The study is an investigator initiated study (IIS) single arm treatment, single center where patients will receive active treatment with ActharTM 80 units twice weekly for 4 weeks followed by 40 units twice weekly until week 12. 2-End points: 1.Primary Clinical Endpoint 1. To demonstrate the efficacy of Acthar for the treatment of patients with active psoriatic arthritis and who have not had an adequate response to non-biological DMARDs based on the proportion of subjects achieving a 20% improvement in the number of tender and number of swollen joints, and a 20% improvement in three of the following five criteria: patient global assessment, physician global assessment, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), visual analog pain scale, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein (CRP) as described by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 at week 12. [Time Frame: 12 weeks] 2.Primary Imaging Endpoints The improvement of the total DEMRIQ*-Volume score of synovial inflammation measured in the Metacarpophalangeal (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints. [Time Frame: baseline to week 24] [Time Frame: baseline to week 24] Secondary Outcome Measures: Secondary Imaging Endpoints 1. The improvement in PSAMRIS* Synovitis score in the Metacarpophalangeal (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints. [Time Frame: baseline to week 24] [Time Frame: baseline to week 24]
