Secukinumab sustains improvement in signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis: 2 year results from the phase 3 FUTURE 2 study.

ABSTRACT: To assess long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of secukinumab up to 104 weeks in patients with active PsA.Patients with PsA (n = 397) were randomized to s.c. secukinumab 300, 150 or 75 mg or placebo at baseline, weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 and every 4 weeks thereafter. Placebo-treated patients were re-randomized to receive secukinumab 300 or 150 mg s.c. from week 16 (placebo non-responders) or week 24 (placebo responders). Exploratory endpoints at week 104 included 20, 50 and 70% improvement in ACR criteria (ACR20, 50, 70); 75 and 90% improvement in the Psoriasis Area Severity Index, 28-joint DAS with CRP, presence of dactylitis and enthesitis and other patient-reported outcomes. For binary variables, missing values were imputed; continuous variables were analysed by a mixed-effects model for repeated measures.A total of 86/100 (86%), 76/100 (76%) and 65/99 (66%) patients in the secukinumab 300, 150 and 75 mg groups, respectively, completed 104 weeks. At week 104, ACR20 response rates after multiple imputation in the 300, 150 and 75 mg groups were 69.4, 64.4 and 50.3%, respectively. Sustained clinical improvements were observed through week 104 with secukinumab across other clinically important domains of PsA. Responses were sustained through week 104 regardless of prior anti-TNF-? use. Over the entire treatment period the incidence, type and severity of adverse events were consistent with those reported previously.Secukinumab provided sustained improvements in signs and symptoms and multiple clinical domains in patients of active PsA through 2 years of therapy. Secukinumab was well tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with that reported previously.ClinicalTrials.gov (https://clinicaltrials.gov), NCT01752634.

Project description:BackgroundPain is one of the most important domains affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Secukinumab has demonstrated rapid and sustained improvements in signs and symptoms, including HRQoL, among patients with active PsA. This analysis evaluates the effect of secukinumab on patient-reported pain in PsA through 104 weeks of treatment.MethodsPain was assessed through week 104 using clinically relevant measures, including change from baseline in a pain visual analog scale (VAS) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) bodily domain scores; proportion of patients reporting improvements equal to or better than minimum clinically meaningful differences in the pain VAS and SF-36 bodily pain domain scores; and proportion of patients with no, moderate, or extreme pain/discomfort measured by the EuroQoL 5-Dimension 3-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-3 L) pain item scores. Correlations of pain measures were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Pre-specified analyses of TNF-naïve patients and patients who stopped TNF-inhibitors (TNFis) due to inadequate responses or safety/tolerability (TNF-IR patients) were performed using "as-observed data."ResultsMean improvements from baseline in pain VAS scores were greater with secukinumab versus placebo by week 3 (- 16.9; P < 0.0001 with secukinumab 300 mg and - 12.6; P < 0.05 with secukinumab 150 mg) and sustained through week 104. SF-36 bodily pain domain scores were significantly greater with 300 mg secukinumab and secukinumab 150 mg versus placebo by week 4 (16.2 and 16.3, respectively; P < 0.0001 for both), and these changes were maintained through week 104. With both secukinumab 300 mg and secukinumab 150 mg, improvements equal to or better than the minimum clinically meaningful differences in pain VAS and SF-36 bodily pain were significant versus placebo at week 3 and week 4, respectively. At week 4, 15%, 9%, and 5% of patients receiving secukinumab 300 mg, secukinumab 150 mg, and placebo, respectively, reported "no pain/discomfort" measured by EQ-5D-3 L; these proportions increased to week 104 with both secukinumab doses. Similarly, improvements in pain measures were significant in both TNF-naïve and TNF-IR patients.ConclusionSecukinumab provided rapid and sustained pain relief in PsA over 2 years of treatment. Improvements in pain were reported regardless of prior exposure to TNFis.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01752634 . Registered on 19 December 2012.

Project description:IntroductionPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory arthropathy associated with impaired physical function and reduced quality of life. Biologic therapies that target tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) have significantly improved clinical outcomes. Partial, non- and transient responses remain common comprising significant unmet clinical need. New therapies with novel modes of action are urgently required.ObjectivesThe interleukin (IL)-17 pathway has recently been attributed a critical role in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritides. Herein, we review data from clinical studies with secukinumab, a novel fully human IgG1κ anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody (mAb), in patients with active PsA.ResultsAcross two pivotal phase 3 studies, secukinumab provided significant and sustained reductions in the signs and symptoms of PsA, inhibition of radiographic progression, and improved patient-reported outcomes and measures of quality of life. The primary efficacy endpoint, a ≥20% improvement from baseline according to the American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) response at Week 24, was significantly higher in patients treated with secukinumab compared with placebo, with improvements sustained through at least 52 weeks. Clinical benefits were seen with secukinumab regardless of concomitant methotrexate treatment and in patients who were either anti-TNF-naïve or who were inadequate responders to anti-TNF therapy. Secukinumab was well-tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with that previously reported in psoriasis trials. The most common adverse events were nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infections, and headache.ConclusionSecukinumab offers an effective new addition to the available treatment options for PsA. Regulatory submissions have been filed worldwide, with the first approvals recently obtained in Japan and Europe. Future studies are required to define the optimal timing and strategic use of this novel treatment modality.FundingNovartis Pharma.

Project description:IntroductionTo assess the efficacy and safety of the subcutaneous (s.c.) secukinumab 150 mg with loading (150 mg) or without loading (150 mg no-load) regimen through 104 weeks in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the FUTURE 4 (NCT02294227) study.MethodsPatients with PsA (N = 341) were randomized to s.c. secukinumab 150 mg, 150 mg no-load or placebo at baseline, weeks 1, 2, 3 and every 4 weeks thereafter. All placebo patients were reassigned to secukinumab 150 mg no-load at either week 16 (non-responders) or week 24 (responders). The primary end point was ACR20 at week 16. Patients could have their dose escalated from 150 to 300 mg based on their physician's decision starting at week 36. Pre- and post-escalation ACR and PASI responses were also assessed.ResultsA total of 95.6% (326/341), 84.5% (288/341) and 79.8% (272/341) patients completed 16, 52 and 104 weeks of treatment, respectively. The primary end point was met; ACR20 response rate at week 16 was 41.2% and 39.8% with the 150 mg and 150 mg no-load groups, respectively, versus placebo (18.4%; adjusted P value = 0.0003 for both treatment arms). Efficacy responses observed at week 16 in both treatment regimens were sustained up to week 52 and 104, with many patients continuing to show improvements up to week 104. After dose escalation to 300 mg, the proportion of patients with non-/low-level ACR/PASI response decreased with increasing proportions of patients having higher ACR/PASI responses. No new or unexpected safety signals were reported.ConclusionThe secukinumab 150 mg or 150 mg no-load regimen demonstrated significant and sustained improvements in the signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis through 104 weeks; the loading regimen was associated with numerically higher and earlier responses for some high-hurdle end points. Improved efficacy was observed upon dose escalation from 150 to 300 mg. The safety profile was consistent with previous reports.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02294227.FundingNovartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland.
