Scoping review of biological treatment of deficiency of interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (DITRA) in children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Deficiency of interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (DITRA) is a life threatening monogenic autoinflammatory disease caused by loss of function mutations in the IL36RN gene. Affected patients develop recurrent episodes of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) with systemic inflammation and fever. We here review and analyze the literature on pediatric DITRA patients who have been treated by biologicals targeting inflammatory cytokines. METHOD:A database research was performed to identify all relevant articles on pediatric DITRA patients treated with biologicals. According to defined response criteria therapeutic efficacy was analyzed. RESULTS:Our literature research revealed 12 pediatric patients with DITRA who have received treatment with biologicals and we add a further not yet reported patient. Out of these 13 patients 10 were homozygous including 6 with the p.Leu27Pro, 3 with the p.Arg10 Argfs* and 1 with the p.Thr123Met mutation. 3 patients were compound heterozygous. In total 28 flares were treated with biological agents- targeting IL-1, IL-17, IL-12/23 and TNF-?. Complete response was achieved in 16 flares (57%), a partial reponse was seen in 2 flares (7%), and no response was observed in 10 flares (36%). Response rates were heterogeneous among the different agents. While complete/partial/no response with inhibition of TNF-alpha could be achieved in 7 (58%)/1 (8%)/4 (33%), the inhibition of IL-17 and of IL-12/23 led in each 4 flares to a 100% complete response. IL-1 inhibition led to complete/partial response in each 1 (13%) and was not effective in 6 (76%) flares. Of note, the novel patient was successfully treated with weekly dosed adalimumab. CONCLUSIONS:DITRA is a rare disease that has to be considered in GPP with systemic inflammation and fever. It can be effectively treated with specific biological inhibition of TNF-alpha, IL-12/23 and IL- 17, while anti-IL-1 treatment seems less effective. Weekly dosed adalimumab appears to be a treatment option for pediatric patients. Further reports and studies of biological treated pediatric DITRA patients are warranted for evaluation of optimal treatment.

Project description:IntroductionDeficiencies in interleukin (IL)-1 receptor (IL-R) antagonist (DIRA) and IL-36R antagonist (DITRA) are rare genetic autoinflammatory diseases related to alterations in antagonists of the IL-1 pathway. IL-1 antagonists may represent therapeutic alternatives. Here, we aim to provide a scoping review of knowledge on use of IL-1-targeting drugs in DIRA and DITRA.MethodsAn a priori protocol was published, and the study was conducted using the methodology described in the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual and the recently published PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review statement. A three-step search using MEDLINE and EMBASE databases until March 2018 with additional hand searching was performed. Data charting was performed. The search, article selection, and data extraction were carried out by two researchers independently.ResultsTwenty-four studies on use of anti-IL-1 drugs were included [15 studies including patients with diagnosis of DIRA (n = 19) and 9 studies including patients with diagnosis of DITRA (n = 9)]. Most studies followed a multicenter observational design. Among all patients who received treatment with anti-IL-1 drugs, nine and four mutations in IL1RN and IL36RN were found, respectively. Patients with DIRA were treated with anakinra (n = 17), canakinumab (n = 2), or rinolacept (n = 6). All patients with DITRA were treated with anakinra, and only one case was also treated with canakinumab. Time-to-response frequencies were evaluated as immediate, short, and medium-long term for DIRA (17/17, 15/17, and 9/10, respectively) and DITRA (7/9, 3/9, and 2/9, respectively). Most DITRA patients in whom anti-IL-1 treatment failed experienced good response to anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha or anti-IL-12/23 drugs. The safety profiles of treatments were similar in both diseases.ConclusionsEvidence on use of anti-IL-1 drugs in DIRA and DITRA is scarce and based on observational studies. Larger studies with better methodological quality are needed to increase confidence in use of these drugs in patients with DIRA and DITRA.

Project description:BackgroundGeneralized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a systemic inflammatory disease with poor outcomes, and several studies have suggested that the mutation of the interleukin 36 receptor antagonist gene (IL36RN) is related to GPP, where the polymorphism c.115+6T>C is reported to be the most common mutation of IL36RN. This study was performed to clarify and comprehensively evaluate the relationship between IL36RN gene polymorphism and the susceptibility of GPP subtypes.MethodsTo conduct a thorough literature review, studies were obtained using databases such as Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Wanfang database. Only studies published up to December 2019 were included. The quality of the research studies was estimated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. The total odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were pooled and analysed using STATA 14. The publication bias was evaluated through the Egger test, performed using the aforementioned software. Five common gene models were built and analysed to assess the association between the polymorphism c.115+6T>C and subtypes of GPP.ResultsA total of 10 studies were selected, including 683 cases of GPP patients. Meta-analyses showed that there was a significant statistical correlation of IL36RN mutation between GPP with or without psoriasis vulgaris (OR = 3.82, 95%CI 2.63-5.56) and between adult GPP and paediatric GPP (OR = 0.42, 95%CI 0.23-0.77). No obvious discrepancy between European patients (OR = 4.03, 95%CI 2.23-7.26) and Asian patients was found. The gene models showed clear associations between the polymorphism c.115+6T>C and GPP through the dominant model (CC+ TC vs TT, OR 2.74, 95%CI 2.06-3.64), recessive model (CC vs CT + TT, OR 4.33, 95%CI 2.84-6.60), homozygote model (CC vs TT, OR 4.37, 95%CI 2.88-6.62), heterozygote model (CT vs TT, OR 2.26, 95%CI 1.32-3.85) and allelic model (C vs T, OR 3.35, 95%CI 2.63-4.27).ConclusionThe IL36RN mutation is strongly related to GPP without psoriasis vulgaris and the early onset of GPP. Furthermore, the single-nucleotide polymorphism c.115+6T>C of the IL36RN gene plays a significant role in GPP vulnerability, especially in homozygous mutation. GPP could be a different inflammatory disease, independent of psoriasis.
