Effects of secukinumab on metabolic and liver parameters in plaque psoriasis patients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Psoriasis is associated with metabolic, liver and cardiovascular comorbidity. Secukinumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that selectively neutralizes interleukin-17A, has shown significant and sustained efficacy in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. OBJECTIVES:This was an exploratory post hoc analysis of pooled data from three phase 3 studies in plaque psoriasis patient populations. The objective was to show the course of metabolic and liver parameters under secukinumab, etanercept or placebo treatment over time. A further objective was to assess the impact of selected comorbidities and metabolic characteristics on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), as a surrogate marker of systemic inflammation. METHODS:Data from the phase 3 randomized controlled trials [FIXTURE (NCT01358578), ERASURE (NCT01365455) and SCULPTURE (NCT01406938); n = 3010] were included in this analysis. Patients were treated with secukinumab 150 mg or 300 mg, placebo or etanercept 50 mg (FIXTURE only) as active comparator. A set of metabolic and liver parameters was longitudinally assessed over 52 weeks. Multivariate regression analyses assessed the impact of selected comorbidities and metabolic characteristics on hs-CRP levels at baseline and under treatment. RESULTS:Secukinumab treatment reduced hs-CRP levels. Body weight and uric acid levels tended to decrease over 52 weeks with secukinumab. Secukinumab showed a neutral effect on fasting plasma glucose, lipid parameters and liver enzymes. Psoriatic arthritis, metabolic syndrome, obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, and hyperuricemia were each associated with increased hs-CRP levels at baseline. Concomitant obesity attenuated the decline in hs-CRP under treatment. CONCLUSIONS:These analyses suggest neutral to favourable long-term trends in metabolic and liver parameters under secukinumab treatment. Metabolic comorbidities were associated with increased hs-CRP levels, reflecting the role of systemic inflammatory processes in their pathophysiology.

Project description:BackgroundPsoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease, and hyperuricemia is a common comorbidity in patients with psoriasis. However, there are limited reports on the relationship between serum uric acid levels and biological treatment efficacy. The purposes of this study were to compare the differences in serum uric acid levels between patients with psoriasis and healthy controls and analyze the risk of hyperuricemia.MethodsA total of 196 patients with psoriasis and 191 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. One hundred and twenty-seven patients with severe psoriasis were treated with biologics. Sixty-eight patients received adalimumab, and 59 patients received secukinumab. Serum uric acid levels were measured at baseline, week 24, and week 48 of treatment.ResultsPatients with psoriasis had higher serum uric acid levels than healthy controls (6.4 ± 1.7 mg/dL vs. 5.7 ± 1.5 mg/dL, P < 0.001). Hyperuricemia was found in 33.7% (66/196) of patients with psoriasis, which was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (13.1% [25/191], P < 0.001). Serum uric acid levels and hyperuricemia were not related to the severity of psoriasis ( P > 0.05). No significant changes in serum uric acid levels and hyperuricemia were observed following adalimumab treatment ( P > 0.05). The serum uric acid level in patients treated with secukinumab was 6.7 ± 1.6 mg/dL at week 24, which was not statistically different from that at baseline (6.6 ± 1.4 mg/dL, P = 0.885). Serum uric acid levels were significantly decreased at week 48 (6.3 ± 1.5 mg/dL vs. 6.6 ± 1.4 mg/dL, P = 0.007) in patients treated with secukinumab. Secukinumab had no significant effect on hyperuricemia either ( P > 0.05).ConclusionsThe serum uric acid levels and prevalence of hyperuricemia in patients with psoriasis were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. Secukinumab treatment for 48 weeks successfully decreased serum uric acid levels in patients with psoriasis, whereas adalimumab had no significant effect on serum uric acid levels.

Project description:BackgroundPlaque psoriasis affects ~ 1% of the pediatric population, negatively impacting quality of life. The efficacy and safety of secukinumab in pediatric patients with moderate to severe or severe chronic plaque psoriasis have been established in two pivotal phase 3 trials (open-label, NCT03668613; double-blind, NCT02471144).ObjectivesThe aims were to report the pooled safety of secukinumab up to 52 weeks from two studies in subgroups of pediatric patients stratified by age and bodyweight, and to present, alongside the pediatric data, the pooled safety data from four pivotal adult secukinumab trials.MethodsThe safety of secukinumab was evaluated in subgroups of pediatric patients defined by age (6 to < 12 and 12 to < 18 years) and bodyweight (< 25 kg, 25 to < 50 kg, and ≥ 50 kg) in the pooled population. Patients received secukinumab low dose (LD; 75/75/150 mg), secukinumab high dose (HD; 75/150/300 mg), placebo, or etanercept (0.8 mg/kg). For safety analyses, data were pooled from the pediatric studies NCT03668613 and NCT02471144, and presented alongside the pooled data from four adult pivotal studies (NCT01365455, NCT01636687, NCT01358578, NCT01555125).ResultsA total of 198 pediatric patients (overall exposure: 184.6 patient-years [PY]) and 1989 adult patients (1749.5 PY) receiving secukinumab up to week 52 were included in this analysis. At week 52, the incidence of adverse events (AEs) was lower in the lower age and bodyweight subgroups. The AEs reported within these subgroups were consistent with the overall AEs reported in this analysis. Overall, exposure-adjusted incidence rates for treatment-emergent AEs were lower in the secukinumab-treated pediatric pool (198.8/100 PY) compared with the etanercept (266.3/100 PY) and adult pools (256.1/100 PY). Up to 52 weeks, the incidence rates of the AEs in the secukinumab-treated patients in the 6 to < 12 years subgroup and 12 to < 18 years subgroup were 167.7/100 PY and 214.7/100 PY, respectively. Similarly, incidence rates of the AEs in the secukinumab-treated patients in the < 25 kg, 25 kg to < 50 kg, and ≥ 50 kg subgroups were 177.3/100 PY, 192.5/100 PY, and 206.8/100 PY, respectively. Nasopharyngitis was the most frequently reported AE in secukinumab-treated pediatric patients across age (< 12 years: 11.8/100 PY; ≥ 12 years: 42.4/100 PY) and bodyweight (< 25 kg: 22.8/100 PY; 25 kg to < 50 kg: 19.0/100 PY; ≥ 50 kg: 43.0/100 PY). Of the 198 secukinumab-treated pediatric patients, one reported nail Candida, one reported skin Candida, and two reported vulvovaginal Candida. Transient and mostly mild events of neutropenia were observed with secukinumab, none leading to study treatment discontinuation. No incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies was reported in pediatric patients treated with secukinumab.ConclusionsSecukinumab was well tolerated in pediatric patients with moderate to severe and severe plaque psoriasis across age and bodyweight subgroups. The overall safety profile of secukinumab in pediatric patients was consistent with that of adult patients.ClinicaltrialsGov identifierNCT03668613 (Novartis Study Code CAIN457A2311, referred to as A2311), actual study start date: August 29, 2018; actual primary completion date: September 19, 2019; estimated study completion date: September 14, 2023.

Project description:IntroductionSecukinumab, a fully human anti-interleukin-17A monoclonal antibody, has demonstrated superior efficacy to ustekinumab in the phase 3b CLEAR study of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Here, we report 16-week results from CLARITY, a second head-to-head trial comparing secukinumab with ustekinumab.MethodsIn the phase 3b CLARITY study, patients were randomized 1:1 to receive subcutaneous secukinumab 300 mg or ustekinumab per label. The co-primary objectives were to demonstrate the superiority of secukinumab over ustekinumab at Week 12 in relation to the proportion of patients with (1) 90% or more improvement from baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) and (2) a score of 0/1 (clear/almost clear) on the modified Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA mod 2011 0/1). Key secondary objectives were also assessed, as was Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1 (no impact of skin disease on patients' quality of life) response. Missing values were handled by multiple imputation except for DLQI 0/1, where last observation carried forward techniques were utilized.ResultsBoth co-primary objectives were met: secukinumab was superior to ustekinumab for the proportion of patients achieving a PASI 90 (66.5% vs. 47.9%) and IGA mod 2011 0/1 response (72.3% vs. 55.4%) at Week 12 (p < 0.0001). PASI 90 responses were greater with secukinumab compared to ustekinumab from as early as Week 4 (16.7% vs. 4.0%) and out to Week 16 (76.6% vs. 54.2%). Similarly, IGA mod 2011 0/1 findings were greater with secukinumab at Week 4 (26.9% vs. 7.8%) and at Week 16 (78.6% vs. 59.1%). DLQI 0/1 response rates were also greater with secukinumab compared to ustekinumab at Week 4 (33.9% vs. 18.0%), Week 12 (64.0% vs. 51.7%), and Week 16 (68.4% vs. 55.9%).ConclusionThe results of this study confirm the superior efficacy of secukinumab over ustekinumab in treating patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov Identifier, NCT02826603.FundingNovartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland.

Project description:Background The efficacy and safety of secukinumab in patients with psoriasis has been established in randomised clinical trials. However, data on effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in Latin American real-world settings are scarce.ObjectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in real-world settings in patients with psoriasis in Latin America.MethodsPURE is an ongoing multinational, prospective, observational study in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis in Canada and Latin America assessing the real-world safety and effectiveness of secukinumab and other approved therapies. The study enrolled (1:1) patients treated with secukinumab versus other approved therapies (other Tx) per local standard of care from 81 community- and hospital-based speciality sites (21 in Latin America). Here, we report effectiveness and safety outcomes with secukinumab and other Tx for plaque psoriasis for up to 12 months in a Latin American population.ResultsOverall, 187 patients were included in the analysis, 89 of whom initiated secukinumab treatment and 98 of whom received other Tx. At month 12, 84.4%, 71.1% and 53.3% of patients treated with secukinumab achieved Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75/90/100, respectively, compared with 66.7%, 47.9% and 29.2% of patients who received other Tx. Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) 0/1 responders in secukinumab versus other Tx were 78.3% versus 36.7% at month 3 and 81.8% versus 66.7% at month 12, respectively. Overall, the proportion of patients achieving Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1 improved from 6.9% at baseline to 76.5% at month 12 in patients treated with secukinumab versus 5.6% at baseline to 54.5% at month 12 in patients on other Tx. No unexpected adverse events were reported during the 12-month observation period.ConclusionSecukinumab demonstrated real-world effectiveness and improved dermatology quality-of-life in chronic plaque psoriasis patients from Latin America.Trial registrationPURE: NCT02786186.
