Axial spondyloarthritis and axial psoriatic arthritis: similar or different disease spectrum?

ABSTRACT: Aims:First, to compare clinical features and biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) response in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA). Second, to identify possible predictors of treatment response in both entities. Methods:One-year follow-up, observational, single-center study including all patients with axSpA or axPsA who started bDMARDs therapy. Clinical features were collected at baseline while disease activity was measured at baseline, 6 and 12?months by the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score and the Physician Global Assessment. The frequency of patients achieving inactive disease (ID), low disease activity (LDA), high or very high disease activity and clinical improvement were compared between axSpA and axPsA. Baseline predictor factors for achieving treatment response were identified through regression models, using odds ratio (OR) as an estimate. Results:In total, 352 patients were included: 287 (81.5%) axSpA and 65 (18.5%) axPsA. No significant differences at baseline were observed between the two diseases for most of the characteristics. While HLA-B27 positivity was associated with axSpA (OR?=?5.4; p?

Project description:ObjectiveThe main objective of this study was to compare disease burden in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA).MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, all the RA (1093), PsA (365) and ax-SpA (333) patients who visited the out-patient clinic of the Hospital of Southern Norway Trust during the year 2013 were included; the RA patients all had a RA diagnosis verified by the treating rheumatologist, the PsA patients all fulfilled the ClASsification for Psoriatic ARthritis (CASPAR) criteria and the ax-SpA patients all fulfilled the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) classification criteria for ax-SpA. Patient-reported health status, demographic variables, medications, and composite scores of disease activity were assessed. The main analyses were performed using General Linear Models adjusted for age, sex and multiple comparisons. Correlation analyses were performed using Spearman's rho.ResultsThe reported pain, joint pain, patient's global assessment and fatigue were similar in PsA and ax-SpA, but significantly lower in RA. The 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) (0.3±0.1, p = 0.003), Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) (1.0±0.4, p = 0.028) and Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) (0.4±0.1, p = 0.004) were all significantly higher in PsA vs. RA. RAPID3 showed moderate to high correlation with DAS28 (rho = 0.521, p<0.001) and CDAI (rho = 0.768, p<0.001) in RA and PsA, and with Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) (rho = 0.902, p<0.001) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) (0.865, p<0.001) in ax-SpA and PsA.ConclusionIn conclusion, patient- reported outcome measures were similar in our population of PsA and ax-SpA patients, but significantly lower for the RA patients. Composite disease activity measures were lower in RA than in PsA and ax-SpA, but the magnitude of these differences was small and probably not of clinical significance. Our study indicates that disease burden in RA, PsA and ax-SpA may be more similar than previously demonstrated.

Project description:IntroductionThis article aims to describe malignancies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) treated with upadacitinib (UPA) or active comparators.MethodsThis integrated safety analysis includes data from 11 phase 3 UPA trials across RA (6 trials), PsA (2 trials), AS (2 trials; one phase 2b/3), and nr-axSpA (1 trial). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were summarized for RA (pooled UPA 15 mg [UPA15], pooled UPA 30 mg [UPA30], adalimumab 40 mg [ADA], methotrexate monotherapy [MTX]), PsA (pooled UPA15, pooled UPA30, ADA), AS (pooled UPA15), and nr-axSpA (UPA15). TEAEs were reported as exposure-adjusted event rates (events/100 patient-years).ResultsMedian treatment duration ranged from 1.0 to 4.0 years (with a maximum of 6.6 years in RA). Across treatments and indications, rates of malignancy excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) ranged from 0.2 to 1.1, while NMSC ranged from 0.0 to 1.4. In RA, rates of malignancy excluding NMSC were generally similar between UPA15, UPA30, ADA, and MTX (breast and lung cancer were the most common). In RA and PsA, Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed no differences in event onset of malignancy excluding NMSC with UPA15 versus UPA30 over time. In RA, NMSC rates were higher with UPA30 than UPA15; both UPA15 and UPA30 were higher than ADA and MTX. In PsA, rates of malignancy excluding NMSC and NMSC were generally similar between UPA15, UPA30, and ADA. In AS and nr-axSpA, malignancies were reported infrequently. Few events of lymphoma were reported across the clinical programs.ConclusionRates of malignancy excluding NMSC were generally similar between UPA15, UPA30, ADA, and MTX and were consistent across RA, PsA, AS, and nr-axSpA. A dose-dependent increased rate of NMSC was observed with UPA in RA.Trial registrationClinicaTrials.gov identifier: NCT02706873, NCT02675426, NCT02629159, NCT02706951, NCT02706847, NCT03086343, NCT03104400, NCT03104374, NCT03178487, and NCT04169373.

Project description:IntroductionEmerging evidence suggests psoriatic arthritis (PsA) with axial involvement (axPsA) and radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) may possibly represent distinct disorders, with some differing clinical manifestations, genetic associations, and radiographic findings. Moreover, axPsA and r-axSpA may respond differently to therapies: guselkumab (interleukin [IL]-23p19 subunit inhibitor [i]) and ustekinumab (IL-12/23p40i) demonstrated improvements in axial symptoms in patients with PsA; however, neither risankizumab (IL-23p19i) nor ustekinumab demonstrated efficacy versus placebo in patients with r-axSpA. Current analyses aim to further understand potential molecular distinctions between axPsA and r-axSpA and examine the pharmacodynamic effects of guselkumab in patients with axPsA and those with PsA without axial involvement (non-axPsA).MethodsPost hoc analyses utilized biomarker data from blood and serum samples collected from a subset of participants in phase 3 studies of ustekinumab in r-axSpA and guselkumab in PsA (DISCOVER-1 and DISCOVER-2). Participants with axPsA were identified by investigator-verified sacroiliitis (imaging-confirmed) and axial symptoms. HLA mapping, serum cytokine analysis, and whole-blood RNA sequencing were conducted.ResultsRelative to r-axSpA, patients with axPsA had a lower prevalence of HLA-B27, HLA-C01, and HLA-C02 alleles and a higher prevalence of HLA-B13, HLA-B38, HLA-B57, HLA-C06, and HLA-C12 alleles. Compared with r-axSpA, patients with axPsA had elevated baseline levels of serum IL-17A and IL-17F cytokines, enrichment of IL-17 and IL-10 pathway-associated genes, and neutrophil gene markers. Across axPsA and non-axPsA cohorts, reductions in cytokine levels and normalization of pathway-associated gene expression with guselkumab treatment were comparable.ConclusionThe differences in HLA genetic associations, serum cytokines, and enrichment scores support the concept that axPsA and r-axSpA may be distinct disorders. The comparable pharmacodynamic effects of guselkumab on cytokine levels and pathway-associated genes observed in patients with axPsA and non-axPsA are consistent with demonstrated clinical improvements across PsA cohorts. These findings contribute to the understanding of potential genetic and molecular distinctions between axPsA and r-axSpA.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifiers, NCT03162796, NCT0315828, NCT02437162, and NCT02438787.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate humoral responses to three doses of the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CoronaVac) in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and the effect of therapy, compared with a control group (CG).MethodsProspective cohort of axial SpA/psoriatic arthritis patients and age/sex-balanced CG from the CoronavRheum phase 4 trial (NCT04754698). CoronaVac was given in two doses (28-days interval) with a booster at day 210. Blood samples were collected in the days 0/28 (D28)/69 (D69) and 240 (D240) to evaluate anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG seropositivity (SP) and neutralising antibodies (NAb).ResultsOne hundred and ninety-four SpA patients were enrolled and 183 patients were age/sex-balanced with 183 CG. At D69, SpA patients showed a high SP (80.2% vs. 95.7%, P<0.001) and moderate NAb positivity (61.6% vs. 82.7%, P<0.001), but lower than CG. In patients, older age prednisone (P<0.001), methotrexate (MTX) (P<0.001) and TNF inhibitors (TNFi) (P<0.001) were independently associated with lower SP, while Caucasian ethnicity (P<0.05) and prednisone (P<0.01) were associated with diminished NAb. In contrast, sulfasalazine (SSZ) use was associated with NAb presence (P<0.05). In monotherapy, only TNFi was also associated with absence of SP (P<0.05). Further comparison with CG revealed that TNFi and/or MTX negatively impacted SP/NAb (P<0.05). In contrast, patients under SSZ monotherapy achieved 100% SP (P>0.999) and 83.3% NAb positivity (P>0.999). SSZ+TNFi combination resulted in a similar response than CG [SP (P=0.153) and NAb (P=0.715)]. After third dose (D69-D240), a major increment occurred for SP (81.3% to 93.1%, P<0.001) and NAb (63.2% to 86.1%, P<0.001), but still lower than CG (P<0.05), and only TNFi impaired both SP (P=0.016)/NAb (P=0.002).ConclusionsWe provided novel data demonstrating that TNFi attenuates immunogenicity in SpA patients while SSZ has a positive impact on vaccine antibody production. We also confirmed that MTX in combination with TNFi had a major negative impact in vaccine humoral response (CoronavRheum clinicaltrials.gov #NCT04754698).
