Project description:IntroductionDose escalation and reduction of biologic treatments are frequent in clinical practice. The aim of this systematic review is to summarise evidence on dose adjustment of biologic treatments for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in the real-world.MethodsA systematic review of real-world evidence on dose adjustment of biologics for plaque psoriasis was performed. Searches were conducted in BIOSIS Previews®, Embase®, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, MEDLINE®, and SciSearch® in March 2020. Real-world studies that reported biologic dose adjustment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were included.ResultsThe search identified 162 papers, and 20 studies with 30,912 patients were included from 2014 to 2020. More studies reported on dose escalation than dose reduction. For adalimumab, 3-54% of patients had dose reduction while 0-37% had dose escalation. For infliximab, only two studies reported a dose reduction, with rates of 22-29%, while dose escalation rates varied from 14 to 67%. Dose reduction rates of 5-49% were reported for etanercept while 0-55% of patients had doses escalated. For ustekinumab, dose escalation and reduction rates ranged from 3 to 37% and 7 to 42%, respectively. Two studies reported on dose adjustment for secukinumab; in one 52% of patients initiated on 150 mg instead of the recommended 300 mg, while another reported no dose increase.ConclusionsDose adjustment of biologics for psoriasis is common, with escalation more frequently reported than reduction. Dose escalation may have economic and safety consequences, while dose reduction may impact efficacy. These aspects are important to consider when making decisions on treatment dosing.

Project description:Risankizumab (Skyrizi®; risankizumab-rzaa) is a humanized immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody that specifically targets the p19 subunit of interleukin (IL)-23, thereby inhibiting IL-23-dependent cell signaling. Subcutaneous risankizumab is approved for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy (in the EU), those who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy (in the USA) and those who have an inadequate response to conventional therapies (in Japan). In pivotal phase III trials (UltIMMa-1, UltIMMa-2, IMMvent and IMMhance), risankizumab was more effective than placebo, ustekinumab and adalimumab with regard to the proportion of patients achieving ≥ 90% improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (PASI 90) and a static Physician's Global Assessment score of 0 or 1 at week 16, with these benefits maintained over the longer term. In supportive head-to-head trials, risankizumab was also superior to secukinumab and fumaric acid esters in terms of PASI 90 response rate. In an ongoing open-label extension study (LIMMitless), risankizumab was associated with durable and improved efficacy after switching from ustekinumab or adalimumab, as well as durable maintenance of efficacy through > 2.5 years of continuous exposure. Treatment with risankizumab improved health-related quality of life and was generally well tolerated, both in the short- and longer-term. In conclusion, risankizumab represents a useful new treatment option for patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Project description:The development of several highly effective biologic drugs in the past decade has revolutionized the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. With increased understanding of the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis, the emphasis has turned toward more specific targets for psoriasis drugs. Although the complex immunological pathway of psoriasis is not yet completely understood, current models emphasize the significant importance of interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-17. Several biologic drugs targeting these cytokines are now in various stages of drug development. Drugs targeting IL-23 include BI-655066, briakinumab, guselkumab, tildrakizumab, and ustekinumab. Drugs targeting IL-17 include brodalumab, ixekizumab, and secukinumab. While many of these have shown safety and good efficacy in clinical trials of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, long-term safety is still to be established.

Project description:Subcutaneous secukinumab (Cosentyx®) is a recombinant, fully human, immunoglobulin (Ig) G1κ monoclonal antibody targeted against interleukin (IL)-17A, a proinflammatory cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Secukinumab is approved in the EU and the USA for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in pediatric patients aged ≥ 6 years. In pivotal phase III trials in pediatric patients aged 6 to < 18 years, both low (75-150 mg) and high (75-300 mg) doses of secukinumab were significantly better than placebo and numerically better than etanercept at week 12 in terms of the proportion of patients achieving ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and significantly better than placebo and etanercept in terms of the proportion of patients achieving an Investigator's Global Assessment score of 0 or 1. The clinical efficacy of secukinumab observed during the first 12 weeks of treatment was maintained over the longer term. Treatment with secukinumab improved health-related quality of life and was generally well tolerated. In conclusion, secukinumab represents a valuable new addition to the limited treatment options available for children and adolescents with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Project description:IntroductionRapid improvement of psoriasis is valued by patients and should be considered to be an important factor in treatment selection. We investigated Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) response rates within the first 12 weeks of treatment to compare the rapid response of 11 biologic therapies for moderate-to-severe psoriasis using Bayesian and Frequentist network meta-analyses (NMA).MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify phase 3, double-blind, randomized, controlled trials for adult patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis treated with interleukin (IL)-17 (brodalumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab), IL-12/-23 (ustekinumab), IL-23 (guselkumab, risankizumab, tildrakizumab), or tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept, infliximab). Outcome measures extracted from 32 publications were ≥ 75, ≥ 90, or 100% improvement in PASI score (PASI 75, PASI 90, or PASI 100, respectively) at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12 and DLQI (0,1), where score (0,1) indicates no effect on patient's life, at week 12. Bayesian NMA (BNMA) used fixed-treatment effect and random-baseline effect, normal independent models. Frequentist NMA (fNMA) was conducted as sensitivity analyses to test the robustness of the findings.ResultsBased on BNMA and fNMA, brodalumab and ixekizumab showed the most rapid treatment effects on PASI 75 at weeks 2, 4, and 8 and on PASI 90 and PASI 100 at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12; ixekizumab overlapped with risankizumab on PASI 75 at week 12. Brodalumab, ixekizumab, and secukinumab yielded higher DLQI (0,1) gains at week 12 compared to all of the other biologics studied. Additional measures of quality of life were not assessed in this report.ConclusionsIxekizumab and brodalumab provide the most rapid response and earliest clinical benefit at week 2 among all of the biologics studied, including other biologic treatments such as secukinumab, ustekinumab, guselkumab, adalimumab, and etanercept. BNMA and fNMA results showed similar relative effect estimates and treatment rankings.FundingEli Lilly and Company.

Project description:Brodalumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-17 receptor A leading to an inhibition of the biological effect of IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17A/F heterodimer, IL-17C and IL-17E isoforms. It has shown to be efficacious in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (210 mg administered subcutaneously at weeks 0, 1 and 2 followed by 210 mg every 2 weeks [Q2W+1]). A population pharmacokinetic model based on psoriasis patients only from six clinical trials was developed to describe the pharmacokinetics and identify sources of variability. In patients with psoriasis, Brodalumab exhibits non-linear pharmacokinetics due to target-mediated drug disposition resulting in concentration-dependent clearance. The pharmacokinetics was best described by a two-compartment model with linear absorption and combined linear and Michaelis-Menten elimination. The subcutaneous bioavailability of Brodalumab was 55%, absorption rate was 0.30 day-1 , and body-weight was found to affect the volume of distribution and clearance. For a reference patient with plaque psoriasis (body-weight of 90 kg), the estimates were 0.16 L/d for linear serum clearance, 6.1 mg/d for the maximum non-linear clearance rate, and 4.7 and 2.4 L for central and peripheral volume of distribution, respectively. For the approved dosing regimen, time to maximum concentration was 4 days and 90% of steady-state was achieved after 10 weeks for a reference patient. Following last dose at steady-state, 90% of the population of reference patients will reach serum concentrations below lower limit of quantification after 45 days.

Project description:IntroductionPsoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic, inflammatory disease, which has a substantial humanistic and economic burden. This study aimed to assess the impact of this disease on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), work productivity, and direct and indirect costs from a societal perspective among Brazilian patients.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional, observational, multicenter study, enrolling patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis according to physician evaluation. Data collection was performed from December 2015 to November 2016 through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire and five standardized patient-reported outcomes instruments. Direct costs were estimated by multiplying the amount of resources used (12-month recall period) by the corresponding unit cost. Indirect costs were grouped in two time horizons: annual costs (income reduction and absenteeism) and lifetime costs (demission and early retirement).ResultsA total of 188 patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis were included, with mean age of 48.0 (SD 13.1). "Anxiety and depression" and "pain and discomfort" were the most impaired dimensions, according to the EuroQol Five-Dimension-Three-Level (EQ-5D-3L). The highest effect was found for "symptoms and feelings" [mean (SD) 2.4 (1.7)] Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) subscale. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) presence and biologic-naïve status were associated with worse HRQoL. Presenteeism was more frequent than absenteeism, according to the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire-General Health (WPAI-GH) [17.4% vs. 6.3%], while physical demands and time management were the most affected Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) subscales [means (SD) 23.5 (28.5) and 17.7 (24.9), respectively]. The estimated annual cost per patient was USD 4034. Direct medical costs accounted for 87.7% of this estimate, direct non-medical costs for 2.4%, and indirect costs for 9.9%.ConclusionsResults evidenced that moderate to severe plaque psoriasis imposes substantial costs to society. Our data showed that this disease negatively affects both work productivity and HRQoL of Brazilian patients. Subgroups with PsA and biologic-naïve patients presented lower HRQoL, showing the impact of this comorbidity and the relevance of biologics in psoriasis treatment.FundingNovartis Biociências S.A.

Project description:BackgroundReal-life data on patients with psoriasis treated with guselkumab are few and are needed to compare with trial-based data. We investigated the effect of clinical factors on real-world effectiveness of guselkumab.MethodsThis multicentre study retrospectively included 135 patients with psoriasis treated with guselkumab from June 2018 until November 2020. Effectiveness was assessed using the degree of improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores at baseline and after 4, 12, 20, 28, and 36 weeks. Predictors of effectiveness were also evaluated.ResultsAt week 36, 67% of the patients achieved PASI 75. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that heavier patients were less likely to achieve PASI 75 at week 4 than patients with lower body weights. Fewer patients exposed to only one biologic achieved PASI 75 at weeks 4, 20, 28, and 36 [odds ratio (OR) = 0.08 (95% CI, 0.01-0.48), 0.21 (95% CI, 0.05-0.74), 0.04 (95% CI, 0.00-0.35), and 0.07 (95% CI, 0.00-0.68), respectively] than biologic-naïve patients. Patients previously treated with more than one biologic were less likely to achieve PASI 75 at weeks 12, 20, 28, and 36 [OR = 0.05 (95% CI, 0.01-0.22), 0.03 (95% CI, 0.01-0.16), 0.00 (95% CI, 0.00-0.03), and 0.00 (95% CI, 0.00-0.044), respectively] than biologic-naïve patients. Patients with previous anti-interleukin (IL)-17 exposure, rather than tumour necrosis factor-α and IL-12/23 inhibitors, had lower PASI improvements to guselkumab than biologic-naïve patients at weeks 12, 20, and 28 [OR = 0.19 (95% CI, 0.03-0.90), 0.10 (95% CI, 0.02-0.55), and 0.03 (95% CI, 0.00-0.29), respectively].ConclusionsThe effectiveness of guselkumab was compromised in a real-world setting. Delayed onset of therapeutic response was noted in heavier patients. Biologic exposure, the number of previously used biologics, and previous exposure to IL-17 inhibitors were clinical predictors of a reduced response to guselkumab. Physicians may share this information with patients to make treatment decisions.

Project description:IntroductionMany targeted, systemic therapies have been developed for treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis (PsO). A network meta-analysis (NMA) allows for comparison between treatments not directly compared in randomized controlled trials (RCT). This study's objective was to compare the short-term (10-16 weeks) clinical efficacy according to the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) among approved biologic treatments for moderate-to-severe PsO using a novel (enhanced) NMA model.MethodsA systematic literature review (SLR) of RCTs for patients with moderate-to-severe PsO was conducted. English publications in MEDLINE, Embase, and The Cochrane Library up to March 2019 were searched. An enhanced multinomial Bayesian NMA was performed to simultaneously adjust for baseline risk and utilize the conditional nature of the PASI (50, 75, 90, and 100) levels. The model relaxes typical constraints that all treatments must have the same ranks across PASI levels.ResultsThe SLR resulted in 319 relevant publications, of which 72 publications from 73 RCTs reporting 10- to 16-week data for at least one PASI response level (30,314 total patients) were included. Interleukin (IL) inhibitors (risankizumab, ixekizumab, brodalumab, secukinumab, and guselkumab) were the best performing treatments for achieving all PASI levels. Etanercept was outperformed by the other subcutaneous tumor necrosis factor α inhibitors. Application of an enhanced NMA model that allowed treatment rankings to differ by PASI level tested the robustness of results of previous NMAs in PsO.ConclusionThe results of this model confirmed that IL inhibitors are likely the best short-term treatment choices for improving all PASI levels.
