Long-term inflammatory rosacea management with subantibiotic dose oral doxycycline 40 mg modified-release capsules once daily.

ABSTRACT: An important goal of effective rosacea treatment is to maximize the duration of remission. This was a two-part study. Part 1 was a multicenter, open-label, 12-week study in which adults with moderate or severe inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) of rosacea received subantibiotic dose oral doxycycline 40 mg modified release (SDD₄₀ ) and topical metronidazole gel 1%. Part 2 was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 40-week study in which successfully treated subjects received once-daily SDD₄₀ or placebo capsules. The primary objective was to assess relapse and efficacy during long-term use of SDD₄₀ versus placebo. Relapse was defined as a return to baseline investigator global assessment (IGA) or lesion count, or any other necessary change in treatment. Part 1 enrolled 235 subjects. Sixty-five subjects in the SDD₄₀ treatment group and 65 subjects in the placebo group met the definition of treatment success at week 12, and were included in the Part 2 analysis. At the end of Part 2, half as many subjects in the SDD₄₀ group had relapsed compared to the placebo group (13.8% [n = 9] vs. 27.7% [n = 18], p < 0.05). Significant differences in the median change in inflammatory lesion counts were also observed (p < 0.05). Adverse events (AEs) were generally mild-moderate in severity, and most were not treatment-related. Stinging/burning responded with more improvement in subjects treated with SDD₄₀ . After 52 weeks of once-daily treatment, subantibiotic dose doxycycline significantly reduced the relapse rate and inflammatory lesion counts in subjects with moderate-to-severe inflammatory rosacea.

Project description:IntroductionTofacitinib is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To provide additional clinical evidence in regulatory submissions for a modified-release (MR) once-daily (QD) tofacitinib formulation, we compared real-world adherence and effectiveness between patients initiating the MR QD formulation and patients initiating an immediate-release (IR) twice-daily (BID) formulation.MethodsTwo noninterventional cohort studies were conducted. First, adherence and two effectiveness proxies were compared between patients with RA who newly initiated tofacitinib MR 11 mg QD or IR 5 mg BID in the IBM® MarketScan® Commercial and Medicare Supplemental US insurance claims databases (March 2016-October 2018). Second, using data collected in the Corrona US RA Registry (February 2016-August 2019), two Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI)-based measures of effectiveness were compared between tofacitinib MR 11 mg QD and IR 5 mg BID, and against noninferiority criteria derived from placebo-controlled clinical trials of the tofacitinib IR formulation. Multiple sensitivity analyses of the registry data were conducted to reassure regulators of consistent results across different assumptions.ResultsIn each study, approximately two-thirds of patients initiated the MR formulation. In the claims database study, improved adherence and at least comparable effectiveness were observed with tofacitinib MR vs IR over 12 months, particularly in patients without prior advanced therapy. In the registry study, the noninferiority of tofacitinib MR vs IR was demonstrated for both CDAI outcomes at ~6 months; this finding was robust across multiple sensitivity analyses.ConclusionThese results demonstrate the value of real-world evidence from complementary data sources in understanding the impact of medication adherence with a QD formulation in clinical practice. These analyses were suitable for regulatory consideration as an important component of evidence for the comparability of tofacitinib MR 11 mg QD vs IR 5 mg BID in patients with RA.Trial registrationClaims database study: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04018001, retrospectively registered July 12, 2019.

Project description:The efficacy, safety and tolerability of lumiracoxib, a novel selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, has been demonstrated in previous studies of patients with osteoarthritis (OA). As it is important to establish the long-term safety and efficacy of treatments for a chronic disease such as OA, the present study compared the effects of lumiracoxib at doses of 100 mg once daily (o.d.) and 100 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) with those of celecoxib 200 mg o.d. on retention on treatment over 1 year.In this 52-week, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group study, male and female patients (aged at least 40 years) with symptomatic primary OA of the hip, knee, hand or spine were randomised (1:2:1) to lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d. (n = 755), lumiracoxib 100 mg b.i.d. (n = 1,519) or celecoxib 200 mg o.d. (n = 758). The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate non-inferiority of lumiracoxib at either dose compared with celecoxib 200 mg o.d. with respect to the 1-year retention on treatment rate. Secondary outcome variables included OA pain in the target joint, patient's and physician's global assessments of disease activity, Short Arthritis assessment Scale (SAS) total score, rescue medication use, and safety and tolerability.Retention rates at 1 year were similar for the lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d., lumiracoxib 100 mg b.i.d. and celecoxib 200 mg o.d. groups (46.9% vs 47.5% vs 45.3%, respectively). It was demonstrated that retention on treatment with lumiracoxib at either dose was non-inferior to celecoxib 200 mg o.d. Similarly, Kaplan-Meier curves for the probability of premature discontinuation from the study for any reason were similar across the treatment groups. All three treatments generally yielded comparable results for the secondary efficacy variables and all treatments were well tolerated.Long-term treatment with lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d., the recommended dose for OA, was as effective and well tolerated as celecoxib 200 mg o.d. in patients with OA.clinicaltrials.gov NCT00145301.
