ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Long-term therapeutic options providing durable response and tolerability are needed for psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The ongoing KEEPsAKE 2 trial is evaluating risankizumab treatment in patients with active PsA who previously had inadequate response/intolerance to ≥ 1 conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (csDMARD-IR) and/or 1-2 biologic DMARDs (bDMARD-IR). Herein, we report results through 100 weeks of treatment.METHODS:
KEEPsAKE 2 is a global phase 3 trial. Patients with active PsA were randomized 11 to double-blind subcutaneous risankizumab 150 mg or placebo (weeks 0, 4, and 16). At week 24, all patients received open-label risankizumab every 12 weeks until end of study. Efficacy endpoints included achieving ≥ 20% improvement in PsA symptoms using American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR20), attaining minimal disease activity (MDA; meeting ≥ 5/7 criteria of low disease activity and extent), and improving in other measures.RESULTS:
At the cutoff date, 345/443 (77.9%) patients were ongoing in the study. ACR20 was achieved in 57.1% and 52.5% of the continuous risankizumab and placebo/risankizumab cohorts, respectively, at week 100 and in 60.0% and 55.8%, respectively, at week 52. In week 52 responders, maintenance of ACR20 at week 100 was achieved in 74.8% (continuous risankizumab) and 78.7% (placebo/risankizumab) of patients. In the continuous risankizumab and placebo/risankizumab cohorts, respectively, MDA was achieved by 33.0% and 33.3% of patients at week 100 and by 27.2% and 33.8% at week 52. Among MDA responders at week 52, maintenance of MDA response was achieved by 83.6% and 73.0% of the continuous risankizumab and placebo/risankizumab cohorts, respectively. Risankizumab was well tolerated through week 100.CONCLUSIONS:
Risankizumab demonstrated durable efficacy and tolerability through 100 weeks; most patients who achieved ACR20 and MDA responses at week 52 maintained this achievement through week 100. There were no new safety signals in patients who had csDMARD-IR and bDMARD-IR. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03671148.
Risankizumab, a biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug, helps control the body's immune system to reduce symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (a disease that inflames the joints of people who have the skin condition psoriasis). The ongoing KEEPsAKE 2 study is evaluating how well risankizumab works and how safe it is for treating adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis who previously experienced inadequate response to one or more specific types of disease-modifying anti-arthritis drugs. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either risankizumab or an inactive drug; after 24 weeks, all patients received risankizumab. At study week 100, 57% of patients who were assigned to receive continuous risankizumab since the start of the study experienced a 20% or more improvement in a measure of psoriatic arthritis symptoms using criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR20); a similar proportion of patients achieved a 20% improvement at both weeks 24 and 52. Similarly, 56% and 53% of patients who switched from inactive drug to risankizumab achieved ACR20 at weeks 52 and 100 (more than before switching to risankizumab at week 24). Minimal disease activity (MDA) was evaluated by assessing joint and skin symptoms, affected body surface area, pain, and physical function. At week 100, 33% of patients achieved MDA (both groups), which was similar to week 52. Most patients who achieved ACR20 or MDA at week 52 maintained responses at week 100. Improvements with risankizumab were seen in several other measures of treatment outcomes through week 100. Risankizumab was generally safe through 100 weeks.
