RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bimekizumab is a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits interleukin-17A and interleukin-17F. The efficacy and safety of bimekizumab as compared with the tumor necrosis factor inhibitor adalimumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis have not been extensively examined. METHODS: We randomly assigned patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous bimekizumab at a dose of 320 mg every 4 weeks for 56 weeks; bimekizumab at a dose of 320 mg every 4 weeks for 16 weeks, then every 8 weeks for weeks 16 to 56; or subcutaneous adalimumab at a dose of 40 mg every 2 weeks for 24 weeks, followed by bimekizumab at a dose of 320 mg every 4 weeks to week 56. The primary end points were a 90% or greater reduction from baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score (PASI 90 response; PASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating worse disease) and an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1, signifying clear or almost clear skin (scores range from 0 [clear skin] to 4 [severe disease]), at week 16. The analysis of the primary end points tested noninferiority at a margin of -10 percentage points and then tested for superiority. RESULTS: A total of 614 patients were screened, and 478 were enrolled; 158 patients were assigned to receive bimekizumab every 4 weeks, 161 to receive bimekizumab every 4 weeks and then every 8 weeks, and 159 to receive adalimumab. The mean age of the patients was 44.9 years; the mean PASI score at baseline was 19.8. At week 16, a total of 275 of 319 patients (86.2%) who received bimekizumab (both dose groups combined) and 75 of 159 (47.2%) who received adalimumab had a PASI 90 response (adjusted risk difference, 39.3 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 30.9 to 47.7; P<0.001 for noninferiority and superiority). A total of 272 of 319 patients (85.3%) who received bimekizumab and 91 of 159 (57.2%) who received adalimumab had an IGA score of 0 or 1 (adjusted risk difference, 28.2 percentage points; 95% CI, 19.7 to 36.7; P<0.001 for noninferiority and superiority). The most common adverse events with bimekizumab were upper respiratory tract infections, oral candidiasis (predominantly mild or moderate as recorded by the investigator), hypertension, and diarrhea. CONCLUSIONS: In this 56-week trial, bimekizumab was noninferior and superior to adalimumab through 16 weeks in reducing symptoms and signs of plaque psoriasis but was associated with a higher frequency of oral candidiasis and diarrhea. Longer and larger trials are required to determine the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab as compared with other agents in the treatment of plaque psoriasis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Bimekizumab is a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits both interleukin-17A and interleukin-17F. The efficacy and safety of bimekizumab as compared with secukinumab, which selectively inhibits interleukin-17A alone, in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis have not been extensively examined. METHODS: In this phase 3b trial, we randomly assigned patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive bimekizumab subcutaneously at a dose of 320 mg every 4 weeks or secukinumab subcutaneously at a dose of 300 mg weekly to week 4, followed by every 4 weeks to week 48. At week 16, patients receiving bimekizumab underwent rerandomization, in a 1:2 ratio, to receive maintenance dosing every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks to week 48. The primary end point was 100% reduction from baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at week 16. The primary analysis was first tested for the noninferiority of bimekizumab to secukinumab at a margin of -10 percentage points and then tested for superiority. RESULTS: A total of 1005 patients were screened and 743 were enrolled; 373 patients were assigned to receive bimekizumab and 370 to receive secukinumab. At week 16, a total of 230 patients (61.7%) in the bimekizumab group and 181 (48.9%) in the secukinumab group had a 100% reduction from baseline in the PASI score (PASI 100) (adjusted risk difference, 12.7 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.8 to 19.6); bimekizumab was shown to be noninferior and superior to secukinumab (P<0.001 for noninferiority and superiority). At week 48, a total of 250 patients (67.0%) treated with bimekizumab had a PASI 100 response, as compared with 171 patients (46.2%) treated with secukinumab (adjusted risk difference, 20.9 percentage points; 95% CI, 14.1 to 27.7; P<0.001). At the week 4 time point, 265 patients (71.0%) in the bimekizumab group had 75% or greater reduction from baseline in the PASI score, as compared with 175 patients (47.3%) in the secukinumab group (adjusted risk difference, 23.7; 95% CI, 17.0 to 30.4; P<0.001). Oral candidiasis occurred more often with bimekizumab (72 patients, 19.3%) than with secukinumab (11 patients, 3.0%). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, treatment with bimekizumab resulted in greater skin clearance than treatment with secukinumab over 16 and 48 weeks but was associated with oral candidiasis (predominantly mild or moderate as recorded by the investigator). Longer and larger trials are required to determine the comparative effect and risks of interleukin-17 inhibitors in psoriasis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with psoriasis require long-term management; therefore, understanding the long-term safety of new treatments, such as bimekizumab (BKZ), is crucial. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate BKZ's 3-year safety profile in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS: Three years of safety data were pooled from three phase III trials (BE VIVID, BE READY and BE SURE) and their ongoing open-label extension (BE BRIGHT). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are reported using exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 patient-years (PY). RESULTS: In total, 1495 patients received at least one BKZ dose; total BKZ exposure was 3876.4 PY. The overall EAIR of TEAEs was 175.5/100 PY and decreased with longer exposure to BKZ. The most commonly reported TEAEs were nasopharyngitis, oral candidiasis and upper respiratory tract infection (EAIRs of 15.0/100 PY, 10.1/100 PY and 6.5/100 PY, respectively); 99.3% of oral candidiasis events were mild or moderate in severity, none were serious and few led to discontinuation. EAIRs of other TEAEs of interest were low, including serious infections (1.2/100 PY), adjudicated inflammatory bowel disease (0.2/100 PY) and laboratory elevations in aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase (> 5 × upper limit of normal: 0.6/100 PY). CONCLUSIONS: In these analyses pooled across 3 years, no new safety signals were observed with longer exposure to BKZ. The vast majority of oral candidiasis events were mild or moderate in severity, as reported previously.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with psoriasis have increased risk of suicidal ideation and behavior (SIB) and depression. Bimekizumab, a biologic that inhibits interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F, received Food and Drug Administration approval in 2023 for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, following 2021 European Medicines Agency approval. OBJECTIVE: To report SIB and depression in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis treated in bimekizumab clinical trials. METHODS: Mental health changes, including neuropsychiatric events, were actively monitored across 9 bimekizumab clinical trials in psoriasis phase 2/3 trials. The patient-reported electronic Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (measuring SIB) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (measuring depression) were administered, monitored by an independent Neuropsychiatric Adjudication Committee. RESULTS: Throughout 7166 patient-years (PY) of bimekizumab exposure, the adjudicated SIB rate was 0.13/100PY; SIB ranges for the general psoriasis population and patients receiving anti-IL-17A/anti-IL-23 therapies are 0.09 to 0.54/100PY and 0.09 to 0.19/100PY, respectively. At week 16, 92.9% vs 81.1% of bimekizumab- vs placebo-treated patients had no/minimal depression. Newonset positive electronic Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale responses and mean Patient Health Questionnaire-9 scores were low for bimekizumab-treated patients. LIMITATIONS: Patient exclusion for significant/severe prespecified SIB/depression history. CONCLUSION: The long-term adjudicated SIB rate with bimekizumab was low and within ranges reported in the general psoriasis patient population and psoriasis patients treated with anti-IL-17A/anti-IL-23 biologics. Screening/monitoring questionnaires reported low SIB and depression levels.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with psoriasis are at increased risk of liver function abnormalities. OBJECTIVE: Explore rates of hepatic treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and changes in liver parameters in bimekizumab-treated patients with psoriasis. METHODS: Data are reported from 5 phase 3/3b trials over 2 years. Hepatic TEAEs, laboratory elevations in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and changes in clinical markers of liver fibrosis (Fibrosis-4 [FIB-4] Index and AST to Platelet Ratio Index [APRI]) are reported. TEAEs are presented using exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 patient-years (PY). RESULTS: 2186 patients received ≥1 bimekizumab dose. Over 2 years, the EAIR of hepatic TEAEs was 3.5/100 PY and did not increase from first to second year. 2-year EAIRs of ALT/AST elevations >3x and >5x the upper limit of normal were 2.3 and 0.6/100 PY; rates were similar to placebo, adalimumab, secukinumab, and ustekinumab during controlled study periods. FIB-4 and APRI scores did not increase through 2 years, regardless of fibrosis risk at baseline. LIMITATIONS: Obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, chronic alcohol consumption, and medication changes are confounding factors for hepatic dysfunction. CONCLUSION: Rates of hepatic adverse events (AEs) with bimekizumab were consistent through 2 years; incidences of transaminase elevations were similar to comparators during phase 3/3b controlled study periods.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Discontinuation of biologics is common among patients with psoriasis due to treatment failure or adverse events. To achieve improvements in disease management, patients and clinicians may choose to switch biologics. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching to bimekizumab from adalimumab, ustekinumab and secukinumab. METHODS: Data are reported for up to 80 weeks after patients switched to bimekizumab from adalimumab at week 24 in BE SURE, ustekinumab at week 52 in BE VIVID [upon entry into the BE BRIGHT open-label extension (OLE)] and secukinumab at week 48 in BE RADIANT (upon entry into the BE RADIANT OLE). Efficacy outcomes are reported by number of weeks after switching to bimekizumab and were split based on whether patients had achieved a ≥ 90% improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) at the time of switch. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are reported using exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 patient-years. Trial registration: BE SURE (NCT03412747), BE VIVID (NCT03370133), BE BRIGHT (NCT03598790), BE RADIANT (NCT03536884). RESULTS: Rapid and durable improvements in clinical responses and benefits in health-related quality of life were observed among PASI 90 nonresponders who switched to bimekizumab. Most PASI 90 nonresponders achieved PASI 90 4 weeks after switching to bimekizumab from adalimumab (67%), ustekinumab (79%) and secukinumab (53%). After 48 weeks of bimekizumab, 91%, 90% and 79% of PASI 90 nonresponders had achieved PASI 90 after switching from adalimumab, ustekinumab or secukinumab, respectively. Durable improvements were also observed for PASI 100, Investigator's Global Assessment score 0/1, body surface area affected by psoriasis ≤ 1%, absolute PASI ≤ 2, and Dermatology Life Quality Index 0/1. Among PASI 90 responders, existing treatment responses were maintained or improved after switching to bimekizumab. The majority of TEAEs were mild or moderate. EAIRs were generally similar between active-comparator treatment periods and after switching to bimekizumab. EAIRs typically decreased with a longer duration of bimekizumab exposure. CONCLUSIONS: High proportions of patients who did not adequately respond to adalimumab, ustekinumab or secukinumab achieved high levels of skin clearance after switching to bimekizumab. Bimekizumab was well tolerated and there were no new safety findings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: BE SURE 1-year results demonstrated the superior efficacy of bimekizumab compared with adalimumab with no unexpected safety findings. OBJECTIVES: To provide efficacy and safety data over 2 years of bimekizumab treatment compared with adalimumab from BE SURE and the BE BRIGHT open-label extension (OLE) in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS: The 56-week double-blinded BE SURE phase III randomized controlled trial randomized patients 1 : 1 : 1 to bimekizumab 320 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W), bimekizumab 320 mg Q4W to week 16 then every 8 weeks (Q8W), or adalimumab 40 mg every 2 weeks to week 24 then bimekizumab 320 mg Q4W. After completing BE SURE, patients could enter the ongoing BE BRIGHT OLE, with possible dosing adjustments based on Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). The primary outcome in BE BRIGHT was incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); safety data are reported by study period through week 104. Efficacy data are reported for the intention-to-treat population through week 104 by initial randomization group, with ≥ 90% improvement from baseline PASI (PASI 90) and 100% improvement (PASI 100) as key outcomes. RESULTS: Of the patients randomized to bimekizumab, 158 were assigned to Q4W, and 161 to Q4W/Q8W. At week 104, PASI 90 was achieved by 91.2% and 89.7%, and PASI 100 was achieved by 72.3% and 68.1%, for Q4W and Q4W/Q8W, respectively; comparable to week 16 results. Among the 159 patients randomized to adalimumab, responses rapidly and substantially increased after the week 24 bimekizumab switch; at week 104, 96.9% and 70.2% of patients achieved PASI 90 and PASI 100 respectively. Through weeks 24-104, the three most common TEAEs in any bimekizumab-treated group were nasopharyngitis, oral candidiasis and upper respiratory tract infection. Rates of serious TEAEs were low. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical responses observed through week 16 of BE SURE in patients randomized to bimekizumab were sustained through 104 weeks of treatment, regardless of Q4W or Q8W maintenance dosing. Response rates were also sustained through week 104 in patients who switched from adalimumab to bimekizumab at week 24, and were similar to those observed in the bimekizumab groups. Bimekizumab was well tolerated with no new safety signals.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To provide information on pregnancy outcomes in women receiving certolizumab pegol (CZP). METHODS: The UCB Pharma safety database was searched for pregnancies through to September 1, 2014. Reports for maternal and paternal CZP exposure were included and outcomes examined, and data on CZP exposure, pregnancy, comorbidities, and infant events were extracted by 2 independent reviewers. Concomitant medications and disease activity were reviewed for clinical trial patients. RESULTS: Of 625 reported pregnancies, 372 (59.5%) had known outcomes. Paternal exposure pregnancies (n = 33) reported 27 live births, 4 miscarriages, 1 induced abortion, and 1 stillbirth. Maternal exposure pregnancies (n = 339) reported 254 live births, 52 miscarriages, 32 induced abortions, and 1 stillbirth. Almost all reported pregnancies had exposure to CZP in the first trimester, when organogenesis takes place, and a third of them continued the drug into the second and/or third trimesters. The most frequent indications for maternal CZP use were Crohn disease (192/339) and rheumatic diseases (118/339). Twelve cases of congenital malformation and a single neonatal death were reported. CONCLUSION: Analysis of pregnancy outcomes after exposure to CZP supports previous reports, suggesting a lack of harmful effect of maternal CZP exposure on pregnancy outcomes. However, additional data from a larger number of outcomes after exposure and studies including an unexposed comparison group are required to fully evaluate CZP safety and tolerability in pregnancy.
