ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The current analysis of the MAXIMISE trial was conducted to investigate the presence of post-inflammatory and degenerative spinal changes and inflammatory changes in spinal processes identified in baseline MRIs and their potential for predicting differential treatment effects in a cohort of PsA patients with axial manifestations.METHODS:
Baseline spinal MRIs from the MAXIMISE trial were re-read to identify additional inflammatory (spinal process), post-inflammatory, and degenerative changes, and investigate the differential treatment effect of these imaging features using logistic regression modelling.RESULTS:
In addition to bone marrow oedema assessed at primary analysis, spinal process inflammation and post-inflammatory changes evaluated by FAt Spondyloarthritis Spine Score were documented in 11.1% and 20.2% patients, respectively. At least one type of degenerative change was noted in 64% patients, with Pfirrmann grade ≥3 (51.1%) being the most common. Combining primary and re-read MRI findings, 67.1% of patients presented with inflammatory or post-inflammatory changes while 21.2% had degenerative changes alone. Although not statistically significant, post-inflammatory changes were associated with a trend for better efficacy outcomes in terms of ASAS20, ASAS40 and BASDAI50 responses; a trend for worse outcomes was observed in the presence of degenerative changes.CONCLUSION:
The current analysis revealed the occurrence of additional inflammatory and post-inflammatory changes suggestive of axial PsA (axPsA) and a trend for better clinical outcomes for patients treated with secukinumab. These results elucidate the imaging characteristics and improve our current understanding of axPsA thereby supporting the interpretation of future trials.
