ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To report up to 3-year safety and effectiveness of certolizumab pegol (CZP) in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis from a postmarketing surveillance study.METHODS:
Patients enrolled previously completed 24 weeks of CZP in the 24-week postmarketing surveillance study. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were recorded for patients who received ≥1 CZP dose. Effectiveness outcomes were 28-joint Disease Activity Score with erythrocyte sedimentation rate and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology response. Week 24-156 safety and Week 0-52 effectiveness data are reported here.RESULTS:
A total of 781 patients were enrolled, with 735 and 376 patients evaluated for safety and effectiveness, respectively. Within the safety set, 17.8% (131/735) of patients reported ADRs; 9.4% (69/735) reported serious ADRs. Among patients with history of respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders, 38.4% (28/73) reported ADRs. The most frequent ADRs were infections and infestations (11.8%; 87/735); skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (1.9%; 14/735); respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders (1.6%; 12/735). Mean 28-joint Disease Activity Score with erythrocyte sedimentation rate reduced from 4.6 (Week 0) to 2.8 (Week 52). At Week 52, 51.8% (161/311) of patients achieved European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology Good response.CONCLUSIONS:
The long-term safety and effectiveness of CZP in the real-world setting in Japan were consistent with previously reported data; no new safety signals were identified.
