ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The aim of this work is to evaluate secukinumab vs. placebo in a challenging-to-treat and smaller US patient subpopulation of the international FUTURE 2-5 studies in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).METHODS:
Data were pooled from US patients enrolled in the phase 3 FUTURE 2-5 studies (NCT01752634, NCT01989468, NCT02294227, and NCT02404350). Patients received secukinumab 300 or 150 mg with subcutaneous loading dose, secukinumab 150 mg without subcutaneous loading dose, or placebo. Categorical efficacy and health-related quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes and safety were evaluated at week 16. Subgroup analyses were performed based on tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) status and body mass index (BMI). For hypothesis generation, odds ratios (ORs) for American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20/50/70 and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75/90/100 responses by treatment were estimated using logistic regression without adjustment for multiple comparisons.RESULTS:
Of 2148 international patients originally randomized, 279 US patients were included in this pooled analysis. Mean BMI was > 30 kg/m2 and 55.2% had prior TNFi treatment. ORs for ACR20/50/70 significantly favored patients receiving secukinumab 300 mg and 150 mg with loading dose vs. placebo (P < 0.05), but not those receiving secukinumab 150 mg without loading dose vs. placebo. For PASI75, ORs favored all secukinumab groups over placebo (P < 0.05); for PASI90 and PASI100, only the secukinumab 300-mg group was significantly favored over placebo (P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
In this challenging sub-population of US patients with PsA, secukinumab provided rapid improvements in disease activity and QoL. Patients with PsA and active psoriasis might benefit more from secukinumab 300 mg than 150 mg.
