ABSTRACT
In this review article four clinical comparative studies in axial spondylarthritis (axSpA) are presented and discussed. SURPASS as the only head-to-head study investigated the effect of adalimumab biosimilar disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bsDMARD) or secukinumab on radiographic progression over a time period of 2 years. Overall, the radiographic progression of the spine was low and no significant difference between adalimumab bsDMARD or secukinumab was noted. The three other studies were not constructed as direct head-to-head studies but compared the efficacy of non-steroidal antirheumatic drugs (NSARD) with and without simultaneous treatment with biological DMARDs (bDMARD). The CONSUL study showed no statistically significant difference in the delay of radiographic progression of the spine over 2 years in radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA) patients, who underwent either combined treatment with golimumab and celecoxib or treatment with golimumab alone over 2 years. The ESTHER study showed that patients with early axSpA active inflammatory lesions, which were detected by whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), showed a significantly greater improvement under treatment with etanercept than those treated with sulfasalazine. The INFAST study showed that patients with early active axSpA who received a combined treatment of infliximab and naproxen, achieved a clinical remission twice as frequently as those who only received naproxen. Therefore, for the endpoint of radiological progression no difference could be shown in the inhibition of radiological progression between the mechanisms of action investigated. The comparative data for the endpoint of clinical efficacy showed that patients with bDMARDs showed a clearly better response to treatment than patients with NSAR or conventional synthetic DMARDs (csDMARD).
