Abstract
BackgroundIn a 24-week, phase 2 clinical study (NCT02708095) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), baricitinib (BARI), an oral selective inhibitor of Janus kinase 1 and 2 approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and atopic dermatitis, inhibited the type l interferon gene signature, multiple other cytokine pathways, and improved disease activity (1) (2).ObjectivesTo further evaluate the efficacy and safety of BARI in patients with SLE.MethodsPatients with active SLE receiving stable background therapy were randomised 1:1:1 to BARI 2-mg, 4-mg, or placebo (PBO) once daily in two identically designed, 52-week, phase 3 randomised, PBO-controlled studies. In SLE-BRAVE-I (NCT03616912) and -II (NCT03616964), 760 and 775 patients, respectively were enrolled in a balanced manner across regions, although different countries per region participated in each study. The primary endpoint for both studies was the proportion of patients achieving an SLE Responder Index-4 (SRI-4) response at week 52. Glucocorticoid tapering was encouraged but not required per protocol.ResultsThe mean Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) at baseline was 10.1 for both SLE-BRAVE-I and -II participants; musculoskeletal and mucocutaneous domains were the most common domains involved at baseline. In SLE-BRAVE-I, the proportion of SRI-4 responders at week 52 among patients treated with BARI 4-mg (56.7%), but not BARI 2-mg (49.8%), was significantly greater than in patients treated with PBO (45.9%, p = 0.016) (Table 1). No difference was seen in SLE-BRAVE-II (47.1%, 46.3%, and 45.6%, BARI 4-mg, 2-mg, and PBO, respectively). None of the key secondary endpoints, including glucocorticoid tapering or time to first severe flare (SFI), were met in either study. The proportions of patients with serious adverse events (SAEs) were 7.1% and 8.6% for PBO, 9.4% and 13.4% for BARI 2-mg and 10.3% and 11.2% for BARI 4-mg in SLE-BRAVE-I and II, respectively.Table 1.Efficacy and safety of baricitinib in patients with SLE-BRAVE-I and -IISLE-BRAVE-ISLE-BRAVE-IIEfficacy measurePBO (N=253)BARI 2-mg (N=255)BARI 4-mg (N=252)PBO (N=256)BARI 2-mg (N=261)BARI 4-mg (N=258)SRI-4 (W52)116 (45.9)126 (49.8)142 (56.7)*116 (45.6)120 (46.3)121 (47.1)SRI-4 (W24)99 (39.1)114 (44.8)117 (46.5)98 (38.6)104 (40.0)108 (42.1)Severe Flares (n, events)38 (15.0)34 (13.3)26 (10.3)26 (10.2)29 (11.1)29 (11.2)HR for time to first severe flare (SFI) HR [CI]NA0.8 [0.52, 1.32]0.65 [0.40, 1.08]NA1.1 [0.65, 1.89]1.1 [0.67, 1.94]Glucocorticoid sparing36 (30.8)31 (29.2)36 (34.0)33 (31.7)34 (29.8)36 (34.3)LLDAS (W52)66 (26.2)65 (25.7)74 (29.7)59 (23.2)62 (24.0)65 (25.4)Safety measureTEAE210 (83.0)210 (82.4)208 (82.5)198 (77.3)199 (76.2)200 (77.5)SAE18 (7.1)24 (9.4)26 (10.3)22 (8.6)35 (13.4)29 (11.2)Data are n (%) patients, unless otherwise indicated.

Abstract
BackgroundThe preferential Janus kinase-1 inhibitor FIL significantly improved signs and symptoms of RA in Phase 2 and 3 trials.1–5 FIL is approved for treatment of moderate to severe active RA in Europe and Japan. Integrated safety analysis of FIL with patient data through 2019 was presented at the 2020 ACR virtual meeting.6ObjectivesTo report updated, as-treated data from the FIL integrated safety analysis with increased study drug exposure.MethodsData were integrated from 2 Phase 2 (NCT01668641, NCT01894516), 3 Phase 3 (NCT02889796, NCT02873936, NCT02886728), and 2 long-term extension (LTE) (NCT02065700, NCT03025308) trials. Phase 2 and 3 LTE data were through Nov 2020 and Jan 2021, respectively. The as-treated analysis set included all available data for pts receiving ≥1 dose FIL 200 (FIL200) or 100 mg (FIL100), including those rerandomized to FIL for LTE. Exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIR)/100 patient-y exposure (PYE) of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; onset after first dose and no later than 30 days after last dose or new drug first dose date −1 day) and TEAEs of special interest (AESIs) are presented.Results3691 pts received FIL200 or FIL100 for 8085.1 PYE (median 2.2, maximum 6.8 y). In the as-treated set, 61% of FIL200 and 45% of FIL100 pts received FIL for ≥2 y, 19% and 5% for ≥3 y, and 11% and 0.5% for ≥4.5 y, respectively. EAIR for TEAEs was higher with FIL100 than FIL200; EAIRs for deaths were 0.5 and 0.3 for FIL200 and FIL100 (Figure 1). Incidences of infections and serious infections were numerically greater for FIL100 vs FIL200, while EAIRs for other AESIs were comparable between doses (Table 1). EAIRs for AESIs tended to decrease since the previous update, except for venous thromboembolism (total FIL 0.1 to 0.2) and malignancies excluding NMSC (total FIL 0.5 to 0.6).Table 1.TEAEs of special interest, as-treated setTEAE, n (%) and EAIR per 100 PYE (95% CI)FIL 200 mgn=2267PYE=5302.5FIL 100 mgn=1647PYE=2782.6Total FILN=3691PYE=8085.1Infectious AEs1206 (53.2)747 (45.4)1927 (52.2)EAIR21.1 (19.7, 22.5)30.2 (26.8, 34.0)21.0 (19.9, 22.3)Serious infectious AEs80 (3.5)57 (3.5)137 (3.7)EAIR1.5 (1.1, 1.9)2.7 (1.9, 3.9)1.6 (1.3, 2.0)Opportunistic infections5 (0.2)4 (0.2)9 (0.2)EAIR0.1 (0, 0.2)*0.1 (0.1, 0.4)*0.1 (0.1, 0.2)*Active tuberculosis03 (0.2)3 (<0.1)EAIR00.1 (0, 0.3)*0 (0, 0.1)*Herpes zoster84 (3.7)30 (1.8)114 (3.1)EAIR1.6 (1.2, 2.0)1.1 (0.8, 1.5)*1.4 (1.1, 1.7)Major adverse cardiovascular eventsa19 (0.8)14 (0.9)33 (0.9)EAIR0.3 (0.2, 0.5)0.5 (0.3, 0.8)*0.4 (0.2, 0.6)Venous thromboembolismb11 (0.5)4 (0.2)15 (0.4)EAIR0.2 (0.1, 0.4)*0.1 (0.1, 0.4)*0.2 (0.1, 0.3)*Atrial systemic thrombotic eventsa1 (<0.1)1 (<0.1)2 (<0.1)EAIR0 (0, 0.1)0 (0, 0.3)0 (0, 0.1)Malignancy excluding NMSC32 (1.4)17 (1.0)49 (1.3)EAIR0.6 (0.4, 0.9)0.6 (0.4, 1.0)*0.6 (0.4, 0.8)NMSC15 (0.7)5 (0.3)20 (0.5)EAIR0.3 (0.2, 0.5)*0.2 (0.1, 0.4)*0.2 (0.2, 0.4)*Gastrointestinal perforations3 (0.1)1 (<0.1)4 (0.1)EAIR0.1 (0, 0.2)*0 (0, 0.3)*0 (0, 0.1)**Except when any study had 0 event within the treatment, the Poisson model was not adjusted by study.

EAIRs of TEAEs, including deaths, and AESIs remained stable or decreased since the 2020 report, except for slight increases in rates of NMSC and malignancies excluding NMSC. In the context of demonstrated efficacy, both FIL doses had an acceptable risk/benefit profile.References[1]Westhovens R et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2017;76:998–1008.[2]Kavanaugh A et al.

Abstract
BackgroundLupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) attainment has been reported to be associated with reduced damage accrual, flare, and mortality, as well as improved quality of life, in cohorts of SLE patients with established disease. Whether these associations are present in recent-onset disease is less well known.ObjectivesTo evaluate the associations of LLDAS attainment with outcomes in patients with recent onset SLE.MethodsData from a 13-country longitudinal SLE cohort (ACR/SLICC criteria) were collected prospectively between 2013 and 2020 using standard templates. Organ damage and flare were captured using SLICC Damage Index and SELENA-SLEDAI Flare Index, respectively. LLDAS was defined as Golder et al., 2019 [1]. An inception cohort was defined based on duration since SLE diagnosis<1 year at enrolment. Patient characteristics between inception and non-inception cohorts were compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum (continuous variables) or Pearson’s Chi-squared tests (categorical variables). Survival analyses were performed to examine the association between LLDAS attainment and damage accrual and flare.ResultsThe study cohort included 4,106 patients of whom 680 (16%) were recruited within 1 year of SLE diagnosis (inception cohort). Compared to the non-inception cohort, inception cohort patients were significantly younger, had higher disease activity (SLEDAI-2K and physician global assessment), used more glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants but had less organ damage at enrolment and only 88 (13.6%) patients accrued damage during a median 2.2 years follow-up (Table 1).Table 1.Non-inception cohortInception cohortp-valuen=3426n=680Age at enrolment (years), median [IQR]40 [31, 51]33 [25, 44]<0.001Age at diagnosis (years), median [IQR]28 [21, 38]33 [25, 43]<0.001SLE duration at enrolment (years), median [IQR]10 [5, 16]1 [0, 1]<0.001Study duration (years), median [IQR]2.5 [1.0, 5.4]2.2 [0.9, 3.7]<0.001Females, n (%)3155 (92.1%)623 (91.6%)0.68Asian ethnicity, n (%)3037 (89.1%)595 (88.1%)0.49Prednisolone (PNL) use - ever, n (%)2865 (83.6%)620 (91.2%)<0.001Time adjusted mean (TAM)-PNL, median [IQR]5.0 [2.2, 8.6]6.2 [3.2, 10.3]<0.001Cumulative PNL (g), median [IQR]3.4 [0.5, 9.7]3.8 [1.1, 8.5]0.26Anti-Malarial use - ever, n (%)2669 (77.9%)569 (83.7%)<0.001Immunosupressant use -ever, n (%)2367 (69.1%)521 (76.6%)<0.001AMS (TAM-SLEDAI-2K), median [IQR]2.8 [1.2, 4.6]3.1 [1.6, 5.0]0.002TAM-PGA, median [IQR]0.4 [0.2, 0.7]0.4 [0.3, 0.8]<0.001Mild/moderate/severe flare ever, n (%)1789 (52.2%)391 (57.5%)0.012Organ damage accrual, n (%)629 (20.8%)88 (13.6%)<0.001LLDAS at baseline, n (%)1730 (50.5%)195 (28.7%)<0.001LLDAS-ever (at least once), n (%)2637 (78.2%)492 (73.9%)0.014≥50% time in LLDAS (LLDAS-5), n (%)1612 (50.6%)256 (41.1%)<0.001Significantly fewer inception cohort patients were in LLDAS at enrolment than the non-inception cohort (29% vs. 51%, p<0.001). However, 74% of inception and 78% of non-inception cohort patients achieved LLDAS at least once during follow-up. Limiting analysis only to patients not in LLDAS at enrolment, time to first LLDAS attainment was assessed: inception cohort patients were 60% more likely to attain their first LLDAS (HR = 1.60 (95%CI: 1.40, 1.82), p<0.001) than non-inception cohort patients. LLDAS attainment was significantly protective against flare in the inception (HR, 95% CI) and non-inception (HR, 95% CI) cohorts. Trends towards protection against damage accrual in association with LLDAS in the inception cohort were not significant.ConclusionLLDAS attainment is protective from flare in recent onset SLE. Significant protection from damage accrual was not observed, due to low rates of damage accrual in the first years after SLE diagnosis.References[1]Golder, V., et al., Lupus low disease activity state as a treatment endpoint for systemic lupus erythematosus: a prospective validation study.

Abstract
BackgroundPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a major clinical challenge in systemic sclerosis (SSc), and is associated with high mortality. Risk stratification provides an estimate for individual patient risk of 1-year mortality. The aim is to detect patients with the worst prognosis to optimize management strategies. Nine risk stratification approaches have been proposed in PAH, but have not been validated in SSc-PAH.ObjectivesTo assess four risk stratification models and their performance to predict 1- and 3- year mortality and to identify the best risk assessment approach for SSc-PAH.MethodsWe included all patients with SSc diagnosed with PAH by right heart catheterization (RHC) from the European scleroderma trial and research (EUSTAR) database from 2001 to February 2021. PAH was defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15mmHg, and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >3 Wood units (WU) in the absence of significant interstitial lung disease. We applied four different approaches for risk stratification at time of PAH diagnosis. Risk parameters included New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), NT-proBNP or BNP, and echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters with cut-off values based on the 2015 ESC/ERS Guidelines. Model 1 and 2 stratified patients into low, intermediate and high-risk categories; while Model 3 and 4 stratified the patients into four categories (low, intermediate-low, intermediate-high and high).Model 1: Patients with ≥ 1 high-risk parameter were considered at high risk; with ≥ 1 intermediate-risk parameter at intermediate risk, otherwise at low risk1Model 2: Each variable was graded from 1 to 3 representing low to high risk. The mean of available risk parameters was rounded to the nearest integer to define the risk category2Model 3: Equals Model 2, but the intermediate risk group was divided into intermediate-low and intermediate-high based on the mean score3Model 4: Stratifies patients into four risk categories based on the proportion of low-risk parameters3We performed analysis of 1- and 3- year mortality in patients with a minimum follow-up of 1 and 3 years, respectively.ResultsOf 911 patients who conducted RHC, 273 (30%) were diagnosed with SSc-PAH according to the inclusion criteria (Table 1). Median follow-up time was 2.8 years (IQR 1.3-5.3). The models varied in their ability to predict mortality (Figure 1). Model 1 and 4 either over- or underestimated mortality. Model 2 stratified patients according to the expected 1-year mortality of <5%, 5-10% and >10% suggested by the ESC/ERS Guidelines. Model 3, which divided the intermediate risk group in two different risk groups, segregated the risk of mortality further within this group.Table 1.Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients segregated by risk stratification (Model 3)NAll patients (n=273)Low-risk (n=78)Intermediate-low (n=118)Intermediate-high (n=56)High-risk (n=21)Age, years (SD)27365 (10.7)65 (10.3)65 (10.7)65 (10.8)67 (12.8)Female sex, n (%)273230 (84)64 (82)98 (83)48 (86)20 (95)lcSSc, n (%)263221 (84)60 (80)99 (86)47 (90)15 (71)NYHA 3 or 4, n (%)261155 (59)12 (16)75 (68)49 (89)19 (95)NT-proBNP, pg/ml (IQR)1111941 (230-1485)215 (103-377)763 (325-1418)1926 (1051-5681)3314 (1129-6553)6MWD, m (SD)196321 (124.1)404 (119.7)314 (99.9)262 (128.6)215 (96.0)RHC:- mPAP, mmHg (SD)27340 (11.0)35 (8.8)41 (11.5)41 (10.8)45 (11.6)- PAWP, mmHg (SD)2739 (3.2)9 (3.0)9 (3.4)9 (3.2)8 (3.1)- Cardiac index, l/min/m2(SD)2602.8 (0.8)3.2 (0.7)2.7 (0.8)2.6 (1.0)2.0 (0.5)- PVR, WU (SD)2737.4 (4.1)5.3 (2.8)7.9 (4.0)7.9 (4.2)11.3 (4.7)Figure 1.1- and 3-year mortality according to risk category in the four different modelsConclusionModel 3 provides signals for a better risk stratification of patients with newly diagnosed SSc-PAH, with progressively increasing mortality across the categories.

Abstract
BackgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 29 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for systemic sclerosis (SSc) in non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) regions (1-7). While these GWASs have clarified genetic architectures of SSc, study subjects were mainly Caucasians limiting application of the findings to Asians.ObjectivesThe study was conducted to identify novel causal variants for SSc specific to Japanese subjects as well as those shared with European population. We also aimed to clarify mechanistic effects of the variants on pathogenesis of SSc.MethodsA total of 114,108 subjects comprising 1,499 cases and 112,609 controls were enrolled in the two-staged study leading to the ever-largest Asian GWAS for SSc. After applying a strict quality control both for genotype and samples, imputation was conducted using the reference panel of the phase 3v5 1,000 genome project data combined with a high-depth whole-genome sequence data of 3,256 Japanese subjects. We conducted logistic regression analyses and also combined the Japanese GWAS results with those of Europeans (6) by an inverse-variance fixed-effect model. Polygenicity and enrichment of functional annotations were evaluated by linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), Haploreg and IMPACT programs. We also constructed polygenic risk score (PRS) to predict SSc development.ResultsWe identified three (FCRLA-FCGR, TNFAIP3, PLD4) and four (EOMES, ESR1, SLC12A5, TPI1P2) novel loci in Japanese GWAS and a trans-population meta-analysis, respectively. One of Japanese novel risk SNPs, rs6697139, located within FCGR gene clusters had a strong effect size (OR 2.05, P=4.9×10-11). We also found the complete LD variant, rs10917688, was positioned in cis-regulatory element and binding motif for an immunomodulatory transcription factor IRF8 in B cells, another genome-wide significant locus in our trans-ethnic meta-analysis and the previous European GWAS. Notably, the association of risk allele of rs10917688 was significant only in the presence of the risk allele of the IRF8. Intriguingly, rs10917688 was annotated as one enhancer-related histone marks, H3K4me1, in B cells, implying that FCGR gene(s) in B cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SSc. Furhtermore, significant heritability enrichment of active histone marks and a transcription factor C-Myc were found in B cells both in European and Japanese populations by LDSC and IMPACT, highlighting a possibility of a shared disease mechanism where abnormal B-cell activation may be one of the key drivers for the disease development. Finally, PRS using effects sizes of European GWAS moderately fit in the development of Japanese SSc (AUC 0.593), paving a path to personalized medicine for SSc.ConclusionOur study identified seven novel susceptibility loci in SSc. Downstream analyses highlighted a novel disease mechanism of SSc where an interactive role of FCGR gene(s) and IRF8 may accelerate the disease development and B cells may play a key role on the pathogenesis of SSc.References[1]F.

Abstract
BackgroundThe preferential Janus kinase-1 inhibitor FIL is approved for treatment of moderate to severe active RA in Europe and Japan.ObjectivesEfficacy and safety of FIL were assessed in pts with IR to MTX who completed a Phase 3 trial (NCT02889796)1 and enrolled in an LTE (NCT03025308).MethodsPts completing the PS1 on study drug were eligible to enter the LTE (data cutoff: June 1, 2020). Median exposure: 2.2 years (y). Efficacy data to W48 are reported for 4 treatment groups (all with background MTX): pts receiving FIL 200 mg (FIL200) or FIL 100 mg (FIL100) in the PS and continuing their dose in LTE (FIL200/FIL200, FIL100/FIL100) and ADA pts rerandomized, double blind, to FIL200 or FIL100 for LTE (ADA/FIL200, ADA/FIL100); safety data are reported.ResultsAs of June 1, 2020, 522/571 (91%) FIL200/FIL200, 502/570 (88%) FIL100/FIL100, 118/128 (92%) ADA/FIL200, and 115/130 (89%) ADA/FIL100 pts remained on study drug. LTE baseline disease characteristics were similar between groups: mean duration of RA approximately 8.7 y; DAS28(CRP) 2.55, and mean concurrent MTX dosage was 15.0 mg/week. Proportions of pts achieving ACR20/50/70, DAS28(CRP) ≤3.2, <2.6, and CDAI ≤10, ≤2.8 were generally maintained in all LTE groups through W48 (Figure 1). Numerically greater proportions of pts met response criteria at W48 in the FIL200 groups vs FIL100, regardless of PS treatment. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAE), serious AEs, and AEs Grade ≥3 were largely comparable between groups and lowest in ADA/FIL100. There were 10 deaths (Table 1). Exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs)/100 pt-y of exposure for deaths were lower for FIL/FIL vs ADA/FIL.Table 1.EAIRs of TEAEs in LTE, as of June 1, 20201TEAE, n (%)3FIL200+MTX → FIL200+MTX6ADA+MTX → FIL200+MTX9FIL100+MTX → FIL100+MTX12ADA+MTX → FIL100+MTX2EAIR (95% CI)4n=5717n=12810n=57013n=1305PYE=859.48PYE=197.811PYE=852.314PYE=192.6TEAE429 (75.1)91 (71.1)443 (77.7)88 (67.7)49.9 (45.4, 54.9)46.0 (37.5, 56.5)52.0 (47.4, 57.0)45.7 (37.1, 56.3)TEAE Grade ≥364 (11.2)15 (11.7)72 (12.6)7 (5.4)7.4 (5.8, 9.5)7.6 (4.6, 12.6)8.4 (6.7, 10.6)3.6 (1.7, 7.6)TE serious AE52 (9.1)13 (10.2)60 (10.5)9 (6.9)6.1 (4.6, 7.9)6.6 (3.8, 11.3)7.0 (5.5, 9.1)4.7 (2.4, 9.0)Death3 (0.5)2 (1.6)3 (0.5)2 (1.5)0.3 (0.1, 1.1)1.0 (0.3, 4.0)0.4 (0.1, 1.1)1.0 (0.3, 4.2)TE infections243 (42.6)52 (40.6)249 (43.7)43 (33.1)28.3 (24.9, 32.1)26.3 (20.0, 34.5)29.2 (25.8, 33.1)22.3 (16.6, 30.1)TE serious infections7 (1.2)2 (1.6)13 (2.3)1 (0.8)0.8 (0.4, 1.7)1.0 (0.3, 4.0)1.5 (0.9, 2.6)0.5 (0.1, 3.7)Opportunistic infections2 (0.4)02 (0.4)00.2 (0, 0.8)0 (0, 1.9)0.2 (0, 0.8)0 (0, 1.9)TE herpes zoster16 (2.8)5 (3.9)13 (2.3)1 (0.8)1.9 (1.1, 3.0)2.5 (1.1,6.1)1.5 (0.9, 2.6)0.5 (0.1, 3.7)TE MACE (adjudicated)1 (0.2)03 (0.5)3 (2.3)01 (0, 0.6)0 (0, 1.9)0.4 (0.1, 1.1)1.6 (0.5, 4.8)TE DVT/PE (adjudicated)3 (0.5)03 (0.5)00.3 (0.1, 1.0)0 (0, 1.9)0.4 (0.1, 1.0)0 (0, 1.9)Malignancies (excluding NMSC)5 (0.9)3 (2.3)4 (0.7)00.6 (0.2, 1.4)1.5 (0.5, 4.7)0.5 (0.1, 1.2)0 (0, 1.9)NMSC3 (0.5)02 (0.4)00.3 (0.1, 1.0)0 (0, 1.9)0.2 (0, 0.8)0 (0, 1.9)DVT, deep vein thrombosis; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular event; NMSC, nonmelanoma skin cancer; PE, pulmonary embolism; TE, treatment-emergentFigure 1.ConclusionDuring the LTE through W48, response rates generally were maintained for FIL/FIL and ADA/FIL pts.

Abstract
BackgroundIn some patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially those with joint damage early in the disease, first-line methotrexate (MTX) treatment may not suffice to prevent further rapid radiographic progression (RRP).1 In FINCH 1 (NCT02889796), filgotinib 200 mg (FIL200) and 100 mg (FIL100) reduced change in modified total Sharp score (mTSS) vs placebo (PBO) in pts with RA and inadequate response to MTX (MTX-IR).2 In FINCH 3 (NCT02886728), FIL200 and FIL100 reduced change in mTSS vs MTX monotherapy (MTX mono) in MTX-naïve pts.3ObjectivesTo evaluate, via post hoc analysis of 2 trials, filgotinib’s effects on radiographic progression vs MTX mono in pts with estimated baseline (BL) yearly progression ≥5 or <5 mTSS units/year.MethodsThe double-blind 52-week (W) FINCH 1 study randomised MTX-IR pts with moderate–severe active RA to FIL200 or FIL100, subcutaneous adalimumab (ADA) 40 mg, or PBO; at W24, PBO pts were rerandomised blinded to FIL200 or FIL100; all took stable background MTX.2 In FINCH 3, MTX-naïve pts were randomised, blinded, to FIL200 + MTX, FIL100 + MTX, FIL200 alone, or MTX mono for up to W52.3 This analysis examined subgroups by estimated BL yearly progression (BL mTSS/duration in years of RA diagnosis), based on ≥5 or <5 mTSS units/year,4 a threshold commonly used to define RRP. We assessed effects of filgotinib vs ADA or PBO in mTSS change from BL (CFB) at W24/W52 (using a mixed model for repeated measures) and percentages with no W24 progression (mTSS change ≤0, ≤0.5, ≤smallest detectable change [SDC], using Fisher’s exact test).ResultsAt BL, 558/1755 MTX-IR and 787/1249 MTX-naïve pts had BL estimated yearly progression ≥5. Median mTSS in pts with BL yearly progression ≥5 and <5 was 53.25 vs 5.00 respectively in the MTX-IR trial and 6.00 vs 2.50 in the MTX-naïve trial. At W24, the mTSS CFB in pts with BL yearly progression ≥5 and <5 was 0.84 and 0.22 in MTX-IR pts taking PBO + MTX, and 0.67 and 0.25 in MTX-naïve pts taking MTX mono. At W52, in pts with BL yearly progression ≥5, FIL200 + MTX reduced mTSS change vs PBO + MTX in the MTX-IR trial and vs MTX mono in the MTX-naïve trial (Figure 1). At W24, among pts with estimated BL yearly progression ≥5, FIL200 + MTX increased odds of no progression (≤0.5 or ≤0) vs PBO + MTX in MTX-IR pts and vs MTX mono in MTX-naïve pts (Table 1).Table 1.Ratio of no radiographic progression at W24FINCH 1: MTX-IRFIL200 + MTXFIL100 + MTXADA + MTXPBO + MTXBL yearly progression≥5(n = 138)<5(n = 267)≥5(n = 139)<5(n = 265)≥5(n = 91)<5(n = 180)≥5(n = 101)<5(n = 250)% with no progression (≤0.5)87.797.088.592.587.993.976.291.6OR2.22*2.97*2.40*1.12††††% with no progression (≤0)80.491.881.388.380.289.467.386.4OR2.00*1.752.11*1.19††††% with no progression (≤SDC [1.36])91.398.192.196.692.395.681.294.0OR2.43*3.35*2.70*1.82††††FINCH 3: MTX-naïveFIL200 + MTXFIL100 + MTXFIL200 monoMTXBL yearly progression≥5<5≥5<5≥5<5≥5<5(n = 221)(n = 134)(n = 121)(n = 63)(n = 115)(n = 58)(n = 224)(n = 132)% with no progression (≤0.5)86.994.083.593.789.689.778.687.9OR1.81*2.171.382.032.34*1.20††% with no progression (≤0)78.783.672.784.180.087.967.980.3OR1.75*1.251.261.31.89*1.79††% with no progression (≤SDC [1.53])93.797.891.796.895.796.689.395.5OR1.772.081.331.452.641.33††MTX-IR ORs are FIL vs PBO + MTX; MTX-naïve are FIL vs MTX. *Nominal P<.05. †Not applicable.ADA, adalimumab; FIL, filgotinib; IR, inadequate response; mTSS, modified total Sharp score; MTX, methotrexate; OR, odds ratio; SDC, smallest detectable change; W, week.ConclusionThese data suggest filgotinib’s inhibition of radiographic progression was numerically greater than MTX monotherapy in RA pts with high estimated BL yearly progression.

Abstract
BackgroundBimekizumab (BKZ) is a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits IL-17F in addition to IL-17A. BKZ has shown sustained efficacy and tolerability up to 152 wks in a phase 2b study in patients (pts) with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).1,2ObjectivesTo assess efficacy and safety of BKZ vs placebo (PBO) in pts with active PsA and prior inadequate tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) response in the 16-wk pivotal phase 3 study, BE COMPLETE.MethodsBE COMPLETE (NCT03896581) comprises a 16-wk double-blind, PBO-controlled period. Pts were aged ≥18 yrs, had a diagnosis of adult-onset, active PsA with ≥3 tender joints and ≥3 swollen joints, and inadequate response or intolerance to treatment with 1 or 2 TNFi. Pts were randomised 2:1 to BKZ 160 mg Q4W or PBO. From Wk 16, pts were eligible to enter an open-label extension, receiving BKZ 160 mg Q4W. The primary endpoint was a ≥50% improvement in American College of Rheumatology response criteria (ACR50) at Wk 16. Primary and ranked secondary efficacy endpoints were assessed at Wk 16.ResultsOf 400 randomised pts (BKZ: 267; PBO: 133), 388 (97.0%) completed Wk 16 (BKZ: 263 [98.5%]; PBO: 125 [94.0%]). Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups: mean age 50.5 yrs, weight 86.0 kg, BMI 29.8 kg/m2, time since diagnosis 9.5 yrs; 47.5% pts were male.At Wk 16, the primary endpoint (ACR50: 43.4% BKZ vs 6.8% PBO; p<0.001; Figure 1) and all ranked secondary endpoints (HAQ-DI CfB, PASI90, SF-36 PCS CfB and MDA response) were met (all p<0.001; Table 1). The ACR50 response was rapid with separation from PBO observed from Wk 4 (nominal p<0.001). Additional outcomes, including ACR20/70, TJC and SJC CfB, and PASI75/100, demonstrated numerical improvement with BKZ compared to PBO at Wk 16 (all nominal p<0.001; Table 1).Table 1.Disease characteristics at baseline and efficacy at Wk 16PBO N=133BKZ 160 mg Q4W N=267p valueBaseline characteristicsTJCmean (SD)19.3 (14.2)18.4 (13.5)-SJCmean (SD)10.3 (8.2)9.7 (7.5)-PtGA-PsAmean (SD)63.0 (22.0)60.5 (22.5)-PtAAPmean (SD)61.7 (24.6)58.3 (24.2)-Psoriasis BSAn (%)<3%45 (33.8)91 (34.1)-≥3 to ≤10%63 (47.4)109 (40.8)->10%25 (18.8)67 (25.1)-PASIamean (SD)8.5 (6.6)b10.1 (9.1)c-Prior TNFin (%)Inadequate response to 1 TNFi103 (77.4)204 (76.4)-Inadequate response to 2 TNFi15 (11.3)29 (10.9)-Intolerance to TNFi15 (11.3)34 (12.7)-Current cDMARDsn (%)63 (47.4)139 (52.1)-Ranked endpoints in hierarchical orderACR50* [NRI] n (%)9 (6.8)116 (43.4)<0.001HAQ-DI CfB† [RBMI] mean (SE)–0.1 (0.0)–0.4 (0.0)<0.001PASI90†a [NRI]n (%)6 (6.8)b121 (68.8)c<0.001SF-36 PCS CfB† [RBMI]mean (SE)1.4 (0.7)7.3 (0.5)<0.001MDA Response† [NRI]n (%)8 (6.0)118 (44.2)<0.001Other endpointsACR20† [NRI]n (%)21 (15.8)179 (67.0)<0.001‡ACR70† [NRI] n (%)1 (0.8)71 (26.6)<0.001‡TJC CfB [MI] mean (SE)–2.4 (0.9)–10.9 (0.8)<0.001‡SJC CfB [MI] mean (SE)–2.0 (0.5)–7.0 (0.4)<0.001‡PASI75a [NRI]n (%)9 (10.2)b145 (82.4)c<0.001‡PASI100a [NRI]n (%)4 (4.5)b103 (58.5)c<0.001‡Randomised set (N=400). *Primary endpoint; †Secondary endpoint; ‡Nominal p value. aIn patients with ≥3% BSA with PSO at BL; bn=88; cn=176.Over 16 wks, 107/267 (40.1%) pts on BKZ had ≥1 TEAE vs 44/132 (33.3%) pts on PBO; the three most frequent TEAEs on BKZ were nasopharyngitis (BKZ: 3.7%; PBO: 0.8%), oral candidiasis (BKZ: 2.6%; PBO: 0%) and upper respiratory tract infection (BKZ: 2.2%; PBO: 1.5%). Incidence of SAEs was low (BKZ: 1.9%; PBO: 0%); none led to discontinuation. 2 pts on BKZ discontinued due to a TEAE (BKZ: 0.7%; PBO: 0%). No systemic candidiasis, cases of IBD, MACE, uveitis, VTE or deaths were reported.ConclusionDual inhibition of IL-17A and IL-17F with BKZ in pts with active PsA and prior inadequate TNFi response resulted in rapid, clinically relevant and statistically significant improvements in efficacy outcomes vs PBO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loss-of-function homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in IL36RN, which encodes interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra), has been implicated in the pathogenesis of skin disorders. However, the pathogenic role of IL-36Ra in cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unclear. OBJECTIVES We investigated the role of IL36Ra in cutaneous I/R injury. METHODS We examined I/R injury in Il36rn-/- mice. The area of wounds, numbers of infiltrated cells, apoptotic cells and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation were assessed. The expression levels of various genes were analysed using real-time RT-PCR. The expression of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), an endogenous toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 ligand, was confirmed using immunohistology, and serum HMGB1 levels were measured by ELISA. Cytokine production by stimulated cultured J774A.1 and HaCaT cells was examined. RESULTS IL-36Ra deficiency resulted in significantly delayed wound healing and increased neutrophil and macrophage infiltration into the wound tissues. Il36rn-/- mice had increased mRNA expression levels of CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL4, TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-36γ relative to wild-type mice. Apoptosis was identified in keratinocytes by TUNEL assay. HMGB1 expression in the I/R site was decreased in both keratinocytes and adnexal cells, while serum HMGB1 levels were significantly elevated after reperfusion. The mRNA levels of various cytokines, including IL-1β, were elevated in J774A.1 cells through TLR4 signalling by HMGB1 stimulation. In addition, HaCaT cells stimulated with IL-1β showed significantly increased CXCL1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-36β and IL-36γ mRNA expression. Furthermore, NET formation was increased by IL-36Ra deficiency. Finally, either the blockade of TLR4 signalling by TAK-242 or inhibition of NET formation by Cl-amidine normalized exacerbated I/R injury in Il36rn-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that IL-36Ra deficiency exacerbates cutaneous I/R injury due to excessive inflammatory cell recruitment, NET formation, and excessive cytokine and chemokine production via the TLR4 pathway by HMGB1 released from epidermal apoptotic cells.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
On March 11th, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake hit the Tohoku area, and more than 15,000 people lost their lives by the tsunami and earthquake. People who survived natural disasters, terrors, or serious diseases reported long-time psychological distress such as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) or depression. This study aims to elaborate on factors associated with PTSD post the Great East Japan Earthquake after four years.
Methods
Quantitative and qualitative analysis from a questionnaire survey conducted after four years of the earthquake in 2015. The questionnaires included participants' attributes, IES-R scale to evaluate PTSD, loss of their families by tsunami and earthquake, their own tsunami experience, many relocations after the earthquake, lost job after the earthquake. The open-ended question asked them to write about their challenges in their lives and others.
Results
We received 3465 responses. Among those who responded, the IES-R scale was significantly larger in women (n = 1397) (aOR=1.55, p = 0.001) than men (n = 1966). Higher in those with more their own tsunami experience (aOR=1.35, p = 0.014), in those with lost loved ones (aOR=2.1, p < 0.01), and in those with more economic difficulties (aOR=1.6, p < 0.001). In addition, those with less social connectedness (aOR=1.34, p = 0.017) and forced to live separately with family members after the earthquake(aOR=1.36, p = 0.014) were significantly higher in the scale. From a quality analysis, we observed much psychological distress from participants.
Discussion and Conclusions
In this study, more than half in the PTSD risk group reported that they had never cared for mental pain after the earth quake. We overlook PTSD frequently. However, long-range monitoring and care are necessary for those affected by a significant disaster.
Key messages
PTSD after disasters have been overlooked frequently. A long-range monitoring and care are necessary after a significant disaster.

Abstract
Background the world is facing a novel coronavirus pandemic, and the role of vaccination and vaccination acceptance is playing an important role under current vaccination deployment. Japan's vaccination system has progressed these days greatly; however, the non-mandatory vaccination rate for children such as mumps, influenza is still low due to mothers' hesitancy. Given this circumstance, we conducted a qualitative analysis using text analysis methods for Japanese mothers with children about their hesitancy to vaccinate their children in Japan. Methods We used the data of a questionnaire survey first conducted in 2012, where two hundred and twenty-six mothers participated with an average age of 44.7 years (SD ± 5.02). The questionnaire included open-ended questions, where mothers wrote their opinion freely about vaccination about their children. We conducted text analysis focusing on the keywords of ‘hesitancy' (IBM SPSS Text Analytics for Surveys 4.0). Results The keywords that extracted frequently included; vaccination (n = 160), hesitancy (n = 66), difficulty in access to vaccination (n = 57), knowledge/information scarcity (n = 31), fear for side effect (n = 30), complexity of vaccination schedule (n = 23) and government subsidies (n = 20). The most related keyword with hesitancy was; side effect (n = 20), expensive cost (n = 12), and non-mandatory (n = 10). A keyword of having natural immunity was also closely connected (n = 8). Discussion and Conclusions To ameliorate hesitancy among mothers against vaccination of their children, local government notification and subsidy as mandatory vaccination, providing the correct information about diseases and side effects of vaccinations would work as plus factors. Key messages For pandemic preparedness, it is necessary to research vaccine acceptance among children. This research is to explore vaccine hesitancy among mothers and factors related to their unwillingness.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Accumulating evidence suggests that high uric acid is strongly associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome and drives the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance. Although urate transporter-1 (URAT1), which is primarily expressed in the kidney, plays a critical role in the development of hyperuricemia, its pathophysiological implication in NAFLD and insulin resistance remains unclear.
Objectives
We hypothesizes that URAT1 plays an important role in obesity-induced metabolic disorders, and URAT1-selective inhibitor treatment ameliorates systemic insulin resistance, NAFLD and adipose tissue dysfunction using diet-induced obese mice.
Methods
Mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 16 to 18 weeks or a normal-fat diet (NFD) were treated with or without a novel oral URAT1-selective inhibitor (dotinurad [50 mg/kg/day]) for another 4 weeks.
Results
Dotinurad administration significantly ameliorated HFD-induced obesity and insulin resistance. We found that URAT1 was also expressed in the liver and brown adipose tissue (BAT) other than kidney. HFD markedly induced NAFLD, which was characterized by severe hepatic steatosis, as well as the elevation of serum ALT activity and tissue inflammatory cytokine genes (Ccl2 and TNFα), all of which were attenuated by dotinurad. Likewise, HFD significantly increased URAT1 expression in BAT, resulting in the lipid accumulation (whitening of BAT) and increased production of tissue reactive oxygen species, which were reduced by dotinurad via UCP1 activation.
Conclusions
A novel URAT1-selective inhibitor, dotinurad, ameliorates insulin resistance by attenuating hepatic steatosis and promoting rebrowning of lipid-rich BAT in HFD-induced obese mice. URAT1 serves as a key regulator of the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome, and may be a new therapeutic target for insulin-resistant individuals, particularly those with concomitant NAFLD.

Abstract
Background Oral mucositis (OM) is an unpleasant adverse event in patients receiving chemotherapy. A prospective feasibility study showed that elemental diet (ED), an oral supplement that does not require digestion, may prevent OM. Based on this, we established a central review system for oral cavity assessment by dental oncology specialists blinded to background data. We used this system to elucidate the preventive effect of an ED against OM in patients with esophageal cancer receiving docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF) therapy. Patients and methods In this phase III, multicenter, parallel-group, controlled trial, patients consuming a normal diet orally were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to receive two cycles of DCF with (group A) or without (group B) an ED (Elental® 160 g/day). We assessed the incidence of grade ≥2 OM evaluated by two reviewers, changes in body weight, prealbumin, C-reactive protein, and DCF completion rate based on ED compliance. Results Of the 117 patients randomly assigned to treatment, four failed to start treatment and were excluded from the primary analysis; thus, groups A and B comprised 55 and 58 patients, respectively. There were no significant differences in background characteristics. Grade ≥2 OM was observed in eight (15%) and 20 (34%) patients in groups A and B, respectively (P = 0.0141). Changes in body weight and prealbumin during the two DCF cycles were significantly higher in group A than B (P = 0.0022 and 0.0203, respectively). During the first cycle, changes in C-reactive protein were significantly lower in group A than B (P = 0.0338). In group A (receiving ED), the DCF completion rate was 100% in patients with 100% ED compliance and 70% in patients failing ED completion (P = 0.0046). Conclusions The study findings demonstrate that an ED can prevent OM in patients with esophageal cancer receiving chemotherapy. Patients receiving docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF) chemotherapy commonly develop oral mucositis (OM). An elemental diet (ED) was able to prevent OM in patients with esophageal cancer receiving DCF. Grade ≥2 OM was observed in 15% of patients receiving the ED versus 34% of those not receiving the ED (P = 0.0141). Body weight was maintained in the ED group, and hematologic toxicities were lower, compared with the non-ED group. The DCF completion rate significantly correlated with ED compliance (P = 0.0046).

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Can increased luteinizing hormone impair follicular development and oocyte quality in patients with ovarian dysfunction?
Summary answer
Increased luteinizing hormone attenuates follicular development and oocyte quality, resulting in arrest of follicle growth and empty follicles and low-quality embryos.
What is known already
Patients with ovarian dysfunction exhibit elevated gonadotropins and low estrogen levels reflecting their low ovarian reserve. For ovarian stimulation in these patients, natural or mild stimulation protocols are likely used, but we often experienced the arrest of follicle growth and empty follicles at oocyte retrieval. Animal studies demonstrated that chronic high LH exposure impaired the growth of antral follicles by suppressing the expression of FSHR in granulosa cells via a modulation of intraovarian regulators, including the LH-induced thecal factors. Study design, size, duration: Retrospective analysis was conducted in 72 patients with ovarian dysfunction who received ovarian stimulations followed by IVF-ET from April 2018 to March 2020 after obtaining written informed consents under an approval from the ethical committee of our hospital.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The data of hormonal levels, transvaginal ultrasound during ovarian stimulation and clinical outcome of IVF were extracted from electric chart. For evaluation of embryo, high quality embryos referred to embryos having Veeck classification >grade 3 and >4 blastomeres. Statistical significance was determined using Dunnett or chi-square tests, with P < 0.05 being statistically significant.
Main results and the role of chance
The median age of participants was 42 years of age (range 26–49) with low serum AMH levels (median 0.9 ng/ml, range 0–1.83). We analyzed 361 cycles of ovarian stimulation in total (median 4 cycles/patient, range 1–21). These stimulation cycles were classified into 3 groups; group A (n = 230): normal LH level, group B (n = 93): elevated LH level (> 10 mIU/ml) after ovarian stimulation and group C (n = 33): elevated LH level from the initiation of ovarian stimulation. Among 361 cycles, the arrest of follicle growth was detected in 5 cycles (group A: 0%, group B: 60%, group C: 40%). The proportions of empty follicle in group A, B and C were 17.3±2.0%, 20.9±3.3%and 38.6±7.2%, respectively. The rate of empty follicle was significantly high in group C. Although there was no significant difference in the rates of oocyte degeneration and fertilization, the rate of high-quality embryos in group C was 0.8-fold lower than that of group A.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Due to limitation of participants, we could not determine the appropriate LH level for ovarian stimulation in patients with ovarian dysfunction based on receiver operatorating characteristic curve.
Wider implications of the findings: Normalization of LH levels for ovarian simulation in patients with ovarian dysfunction could improve follicle development and oocyte quality.

Abstract
Background:Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) is a pooled index of 3 patient-reported measures: patient global assessment, pain, and physical function. RAPID3 was shown to correlate with other composite measures of disease activity1 and is recommended by the American College of Rheumatology for use in clinical practice.2Objectives:To evaluate the impact of upadacitinib (UPA) versus comparators on RAPID3 over 60 weeks, as well as the correlation of RAPID3 scores with other disease measures in the UPA phase 3 SELECT clinical program.Methods:This post hoc analysis included placebo-controlled (SELECT-NEXT, -BEYOND, and -COMPARE) and active comparator-controlled (SELECT-EARLY, -MONOTHERAPY, and -COMPARE) trials. Patients received UPA as monotherapy or in combination with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs). Mean change from baseline in RAPID3 and the proportion of patients reporting RAPID3 remission (≤3), low (LDA, >3 to ≤6), moderate (MDA, >6 to ≤12), and high disease activity (HDA, >12) were assessed. Correlations between absolute scores for RAPID3 and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI), and 28-joint Disease Activity Score with C-reactive protein (DAS28[CRP]) were assessed using Spearman correlation coefficients. All data are as observed.Results:A total of 661, 498, 648, 1629, and 945 patients were included from SELECT-NEXT, -BEYOND, -MONOTHERAPY, -COMPARE, and -EARLY. At baseline, the majority of patients across all studies were in RAPID3 HDA (mean baseline RAPID3 [across all studies], 17.2–19.2) (Table 1 and Figure 1). Improvements from baseline in RAPID3 were observed with UPA 15 mg and 30 mg through Week 60, with numerically greater improvements observed with UPA compared with active comparators (Table 1). Across studies, mean improvements in RAPID3 exceeded the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) with UPA and adalimumab (ADA) treatment (MCID=3.83). By Week 60, approximately one-half of UPA-treated patients were in RAPID3 remission or LDA, with only 10–25% remaining in HDA, except for the more refractory population in SELECT-BEYOND, in which ~38% of patients remained in HDA (Figure 1). RAPID3 scores moderately to strongly correlated with CDAI (ρ=0.69–0.83), SDAI (ρ=0.69–0.82), and DAS28(CRP) (ρ=0.58–0.77), across all studies, at Week 60 (all p<0.001).Conclusion:UPA, as monotherapy or in combination with csDMARDs, was associated with improvements in patient-reported disease activity, pain, and physical function, as assessed by RAPID3 over 60 weeks in the phase 3 SELECT clinical program. RAPID3 continues to be an important tool in clinical practice to assess disease activity, as it was shown to correlate to other disease activity measures and allows for rapid scoring.References:[1]Pincus T, et al.

Abstract
Background:The type I interferon (IFN) receptor antibody anifrolumab has shown efficacy in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the phase 3 TULIP-1 and TULIP-2 trials.1,2 Type I IFN dysregulation is associated with lupus nephritis (LN) pathogenesis.3Objectives:Pooled TULIP data were analyzed post hoc to assess baseline characteristics of patients with and without renal involvement and to evaluate the effects of anifrolumab on renal disease.Methods:TULIP-1 (NCT02446912) and TULIP-2 (NCT02446899) were randomized, placebo-controlled, 52-week trials of intravenous anifrolumab every 4 weeks in patients with moderate to severe SLE despite standard therapy, which excluded patients with severe active LN.1,2 Renal involvement at baseline was defined as any of the following: BILAG-2004 renal score A–C; SLEDAI-2K renal score >0; urine protein–creatinine ratio (UPCR) >0.5 mg/mg. Baseline characteristics were evaluated in patients with and without renal involvement, and the following endpoints were compared for the anifrolumab 300 mg and placebo groups: cumulative UPCR (area under the curve, AUC) through Week (W)52; percentage of patients with UPCR >0.5 mg/mg at baseline who improved to UPCR ≤0.5 mg/mg at W52; percentage of patients with renal flares (new BILAG-2004 A/B renal score vs prior visit); cumulative glucocorticoid (GC) use (AUC) through W52; and percentage changes in complement C3/C4 from baseline to W52.Results:Of the 726 patients in TULIP-1/-2 (anifrolumab, n=360; placebo, n=366), 99 had renal involvement at baseline (anifrolumab, n=45; placebo, n=54), 57 of whom had UPCR >0.5 mg/mg (anifrolumab, n=24; placebo, n=33). Patients with renal involvement vs without renal involvement had a lower mean age (37.8 vs 42.4 years) and were more likely to be male (14.1% vs 6.1%), Asian (16.2% vs 9.6%), IFN gene signature test–high (89.9% vs 81.5%), and anti-dsDNA positive (69.7% vs 40.4%); have a SLEDAI-2K score ≥10 (91.9% vs 68.4%); and be receiving GC ≥10 mg/day (67.7% vs 49.1%) or mycophenolate (26.3% vs 11.5%) at baseline. Among patients with baseline renal involvement, anifrolumab treatment was associated with a numerically greater improvement vs placebo in cumulative UPCR (AUC) through W52 (LS mean difference [SE]: –54.1 [54.26]) (Table 1). Numerically more patients improved from UPCR >0.5 mg/mg at baseline to ≤0.5 mg/mg at W52 with anifrolumab vs placebo (difference [SE], 4.9% [13.3]). Among all TULIP patients, fewer had ≥1 BILAG-2004 renal flare with anifrolumab vs placebo (5.0% vs 7.4%).4 Among patients with renal involvement, cumulative GC use (AUC) through W52 was lower with anifrolumab vs placebo (LS mean difference [SE]: –210.3 mg [332.6]) and there were numerically greater improvements in C3 and C4 from baseline to W52 (Table 1).Conclusion:TULIP data suggest renal benefit with anifrolumab in patients with SLE with mild/stable renal disease, supporting further investigation into anifrolumab’s efficacy in patients with active LN.References:[1]Furie R.

Abstract
Background:Digital ulcers (DUs) affect half of the patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and can be complicated by gangrene and amputation. The direct involvement of platelets in the development of DUs has been suggested by in vitro studies, which encouraged physicians to consider platelet inhibitors as a therapeutic option in the management of DUs. However, until now, there is no clinical study to assess the efficacy of platelet inhibitors for DUs in SSc patients.Objectives:To demonstrate a possible relationship between treatment with platelet inhibitors and the occurrence of DUs at the next follow-up visit in patients with SSc.Methods:This study used prospectively collected data from the European Scleroderma Trials and Research group (EUSTAR) registry. Patients fulfilling the 2013 ACR/EULAR SSc classification criteria with complete longitudinal data on the presence of DUs and platelet inhibitors were included in the analysis. Multiple imputation using a random forest algorithm was implemented to handle missing values.The dataset was split into a derivation and validation cohort. To investigate the response for the binary dependent variable of DUs, a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) was developed in the derivation cohort and validated using ROC analysis and Brier scores to address discrimination and calibration, respectively.Results:Of 3,463 patients (2,961 in the derivation cohort, 722 in the validation cohort), 453 had current DUs at the baseline and 245 were exposed to platelet inhibitors (table 1).Our GLMM revealed that the exposure to platelet inhibitors is associated with a reduced risk of DUs at the next follow up visit (OR = 0.33, 95% CI = [0.13 to 0.82]). Further factors associated with absence or presence of DUs at the next follow-up visit are shown in figure 1. This confirmed the previously identified risk factors for the presence of DUs, supporting the overall robustness and the validity of our model.The performance was evaluated by ROC curve analysis and showed an AUC = 97.97% (95% CI = [96.93% to 97.67%]) for the derivation cohort and AUC = 77.3% (95% CI = [74.01% to 81.39%]) for the validation cohort, respectively, showing an acceptable discrimination. The Brier score was 0.05 in the derivation cohort and 0.07 in the validation cohort, suggesting a good calibration of the model.Conclusion:Our model, with acceptable discrimination and good calibration, suggests a positive treatment effect of platelet inhibitors on DUs in clinical practice.Table 1.Baseline characteristics of patients before imputationCharacteristicsOverallDerivation setValidation setn3,4632,691772Age (median [IQR])56.00 [47.00, 66.00]56.00 [47.00, 65.00] 57.00 [48.00, 67.00]Disease duration (median [IQR]) 9.00 [4.00, 16.00] 9.00 [4.00, 16.00] 8.00 [4.00, 15.00]Disease subset = Limited cutaneous SSc (%) 1562 (65.2) 1164 (64.6) 398 (66.9)DUs (%): Current 453 (13.1) 378 (14.0) 75 (9.7)DUs (%): Never 1783 (51.5) 1326 (49.3) 457 (59.2)DUs (%): Previously 1227 (35.4) 987 (36.7) 240 (31.1)mRSS (median [IQR]) 5.00 [2.00, 11.00] 6.00 [2.00, 12.00] 4.00 [1.00, 11.00]Joint Contractures = Yes (%) 881 (26.8) 770 (29.4) 111 (16.5)LVEF (median [IQR])62.00 [60.00, 65.00]60.00 [60.00, 65.00] 65.00 [60.00, 67.00]Dyspnea NYHA III and IV (%)300 (9.5)214 (8.6)86 (12.7)Pulmonary hypertension = Yes (%) 244 (10.7) 200 (11.3) 44 (8.4)Lung fibrosis on HRCT = Yes (%) 685 (46.6) 600 (47.7) 85 (39.7)FVC % predicted (median [IQR])97.00 [82.00, 111.00]95.00 [81.00, 110.00]101.00 [85.00, 115.00]Serum creatinine mg/dl (median [IQR]) 0.70 [0.60, 0.90] 0.70 [0.60, 0.90] 0.70 [0.70, 0.90]Anti-Scl-70 positive = Yes (%) 1147 (33.1) 958 (35.6) 189 (24.5)CRP elevation = Yes (%) 639 (21.1) 490 (20.8) 149 (22.1)Platelet inhibitors therapy = Yes (%) 245 (7.1) 206 (7.7) 39 (5.1)Oral anti-coagulants therapy = Yes (%) 53 (1.5) 50 (1.9) 3 (0.4)Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Background:Eligible subjects with moderate-to-severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who completed a phase 3 double-blind comparative efficacy and safety study (Study No. YLB113-002; Yamanaka et al, 2019) of 50 mg etanercept biosimilar (YLB113) or etanercept reference product (RP) by subcutaneous administration with concomitant MTX treatment for 52 weeks, were enrolled in this open label extension (OLE) study (Study No. YLB113-003) to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of YLB113 through to 3 years.Objectives:This OLE study aimed to evaluate the long-term safety of YLB113 administration in subjects with RA who received RP or YLB113 in a phase 3 active comparator study. The main parameters assessed were safety and tolerability in terms of adverse events (AEs) and injection site reactions (ISRs), incidence of immunogenicity and efficacy as DAS28 improvement (disease activity score in 28 joints).Methods:Subjects received 50 mg of YLB113 subcutaneously once every 1 to 2 weeks. Safety was assessed by AEs after study drug administration, ISRs, physical examination findings, and immunogenicity. Efficacy (DAS28 score) was assessed at the time of transition to the OLE study (Week 0), and at weeks 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and at the end of the study.Results:201 (Full analysis set [FAS]) subjects received the study drug and 184 subjects completed the study (91.5% completion rate). The average drug exposure in 94 subjects who continued to receive YLB113 and completed the study (94.0% completion rate) and 90 subjects who switched from RP to YLB113 and completed the study (89.1% completion rate) was 103 weeks providing the long-term drug exposure data of YLB113.The CTCAE Grade of TEAEs and ADRs observed were Grade 2 or less in severity (with no Grade ≥3). The overall incidence of ISRs was 10.0% (20/201 subjects) 77 events. All the ISRs reported were Grade 1 except for one Grade 2.An overview of the AEs experienced by the subjects is summarized in the Table 1.Table 1.Overview of Adverse events in OLE studyFASn (%)Number of eventsNumber of subjects201-Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)188(93.5)975Adverse drug reactions (ADRs)82(40.8)221Serious adverse events (SAEs)21(10.4)27Serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs)7(3.5)7AEs leading to premature study discontinuation4(2.0)6ADRs leading to premature study discontinuation3(1.5)4SAEs leading to premature study discontinuation3(1.5)4SADRs leading to premature study discontinuation2(1.0)2n - number of subjects with at least 1 AE in the categoryThe mean DAS28 (mean ± S.D.) of 2.22 ± 0.95 at the study transition was 2.10 ± 0.91 at Week 72 and 2.06 ± 0.89 at the end of the study. It was confirmed that DAS28 slightly decreased with time after the study transition and continued until the end of the study. The average DAS28 value remained low even with long-term administration of YLB113, suggesting that the effects of the study drug was sustained (Figure 1).Figure 1.DAS28 over time with YLB113 N: Number of subjects. * The administration period at the study completion differs for each subject, because the study transition time differs for each subject.cts who tested positive for anti-drug antibodies (ADA) at least once in the OLE study were 1.0% (2/200 subjects). All ADA were transient and disappeared at study completion. Such transient ADA formation was reported in the phase 3 study as well. In the phase 3 study, ADA formation was more frequent in subjects who received RP at 24 weeks, but all subjects were negative in the OLE study after switching. Therefore, switching did not affect immunogenicity.Conclusion:The safety, efficacy and immunogenicity profile of YLB113 was maintained over the long-term through to 3 years. Switching from RP to YLB113 did not impact safety or immunogenicity.References:[1]Yamanaka H, Kamatani N, Tanaka Y, et al.

Abstract
Background:Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is characterized by cranial symptoms and large-vessel lesions (LVL) in the aorta or its branches. We retrospectively analyzed the Japanese patients newly diagnosed as GCA between 2007 and 2014, and subsequently treated with glucocorticoid (GC). The imaging studies revealed that LVLs were observed in approximately half of the GCA patients, and the LVLs were significantly associated with the increased probability of poor treatment outcomes (1).Objectives:The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the distribution of LVLs of GCA was associated with poor treatment response.Methods:In a retrospective, multi-centric, nationwide registry of GCA patients treated with GCs between 2007 and 2014, 68 newly-diagnosed GCA with LVLs by imaging were detected. All investigators were members of Japan Research Committee of the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare for Intractable Vasculitis (JPVAS). Poor treatment outcomes (non-achievement of clinical remission by week 24 or relapse during 104 weeks) were primarily evaluated. Cumulative rates and median time to the first event were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. Associated factors with the outcomes were analyzed by using the Cox proportional hazard model.Results:The mean age was 70.5 years, and 70.6% were women. Twenty-seven (39.7%) of the 68 patients were diagnosed as having GCA by both positive temporal artery biopsy and positive imaging, and 41 (60.3%) by positive imaging. Aortic lesions were detected in 72.1% (group 2, n=49) of the 68 GCA patients with LVLs. Patients without aortic lesions were categorized into two phenotypes: large-vessel GCA with subclavian lesions (group 1, n=9) and atypical large-vessel GCA without subclavian lesions (group 3, n=10). Cranial lesions were observed in 66.7%, 55.1%, and 80.0% in the group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The initial mean dose (SD) of prednisolone was 0.74 (0.26) mg/kg/day, and 20.6 % received methotrexate for remission induction therapy. Baseline dose of GCs and mean time to achievement of low-dose GCs (prednisolone ≤ 5 mg/day) was not significantly different among the three groups.Overall, 35 (51.5%) of the 68 patients had the event of poor treatment outcomes. Eleven patients were not able to achieve clinical remission by week 24. Relapse after achievement of clinical remission was reported in total of 24 patients; 9 between week 0 and 24, 12 between week 24 and 52, 3 between week 52 and 104. The cumulative rate of events of poor treatment outcomes over the two years was 11.1% in patients with group 1, 55.3% in those with group 2, and 88.0% in those with group 3. Mean time to events was significantly different among the three groups. Multivariable analysis showed the risk of poor treatment outcomes was likely to decrease in the group 1 (hazard ratio 0.14 [95% CI 0.02-1.03], p=0.054), while it increased in the group 3 (hazard ratio 2.22 [95% CI 1.06-4.68], p=0.035).Conclusion:The distribution of LVLs were associated with poorer treatment outcomes. A half of the patients with aortic lesions had poor treatment outcomes while subclavian arteritis without aortic lesions had better clinical outcomes. Atypical large vessel-GCA without the aortic and subclavian artery involvement was the worst prognostic phenotype of LV-GCA. Extent of LVLs by imaging should be considered when determining the treatment strategy for GCA.References:[1]Sugihara T, et al.

POS0087 LONG-TERM SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF UPADACITINIB OR ADALIMUMAB IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: RESULTS AT 3 YEARS FROM THE SELECT-COMPARE STUDY. Ann Rheum Dis 2021.

Abstract
Background:In the SELECT-COMPARE study, the Janus kinase inhibitor, upadacitinib (UPA), demonstrated significant improvements in the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) when administered at 15 mg once daily (QD) on background methotrexate (MTX) compared with adalimumab (ADA) plus MTX at Week 12 that were maintained through 72 weeks in patients with prior inadequate response to MTX.1Objectives:To assess the long-term safety and efficacy of UPA vs ADA over 3 years in the ongoing long-term extension (LTE).Methods:Patients receiving background MTX were randomized 2:2:1 to UPA 15 mg QD, placebo (PBO), or ADA 40 mg every other week. Between Weeks 14-26, rescue was mandated for either lack of response (<20% improvement in tender or swollen joint counts: Weeks 14, 18, 22) or failure to achieve a targeted disease outcome (CDAI low disease activity: Week 26). Patients who completed the 48-week double-blind period could enter an LTE for up to 10 years total. This analysis describes patients through 3 years of treatment. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) per 100 patient years (PY), including events of special interest (AESI), were summarized up to 3 years based on exposure to UPA and to ADA. Efficacy was analyzed by original randomized groups. Patients who were rescued or prematurely discontinued study drug were categorized as non-responders for visits after rescue or discontinuation. Descriptive analyses were performed without formal statistical comparisons.Results:In total, 651, 651, and 327 patients were randomized at baseline to receive UPA, PBO, and ADA, respectively. Between Weeks 14-26, 252 (39%) patients were rescued from UPA to ADA, 159 (49%) were rescued from ADA to UPA, and all PBO patients were switched to UPA by Week 26.1 A higher proportion of patients randomized to UPA completed 3 years without rescue compared to those randomized to ADA (47% vs 36%, respectively). UPA was generally well-tolerated as assessed by the rates of TEAEs, including serious AEs, AEs leading to discontinuation of study drug, and AESIs, including serious and opportunistic infections, malignancies, adjudicated major adverse cardiac events or venous thromboembolism; Figure 1). Consistent with previous analyses, the event rates of AESIs were generally comparable between the UPA and ADA groups, while herpes zoster, lymphopenia, hepatic disorder, and CPK elevation were reported at higher rates with UPA. Consistent with earlier time points, greater proportions of patients randomized to UPA achieved low disease activity and remission at 3 years based on CDAI, as well as DAS28(CRP) ≤3.2 or <2.6, compared with patients randomized to ADA (Table 1).Conclusion:The safety profile of UPA was consistent with the results reported previously and with the integrated Phase 3 safety analysis.1,2 Higher levels of clinical response continued to be observed with UPA vs ADA through 3 years of treatment.References:[1]Fleischmann R, et al.

Abstract
Background:The goal of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is to achieve remission. There is the patient with residual symptoms in the Japanese RA patient who achieved clinical remission. There are not many studies to examine the relation between everyday life, social activity and evaluation of disease activities using high-sensitivity image examinations (musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) and MRI).Objectives:To examine the relationship between subjective residual symptoms and imaging examinations in RA patients who have achieved clinical remission.Methods:30 RA patients who achieved SDAI remission during RA treatment. Age, sex, disease duration, physical findings, serological markers, disease activity, HAQ, EQ-5D-5L, FACIT-F, Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs), EGA and medications were evaluated. 44 joints were assessed by MSKUS with gray scale (GS) and power doppler (PD) and contrast-enhanced bilateral joint MRI scoring with OMERACT-RAMRIS scoring.Results:1. The mean SDAI of the 30 RA patients was 1.3. 2.In the analysis of the presence or absence of subjective residual symptoms that led to remission of SDAI (Table 1).Table 1.Subjective residual symptoms/presence (N=17)Subjective residual symptoms/absence (N=13)Univariate analysisp valueMultivariate logistic analysisp valueTJC0.0±0.00.3±0.50.0173HAQ0.4±0.40.05±0.10.00950.00181EQ5D-5L0.8±0.10.9±0.00.0001FACIT-F14.5±9.84.6±4.30.0233Morning stiffness (min)256.5±564.80.0±0.00.0210Pain (VAS) (mm)9.2±9.50.9±1.50.00440.0455PGA (mm)7.7±9.00.5±1.10.0013(1). In the univariate analysis, the number of tender joints, HAQ, EQ-5D-5L, FACIT-F, morning stiffness, and pain VAS were extracted with significant differences.(2). In multivariate logistic analysis, HAQ and pain VAS were extracted as independent factors with significant differences. 3.In univariate analysis of the association between HAQ and pain VAS extracted in multivariate logistic analysis and imaging examinations (MSKUS/MRI), MRI-synovitis was extracted with a significant difference in HAQ.Conclusion:1. It was suggested that Pain VAS and HAQ due to RA could be identified in patients reaching SDAI remission. 2. In patients reaching SDAI remission, Pain VAS ≤10 or HAQ ≤0.5 suggested that subjective residual symptoms may be eliminated. 3. HAQ ≤ 0.5 suggests that synovitis is less likely to be detected on MRI. 4. In patients who have reached SDAI remission, little residual inflammation was observed on US, suggesting that induction of remission is important not only to prevent joint destruction, but also to improve and maintain long-term QoL.Disclosure of Interests:MASAO NAWATA Grant/research support from: I have received research funding from Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Kazuki Someya: None declared, Takafumi Aritomi: None declared, Masashi funada: None declared, Katsumi Nakamura: None declared, SAITO KAZUYOSHI Grant/research support from: I have received research funding from Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Yoshiya Tanaka Speakers bureau: I have received speaking fees from Abbvie, Daiichi-Sankyo, Chugai, Takeda, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Bristol-Myers, Astellas, Eisai, Janssen, Pfizer, Asahi-kasei, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, UCB, Teijin, MSD, and Santen, Consultant of: I have received consulting fees from Abbvie, Daiichi-Sankyo, Chugai, Takeda, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Bristol-Myers, Astellas, Eisai, Janssen, Pfizer, Asahi-kasei, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, UCB, Teijin, MSD, and Santen, Grant/research support from: I have received research grants from Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Takeda, Chugai, Astellas, Eisai, Taisho-Toyama, Kyowa-Kirin, Abbvie, and Bristol-Myers

Abstract
Background:The recent prospectively validated definition of the lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) allows characterisation of patients not achieving a treatment goal, providing impetus for an analysis of unmet needs in SLE using formal definitions. Other recently described definitions of high disease burden include disease activity over time, high disease activity status (HDAS) episodes, and the combination of high disease activity, serological activity and glucocorticoid (GC) use (HDAS+SA+GC).Objectives:To determine the prevalence of formal categories of unmet need, and the association of these with adverse outcomes, in SLE.Methods:Data from a 13-country longitudinal SLE cohort (ACR/SLICC criteria) were collected between 2013 and 19 using standard templates. Unmet need was defined as (i) patients never attaining LLDAS defined as in Golder et al., 2019 [1], (ii) having persistently active disease (time adjusted mean SLEDAI-2K (AMS) > 4), (iii) ever exhibiting high disease activity status (HDAS; SLEDAI-2K ≥10[2]), or (iv) ever exhibiting all of SLEDAI≥10, serological activity, and glucocorticoid use (HDAS+SA+GC)[3]. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed using SF36 (v2) surveys and damage accrual using SLE Damage Index (SDI).Results:3,384 SLE patients were followed for 30,313 visits over median [IQR] 2.4 [0.4, 4.3] years. 53% of all visits were not in LLDAS; 813 patients (24%) never achieved LLDAS during observation. Median AMS was 3.0 [1.4, 4.9] and 34% of patients had AMS > 4 throughout the study. 25% of patients had at least one episode of HDAS, representing 8% of visits. 702 patients (21%) had at least one episode of HDAS+SA+GC, representing 8% of visits. Each of never-LLDAS, AMS>4, ever-HDAS, and ever-HDAS+SA+GC were associated with significantly greater number of physician visits, higher mean glucocorticoid dose, lower HRQoL and higher mortality. 31%, 58% and 83% of never-LLDAS, AMS>4, and ever-HDAS patients respectively were also HDAS+SA+GC on at least one occasion.Conclusion:Data from a multinational longitudinal SLE cohort indicate that unmet need, defined by LLDAS-never, AMS>4, HDAS, or HDAS+SA+GC, is prevalent in SLE, and that these definitions are associated with poor outcomes.References:[1]Golder, V., et al., Lupus low disease activity state as a treatment endpoint for systemic lupus erythematosus: a prospective validation study.

Abstract
Background:In the randomized, double-blinded, Phase 3 SELECT-COMPARE study, upadacitinib (UPA) + MTX demonstrated greater clinical and functional responses vs adalimumab (ADA) + MTX in patients (pts) with RA and inadequate response to MTX.1,2 Pts with insufficient response to initial therapy were switched from UPA to ADA (and vice versa) according to treat-to-target (T2T) principles.Objectives:We analyzed 1-year treatment outcomes in SELECT-COMPARE according to initial randomization group, regardless of whether pts subsequently switched therapy.Methods:Pts initially randomized to UPA 15 mg once daily (QD) or ADA 40 mg every other week (EOW; both + MTX) for up to 48 weeks in SELECT-COMPARE were included in the analysis. As per the protocol-directed rescue strategy, pts experiencing <20% improvement in tender or swollen joint counts at Week 14, 18, or 22, or Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) >10 at Week 26, were switched from UPA to ADA or ADA to UPA in a blinded fashion. Efficacy outcomes included CDAI remission (≤2.8) and low disease activity (LDA; ≤10), DAS of 28 joints using CRP (DAS28[CRP]) <2.6 and ≤3.2, and a composite of “deep response” (CDAI remission, HAQ-Disability Index <0.5, and pain score <20). Data are presented and attributed to initial randomized group (UPA or ADA) regardless of any subsequent switch in therapy. Time-averaged response rates were calculated as area under the curve of response rate standardized by 48 weeks. The proportions of pts who maintained Week 26 responses through 6 months of follow-up are also reported.Results:This analysis included 651 pts initially randomized to UPA (of whom 245 switched to ADA) and 327 pts initially randomized to ADA (of whom 157 switched to UPA). Baseline characteristics including age, sex, and BMI were generally well balanced between randomized groups. At Week 48, similar proportions of pts initially randomized to UPA or ADA therapy achieved CDAI remission/LDA (27.6%/61.9% vs 24.8%/59.0%) and DAS28(CRP) <2.6/≤3.2 (45.0%/60.2% vs 43.7%/59.0%) (Figure 1). However, a small but significantly greater proportion of pts achieved a deep response with initial UPA vs initial ADA therapy (17.8% vs 12.8%; p<0.05). In addition, time-averaged response rates over 48 weeks were higher for initial UPA vs initial ADA therapy across efficacy outcomes. Similar trends were observed for other outcomes. Additionally, similar proportions of pts maintained Week 26 responses with initial UPA vs initial ADA therapy based on CDAI remission/LDA and DAS28(CRP) <2.6/≤3.2 during 6-month follow-up (Table 1).Conclusion:Using a stringent T2T approach to RA management, rates of LDA or remission at 1 year were similar, regardless of whether pts were initially randomized to UPA or ADA. However, initial UPA therapy led to more frequent deep responses and higher time-averaged response rates vs initial ADA therapy.References:[1]Fleischmann R, et al.
