Effect of Secukinumab Versus Adalimumab Biosimilar on Radiographic Progression in Patients With Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis: Results From a Head-to-Head Randomized Phase IIIb Study. Arthritis Rheumatol 2024; 76:1278-1287. [PMID: 38556921 DOI: 10.1002/art.42852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spinal radiographic progression is an important outcome in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). The objective of the phase IIIb SURPASS study was to compare spinal radiographic progression in patients with radiographic axial SpA treated with secukinumab (interleukin-17A inhibitor) versus adalimumab biosimilar (Sandoz adalimumab [SDZ-ADL]; tumor necrosis factor inhibitor). METHODS Biologic-naive patients with active radiographic axial SpA, at high risk of radiographic progression (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP] ≥5 mg/L and/or ≥1 syndesmophyte[s] on spinal radiographs), were randomized (1:1:1) to secukinumab (150/300 mg) or SDZ-ADL (40 mg). The proportion of patients with no radiographic progression (change from baseline [CFB] in modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score [mSASSS] ≤0.5) on secukinumab versus SDZ-ADL at week 104 (primary endpoint), mean CFB-mSASSS, proportion of patients with ≥1 syndesmophyte(s) at baseline with no new syndesmophyte(s), and safety were evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 859 patients (78.5% male, mSASSS 16.6, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index 7.1, hsCRP 20.4 mg/L, and 73.0% with ≥1 syndesmophyte[s]) received secukinumab 150 mg (n = 287), secukinumab 300 mg (n = 286), or SDZ-ADL (n = 286). At week 104, the proportion of patients with no radiographic progression was 66.1%, 66.9%, and 65.6% (P = not significant, both secukinumab doses) and mean CFB-mSASSS was 0.54, 0.55, and 0.72 in secukinumab 150 mg, secukinumab 300 mg, and SDZ-ADL arms, respectively. Overall, 56.9%, 53.8%, and 53.3% of patients on secukinumab 150 mg, secukinumab 300 mg, and SDZ-ADL, respectively, with ≥1 syndesmophyte(s) at baseline did not develop new syndesmophyte(s) by week 104. There were no unexpected safety findings. CONCLUSION Spinal radiographic progression over two years was low with no significant difference between secukinumab and SDZ-ADL arms. The safety of both treatments was consistent with previous reports.

Abstract
Objectives The study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the clinical disease activity of axial spondyloarthropathy (axSpA) and magnetic resonance imaging findings of the sacroiliac joint. Patients and methods Thirty-two patients (21 males, 11 females; mean age: 39.3±9.2 years; range, 18 to 55 years) who were diagnosed with axSpA according to the Assessment in Spondyloarthritis International Society classification criteria between November 2015 and August 2017 were included in this cross-sectional study. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS)-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and ASDAS-C-reactive protein (CRP) were used as the indicators of clinical activity. Magnetic resonance imaging of the sacroiliac joint was performed and the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) score was evaluated by a radiologist who was blinded to the clinical and laboratory parameters of the patients. Results The mean duration of symptom onset was 9.3±7.7 years, and the mean duration of diagnosis was 3.6±2.8 years. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 was positive in 16 (50%) patients. There was no correlation between the SPARCC score and VAS, BASDAI, MASES, BASFI, ASDAS-CRP, ASDAS-ESR, ESR, and CRP values (p>0.05). In the HLA-B27 subgroup analyses, a statistically significant correlation was found between HLA-B27-negative patients and SPARCC score (r=0.639, p=0.008). Conclusion No relationship was found between other clinical disease parameters and sacroiliac joint imaging findings, except for the relationship between the SPARCC and BASDAI in HLA-B27- negative patients with axSpA.

San Koo B, Kim TH. The role of ixekizumab in non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Ther Adv Musculoskelet Dis 2021; 13:1759720X20986734. [PMID: 33488787 PMCID: PMC7809523 DOI: 10.1177/1759720x20986734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) is distinguished from ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by a lack of obvious radiographic changes in the sacroiliac joint. Tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) has been used as a highly effective treatment in patients with AS and has shown good efficacy and safety in clinical trials in patients with nr-axSpA. As the pathophysiological mechanism for axSpA has started to become better recognized, various drugs other than TNFi, all of which are related to the interleukin-17 (IL-17) axis, are being evaluated in patients with axSpA. IL-17 inhibitors, such as secukinumab and ixekizumab, are effective drugs for patients with AS. A recent clinical trial reported that ixekizumab, a monoclonal antibody against IL-17A, was also effective in patients with nr-axSpA. In a COAST-X study, ixekizumab was superior to a placebo for improving signs and symptoms in patients with nr-axSpA at weeks 16 and 52. The adverse events were no different from those found in previous ixekizumab studies, and no new safety signals were identified. However, when considering several IL-17 inhibitors, it is necessary to obtain sufficient data to identify the exacerbation of extra-articular manifestation. In terms of effectiveness and safety, ixekizumab may be an appropriate alternative to TNFi in nr-axSpA patients.

Biologic therapy and spinal radiographic progression in patients with axial spondyloarthritis: A structured literature review. Ther Adv Musculoskelet Dis 2020; 12:1759720X20906040. [PMID: 32180840 PMCID: PMC7057409 DOI: 10.1177/1759720x20906040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2019] [Accepted: 01/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to perform a structured literature review of spinal radiographic progression, as assessed by the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS), in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) treated with biologic therapy. Searches were limited to English language manuscripts published in the 11 years prior to 9 July 2019. Randomized controlled trials, open-label extensions (OLEs) and observational studies reporting mSASSS progression in patients with AS or nr-axSpA treated with biologics were eligible for inclusion. Bias was assessed using the methodological index for nonrandomized studies (MINORS) tool. Among the 322 studies identified in the literature search, 23 (11 OLEs and 12 cohort studies) met the eligibility criteria and were selected for inclusion. Most studies reported mSASSS progression in patients with AS receiving tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) treatment. One study reported mSASSS progression in patients with AS treated with secukinumab, an interleukin-17A inhibitor. The mean (range) MINORS score was 11.3 (7-15) for the 15 noncomparative studies and 15 (12-22) for the 8 comparative studies. Although results of the individual studies were variable, mSASSS progression in patients with AS was generally minimal and slow with long-term TNFi therapy. Moreover, odds ratios for the likelihood of mSASSS progression with/without TNFi favoured TNFi therapy in several of the cohort studies. The rate of mSASSS progression following continuous secukinumab treatment was low and remained stable over 4 years. Of two studies reporting progression in patients with nr-axSpA treated with TNFis, one showed no mSASSS progression; however, the lack of control limited comparative conclusions.

Clinical and MRI response to dose reduction of an etanercept-biosimilar for hip arthritis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: an observational, retrospective cohort study. Clin Rheumatol 2019; 38:1595-1604. [PMID: 30746581 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-019-04466-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2018] [Revised: 01/27/2019] [Accepted: 02/03/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hip arthritis plays a critical role in the prognosis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Dose reduction of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors preserves general improvement of AS, so this study attempted to examine the equivalence between Yisaipu® tapering and conventional therapy for hip arthritis in AS patients, using clinical parameters and magnetic resonance image (MRI). METHODS AS patients received this etanercept-biosimilar injections (50 mg/week) in the first 12 weeks. Participants in the tapering group were treated with this reagent 50 mg every other week from week 13 to week 24, while the control group kept undergoing full-dose therapy. Clinical and laboratory parameters were assessed at baseline, week 12 and week 24. MRI examination of hip was performed at baseline and week 24. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-six patients were enrolled, and 80 of them were in the tapering group. Linear mixed model revealed that main effects of tapering group with control group as reference in disease activity parameters were insignificant (p > 0.05). Main effects of baseline with week 24 as reference were significant (p < 0.05), but main effects of week 12 with week 24 as reference were not (p > 0.05). Prevalence of acute inflammatory change in MRI significantly decreased in the tapering group (76.88% vs 20.00%, p < 0.05) and control group (76.79% vs 19.64%, p < 0.05). Influence of both treatments on acute inflammatory change was equivalent (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Efficacy of Yisaipu® tapering treatment is comparable to the full-dose therapy for hip arthritis in AS patients. Both treatments maintain remission of hip arthritis after patients achieved low disease activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report 4-year imaging outcomes in the RAPID-axSpA (NCT01087762) study of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA), treated with certolizumab pegol (CZP). METHODS This phase III, randomised trial was placebo-controlled and double-blind to week 24, dose-blind to week 48 and open-label to week 204. Patients fulfilling the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) axSpA criteria with active disease were stratified (AS/nr-axSpA) according to the modified New York (mNY) criteria at randomisation. Spinal radiographs were assessed using the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS). MRI inflammation used the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) score for sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and the Berlin spinal score (remission defined as SPARCC <2 and Berlin ≤2, respectively). RESULTS MRI improvements from baseline (BL) to week 12 were maintained to week 204 (SPARCC BL: AS=8.5, nr-axSpA=7.5; SPARCC week 204: AS=1.3, nr-axSpA=2.4; Berlin BL: AS=7.4, nr-axSpA=4.4; Berlin week 204: AS=2.6, nr-axSpA=1.9). 66.7% of patients with AS and 69.6% of patients with nr-axSpA with BL SPARCC scores ≥2, and 65.4% of patients with AS and 57.3% of patients with nr-axSpA with BL Berlin score >2, achieved remission at week 204. Mean mSASSS change in AS from BL to week 204 was 0.98 (95% CI 0.34, 1.63); 0.67 (95% CI 0.21,1.13) from BL to week 96; and 0.31 (95% CI 0.02,0.60) from week 96 to week 204. Corresponding nr-axSpA changes were 0.06 (95% CI -0.17,0.28), -0.01 (95% CI -0.19,0.17) and 0.07 (95% CI -0.07,0.20). 4.5% of patients with nr-axSpA fulfilled the mNY criteria at week 204, while 4.3% of patients with AS no longer did so. CONCLUSIONS In patients with CZP-treated axSpA, rapid decreases in spinal and SIJ MRI inflammation were maintained to week 204. Overall, 4-year spinal progression was low, with less progression during years 2-4 than 0-2. Radiographic SIJ grading changes demonstrated limited progression.
