Abstract
Biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) can have different effects on various clinical manifestations of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Data on the effects of interleukin 17 inhibitors (IL17-i) on uveitis in AS continue to accumulate. Objective: to evaluate the effect of IL17-i therapy on the course of uveitis in AS. The study involved 73 patients with AS (New York criteria, 1984), who received IL17-i (57-secukinumab (SEC), 22-netakimab (NTK)) for at least 1 year. The average age of patients at the time of inclusion in the study was 41.93 ± 8.95 years, the average duration of AS was 10.75 ± 6.22 years. There were 40 men (56.7%) and 33 women (43.3%) among the patients. HLA-B27 was detected in 62/73 (85%), coxitis in 58 (79%), enthesitis in 63 (86.3%), peripheral arthritis in 57 (78%), psoriasis in 7 (9.5%), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in 3 (4.1%) patients; in 6 (8.2%) patients, the disease started before the age of 16; 19 (26%) patients had at least one episode of uveitis during the course of the disease. The rates of uveitis was estimated by comparing the number of incidences per 100 patient-years before the start of bDMARDs therapy and during IL17-i using. The incidence rate of uveitis before the start of bDMARDs therapy for all patients was 8.3 per 100 pt-years (95% CI 0.065-0.107), during IL17-i therapy- 9.2 per 100 pt-years (95% CI 0.06-0.15), p = 0.72. The incidence rate of uveitis among patients who used SEC was 10.1 per 100 pt-years (95% CI 0.079-0.13) before the start of bDMARDs therapy and 9.4 per 100 pt-years (95% CI 0.05-0.15), p = 0.74 during SEC therapy. The incidence rate of uveitis among patients who used NTK was 4.8 per 100 pt-years (95% CI 0.028-0.08) before the start of bDMARDs therapy and 7.1 per 100 pt-years (95% CI 0.019-022), p = 0.3 during the NTK therapy. For patients with a history of uveitis, the incidence rate of uveitis was 22.5 per 100 pt-years (95% CI 0.18-0.28) before the start of therapy with bDMARDs and 29.1 per 100 pt-years (95% CI 0.18-0.43), p = 0.29 during IL17-i therapy. Occurrences of uveitis were observed in 4 of 57 patients (7%) during SEC therapy and in 1 of 25 (4%) patients during the NTK therapy. One case of new-onset uveitis was recorded during the using of SEC. There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of uveitis during IL17-i therapy compared with non-biological therapy. IL17-i therapy have not demonstrated a significant effect on the course of uveitis in AS in the study group.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe an atypical presentation of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) receiving secukinumab. METHODS Retrospective chart review. RESULTS A 48-year-old female patient with AS receiving secukinumab complained of impaired vision in her left eye. Left eye examination revealed multiple yellow-white lesions at the posterior pole and central subfoveal fluid.The lesions regressed without scarring. The case was diagnosed with clinically APMPPE. CONCLUSION In AS patients, posterior uveitis can manifest as APMPPE. It should be recorded as an entity to be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Clin Transl Immunology 2023; 12:e1479. [PMID: 38090668 PMCID: PMC10714664 DOI: 10.1002/cti2.1479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Characterised by intraocular inflammation, non-infectious uveitis includes a large group of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases that either involve the eye alone or have both ocular and systemic manifestations. When non-infectious uveitis involves the posterior segment of the eye, specifically the retina, there is substantial risk of vision loss, often linked to breakdown of the inner blood-retinal barrier. This barrier is formed by non-fenestrated retinal vascular endothelial cells, reinforced by supporting cells that include pericytes, Müller cells and astrocytes. Across the published literature, a group of inflammatory cytokines stand out as prominent mediators of intraocular inflammation, with effects on the retinal endothelium that may contribute to breakdown of the inner blood-retinal barrier, namely tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17 and chemokine C-C motif ligand (CCL)2. This article reviews the function of each cytokine and discusses the evidence for their involvement in retinal endothelial barrier dysfunction in non-infectious uveitis, including basic laboratory investigations, studies of ocular fluids collected from patients with non-infectious uveitis, and results of clinical treatment trials. The review also outlines gaps in knowledge in this area. Understanding the disease processes at a molecular level can suggest treatment alternatives that are directed against appropriate biological targets to protect the posterior segment of eye and preserve vision in non-infectious uveitis.

REUMATOLOGIA CLINICA 2023; 19:175-179. [PMID: 37061278 DOI: 10.1016/j.reumae.2022.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 04/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of secukinumab (SEC) in axial spondyloarthropathy (axSpA) in anti-TNFα naïve and anti-TNFα experienced patients. It also focused on the duration of SEC treatment and its side effects. PATIENTS AND METHODS The patients with axSpA treated with SEC and followed up in our outpatient clinic from May 2018 through October 2021 were included in this study. All patients in the study also fulfilled the ASAS classification criteria for axSpA. Patients were separated into two groups according to whether they received prior anti-TNFα therapy. While anti-TNFα naïve patients comprised group 1, anti-TNFα experienced patients were included in group 2. Pre- and post-treatment BASDAI scores were reported and compared. RESULTS Eighty-four axSpA patients (42 men; duration of the disease: 86.86±65.35 months in group 1 and 160.65±97.4 months in group 2) were treated with SEC. 45.5% of anti-TNFα naïve patients and 56.5% of anti-TNFα experienced patients were still on SEC therapy in October 2021. Duration of SEC treatment was 12.5±7.9 months in group 1 and 17.19±12 months in group 2 (p=0.098). The differences between pre-and post-treatment BASDAI scores were statistically significant in both groups (p<0.001). While patients in group 1 did not develop any adverse effects, three patients in group 2 experienced alopecia, uveitis, and recurrent pneumonia after SEC treatment. CONCLUSION Our study's efficacy and safety data on the use of SEC were reassuring in both anti-TNFα naïve and anti-TNFα experienced patients. However, further studies are still needed to determine the appropriate timing to begin SEC treatment.

Abstract
Secukinumab is an anti-interleukin (IL)-17A IgG1-κ monoclonal antibody approved for psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Its efficacy is well documented, but the complete safety profile of secukinumab, especially on long-term use, needs to be studied. IL-17 inhibitors increase the risk of infections, especially respiratory tract infections and candidiasis, and inflammatory bowel disease; the causal relationships are well described. However, evidence regarding the other adverse events is scarce, and causal associations between the adverse events and the biologic remain unresolved. This review aims to present a narrative perspective on the safety of secukinumab and identify some key areas where the safety of secukinumab may potentially be useful in understanding the scope of secukinumab therapy and making informed clinical decisions.

Abstract
Noninfectious uveitis is a common blinding eye disease, and an autoimmune response is involved in its pathogenesis. Biological agents have gradually been introduced into the treatment of noninfectious uveitis. The authors reviewed the clinical application and side effects of different biological agents on noninfectious uveitis. Biological agents that target TNF-α are widely used in the clinic. Other biological agents, such as IL-6- and IL-1-neutralizing antibodies, are used in patients who do not respond to TNF inhibitors. The efficacy of IL-17 neutralizing antibodies in noninfectious uveitis is controversial. Biological agents targeting T cells and signaling pathways provide new drug options for treatment of noninfectious uveitis. However, it cannot be ignored that these biological agents have side effects, such as increasing risk of infection.

Abstract
Although secukinumab has demonstrated high efficacy and favorable safety in moderate-to-severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, patients developing adverse events of special interest (AESI) were reported increasingly in real-world practice. A systematic literature search of the PubMed database was conducted to identify clinical studies or case reports on secukinumab-induced AESI. More than 1077 patients (aged 18-74 years) from 55 studies were reported to have 24 AESI 3 days to 96 weeks after secukinumab treatment. The four most common AESI was inflammatory bowel disease (n > 1000), eczematous drug eruption (n > 30), drug-associated vasculitis (n = 8), and drug-induced lupus erythematosus (n = 4). Most of these AESI were only mild to moderately severe and resolved after secukinumab discontinuation without or with symptomatic treatment. Secukinumab has the potential to develop a number of AESI by probably dysregulating the different expression of polar T-cell axes (Th1, Th2, Th17, Th22, and/or Treg) and driving various cytokines in some patients. Physicians should be aware of these AESI for timely diagnosis and proper treatment. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Uveitis is considered a relatively rare but serious ocular complication of psoriasis. We report the first successful treatment of severe noninfectious uveitis with secukinumab in a 70-year-old woman with erythrodermic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents were administered for 5 years for the treatment of erythrodermic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Although the symptoms improved, she later developed noninfectious uveitis, resulting in a sharp decline in vision. After switching to secukinumab, her vision slightly improved, her skin lesions subsided, and her joint symptoms were relieved. Given the rarity of psoriasis combined with uveitis, it is unclear whether uveitis is related to anti-TNF therapy. In addition, the selection of effective biological agents for the treatment of uveitis remains a challenge and requires extensive clinical experience.
