Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the disease and patient characteristics, treatment, and MET testing patterns, predictive biomarkers and survival outcomes in patients with MET-dysregulated metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a real-world setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a multinational, retrospective, noninterventional chart review study. Data from medical records of patients with advanced/metastatic EGFR wild-type, MET-dysregulated NSCLC (December 2017-September 2018) were abstracted into electronic data collection forms. RESULTS Overall, 211 patient charts were included in this analysis; 157 patients had MET exon 14 skipping mutations (METex14; with or without concomitant MET amplification) and 54 had MET amplification only. All patients were tested for METex14, whereas MET amplification was evaluated in 168 patients. No overlap was reported between MET dysregulation and ALK, ROS1 or RET rearrangements, or HER2 exon 20 insertions. Overall, 56 of 211 patients (26.5%) received MET inhibitor (METi) therapy in any treatment-line setting (31.2% in the METex14 cohort; 13% in the MET-amplified only cohort). In the METex14 cohort, median OS in patients receiving METi was 25.4 months versus 10.7 months in patients who did not (HR [95% CI]: 0.532 [0.340-0.832]; P = .0055). In the MET-amplified only cohort, median OS was 20.6 months in patients treated with METi compared with 7.6 months in those without METi (HR [95% CI]: 0.388 [0.152-0.991]; P = .0479). CONCLUSIONS MET alterations in NSCLC typically occur in the absence of other oncogenic driver mutations and are associated with poor survival outcomes. Notably, METi therapies are associated with improved survival outcomes in patients with MET-dysregulated NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the high prevalence of brain metastases (BM) secondary to non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (NSCLC/BM), patients' experiences (symptoms and impacts) are not fully understood. This study sought to understand the patient experience with NSCLC/BM and identify a patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure fit to capture the most important NSCLC/BM symptoms and impacts. METHODS A targeted literature review was completed; the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)/Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain Symptom Index, 24-item version (NFBrSI-24) was identified as a relevant measure that assessed the core symptoms and impacts associated with NSCLC/BM. Qualitative interviews composed of concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing with oncologists (n = 3) and adult patients (n = 16) with NSCLC/BM were conducted to confirm the content validity and evaluate the relevance and appropriateness of the NFBrSI-24 for this condition. RESULTS The NSCLC/BM symptoms and impacts identified in the literature and reported by oncologists and patients were consistent and captured in the NFBrSI-24. Study participants reported significant burden associated with the symptoms (commonly fatigue, headache) and impacts of NSCLC/BM. Participants indicated that the NFBrSI-24 captured their most salient experiences with NSCLC/BM and that symptom improvement or a delay in progression, as measured by the NFBrSI-24, would be meaningful. During the cognitive debriefing, participants generally indicated that the NFBrSI-24 was comprehensive and easy to understand/answer and that it assessed symptoms they considered most important to treat. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the NFBrSI-24 adequately captures an appropriate measure of NSCLC/BM symptoms and impact.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Capmatinib, a MET inhibitor, showed substantial antitumour activity with manageable side effects in patients with MET exon 14 (METex14)-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) in the GEOMETRY mono-1 study. We report patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from this study. METHODS Enrolled treatment-naïve (1L) or pre-treated (2L+) patients with aNSCLC with a METex14-skipping mutation received 400 mg capmatinib twice daily during 21-day treatment cycles. PROs were collected at baseline and every six weeks thereafter using EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status/quality of life (GHS/QoL), QLQ-LC13 symptoms, and EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaires. RESULTS As of 6 January 2020, 27/28 1L and 65/69 2L+ patients had completed PROs at baseline; compliance rates remained >70%. Cough improved early, with meaningful improvements (≥10-point change from baseline) observed throughout cycles (mean change from baseline [SD] by week 7: 1L -13.0 [39.9], 2L+ -8.2 [28.4]; week 43: 1L -28.2 [26.7], 2L+ -10.5 [27.3]). QoL, assessed by GHS/QoL and VAS, improved by week 7 in 1L and 2L+ patients, with improvements generally sustained over time. Median time to definitive deterioration (TTDD) in GHS/QoL was 16.6 months (95% CI: 9.7, not estimable [NE]) in 1L and 12.4 months (95% CI: 4.2, 19.4) in 2L+ patients. Median TTDD for dyspnoea was 19.4 months (95% CI: 12.4, NE) and 22.1 months (95% CI: 9.9, NE) for 1L and 2L+ patients, respectively, and NE for cough and chest pain. CONCLUSIONS Capmatinib was associated with clinically meaningful improvements in cough and preserved QoL, further supporting its use in patients with METex14-mutated aNSCLC. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov registry number: NCT02414139.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The phase 3 FUTURE 5 trial (NCT02404350) showed the clinical and radiographical efficacy of secukinumab in patients with psoriatic arthritis. This analysis aimed to assess the effect of secukinumab on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). METHODS FUTURE 5 was a phase 3, multicentre, parallel-group randomised trial in which patients who were 18 years old or older, met the classification criteria for psoriatic arthritis at screening, and had symptoms of moderate-to-severe psoriatic arthritis for at least 6 months were randomly assigned to receive secukinumab 300 mg, 150 mg, 150 mg no loading dose (NL), or placebo weekly from baseline to week 4 and every 4 weeks thereafter. The prespecified PROs of the FUTURE 5 trial were assessed first in the overall population. We report mean changes from baseline and the proportion of patients reporting improvements equal to or more than the minimum clinically important differences (MCIDs) and scores equal to or more than the normative values for patient global assessments (PtGA) of disease activity; psoriasis and arthritis visual analogue scale (VAS) scores; pain VAS; Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI); 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36); Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue (FACIT-F); and quality of life questionnaires. Patients were then stratified and assessed according to their tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor status (TNF-naive and TNF-inadequate responder [TNF-IR] populations) as a post-hoc analysis. FINDINGS Patients in all secukinumab groups reported significant least-squares mean changes from placebo at week 16 in all PROs except SF-36 mental component summary (MCS), irrespective of TNF inhibitor use. These included PtGA (300 mg difference vs placebo -12·2 [95% CI -16·3 to -8·1], 150 mg -8·22 [-12·4 to -4·1], 150 mg NL -8·3 [-12·5 to -4·2]; all p<0·0001), pain VAS (300 mg -14·3 [-18·3 to -10·2], 150 mg -11·5 [-15·6 to -7·5], 150 mg NL -11·3 [-15·3 to -7·2]; all p<0·0001), HAQ-DI (300 mg -0·33 [-0·42 to -0·24], 150 mg -0·23 [-0·32 to -0·14], 150 mg NL -0·24 [-0·33 to -0·15]; all p<0·0001), and FACIT-F (300 mg 4·8 [3·2 to 6·4], 150 mg 4·2 [2·6 to 5·8], 150 mg NL 3·5 [1·9 to 5·1]; all p<0·0001). Similarly, the proportion of patients with improvements equal to or better than MCID at week 16 was higher in the secukinumab group compared with the placebo group for most PROs except SF-36 (MCS), regardless of TNF inhibitor use. INTERPRETATION Secukinumab resulted in early, statistically significant, clinically meaningful, sustained improvements in PROs across all doses compared with placebo in patients with active psoriatic arthritis. These improvements were seen irrespective of previous TNF inhibitor use, in a post-hoc analysis. These results indicate that secukinumab provides comprehensive improvement for patients with psoriatic arthritis, regardless of previous therapy. FUNDING Novartis.

Abstract
9056 Background: Capmatinib, a potent, selective MET inhibitor, showed substantial antitumor activity and manageable tolerability in patients with METex14-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) in the GEOMETRY mono-1 trial (NCT02414139). Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from this study are reported here. Methods: GEOMETRY mono-1 enrolled patients ≥18 years with METex14-mutated or MET-amplified, ALK-negative and EGFR wild-type, treatment-naïve (1L) or pre-treated (2L+) aNSCLC, to receive capmatinib orally 400 mg bid during 21-day treatment cycles. Here we report results for patients with METex14 mutations. PROs (EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-LC13 and EQ-5D-5L) were collected at baseline (BL) and every 6 weeks (Wks) until end of treatment. Key PROs (in patients with BL and ≥1 post-BL value) included change from BL in QLQ-C30 global health status (GHS), QLQ-LC13 symptoms (cough, chest pain and dyspnea), and EQ-5D-5L visual analogue scale (VAS), with a ≥10-point change from BL considered clinically meaningful. Time to definitive deterioration (TTDD) in QLQ-LC13 symptoms (time from treatment initiation to first date of ≥10% symptom change from BL with no later reduction) was assessed using Kaplan-Meier. QLQ-LC13 symptoms over time were explored by BIRC-assessed clinical response to capmatinib. Results: By Jan 6, 2020 cut-off, median capmatinib exposure was 48.2 (4.0 117.4) Wks and 22.1 (0.4 136.0) Wks for 1L and 2L+ patients, respectively. A total of 27/28 1L patients and 65/69 2L+ patients completed PROs at BL, and completion rate remained high (mostly > 70%) through treatment cycles. Mean [SD] BL PRO scores were moderate-to-high in 1L and 2L+ patients (GHS: 64.7 [21.6] and 58.8 [21.0.]; cough: 35.9 [32.6] and 28.7 [28.2]; chest pain: 12.8 [23.2] and 17.2 [22.7]; dyspnea: 23.5 [23.4] and 22.2 [20.8]; VAS: 67.7 [20.8] and 61.9 [18.8], respectively). Overall change from BL in PROs was maintained over time. Cough improved early, with meaningful improvements observed through cycles, notably in 1L patients (mean change from BL [SD] at Wk 7: 1L -13.0 [39.9], 2L+ -8.2 [28.4]; Wk 25: 1L -15.6 [33.0], 2L+ -6.0 [31.5]; Wk 43: 1L -28.2 [26.7], 2L+ -10.5 [27.3]). Median TTDD in GHS was 16.6 months (95% CI: 9.7, NE [not estimated]) and 12.4 months (95% CI: 4.2, 19.4) in 1L and 2L+ patients, respectively. Median TTDD for cough and chest pain was NE in both 1L and 2L+ patients, and for dyspnea was 19.4 months (95% CI: 12.4, NE) and 22.1 months (95% CI: 9.9, NE), respectively. QLQ-LC13 symptoms improved at all cycles in patients achieving clinical complete response or partial response, while symptom worsening was seen in those with no clinical response. Conclusions: Capmatinib was associated with clinically meaningful improvements in cough, delayed time to lung symptom deterioration, and preserved QoL, supporting its use as a treatment option in patients with METex14-mutated aNSCLC. Clinical trial information: NCT02414139.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biologic psoriasis treatments are differentiated by efficacy, side effects, and other attributes. OBJECTIVE Determine attributes of biologic psoriasis treatments that drive patients' treatment choices. METHODS Respondents (USA: n = 300; Germany: n = 300) with moderate-to-severe psoriasis completed a discrete-choice-experiment survey, choosing between hypothetical treatments characterized by attributes with varying levels: chance of clear skin after 1 year, number of first-year treatments, first-year risks of mild-to-moderate injection site reaction (ISR) and serious infection, and years of proven efficacy/safety. RESULTS U.S. respondents most valued clear skin (conditional relative importance, 1.88; p < .05). While other attributes were of generally equivalent importance, ISR risk outweighed serious-infection risk (1.06 vs. 0.70; p < .05). German respondents placed greatest importance on ISR risk (1.61; p < .05) and clear skin (1.49; p < .05). LIMITATIONS Respondents evaluated hypothetical treatments and were recruited from web panels. CONCLUSIONS Clear skin and ISR risk are stronger drivers of treatment choice than injection frequency and infection risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the longer-term effects of secukinumab 150 mg on fatigue in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in MEASURE 1 (up to 3 years) and MEASURE 2 (up to 2 years). METHODS Patients with active AS were randomized to secukinumab or placebo in MEASURE 1 (10 mg/kg intravenous [IV] followed by 150 mg subcutaneous [SC]) and MEASURE 2 (150 mg SC). Patients were naive to or had an inadequate response/intolerance to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (anti-TNF-naive/ anti-TNF-IR). Fatigue was measured using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) scale. Relationships between fatigue response and baseline characteristics and clinical/laboratory variables were explored. RESULTS Significant improvements in FACIT-F scores from baseline were observed with secukinumab across both studies versus placebo at week 16 (P < 0.05). Improvements were sustained through week 156 (MEASURE 1)/week 104 (MEASURE 2). Significantly more patients reported fatigue responses (FACIT-F increase ≥4; observed data) with secukinumab 150 mg than placebo at week 16 in both MEASURE 1 (P < 0.05) and MEASURE 2 (P < 0.01). Fatigue responses were achieved by 75.6% of patients receiving secukinumab at week 156 (MEASURE 1) and 81.4% at week 104 (MEASURE 2); these results were consistent in both anti-TNF-naive (74.3% and 84.6%) and anti-TNF-IR (81.3% and 75.0%) patients. Baseline characteristics did not predict improvement in fatigue consistently. Fatigue responses were moderately to strongly correlated with responses in several clinical measures, including Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS)20/40, ASAS5/6 responses, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score-C reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), and Short-form (SF)-36 scores. CONCLUSION Secukinumab provided rapid and sustained improvements in fatigue for up to 3 years, regardless of prior anti-TNF exposure.

Abstract
Background: There is limited evidence regarding biologics dosing patterns and its costs among psoriasis patients in the United Kingdom (UK). Objective: This retrospective study assessed biologics dose increase beyond labelled dose and associated UK pharmacy costs in moderate to severe psoriasis patients. Methods: Adult psoriasis patients on biologic prescription for ≥12 continuous months between January 2010 and March 2015 with their diagnosis recorded in the UK Hospital Treatment Insights Database within one month of such prescription were included. The proportion of patients receiving ≥30% higher the average daily maintenance dose as per the UK product label, and associated 12-month costs were reported. Results: The study included 362 patients, receiving adalimumab (48%), etanercept (17%), ustekinumab (12%), and infliximab (23%). Beyond labelled dose increase was noted in 14% adalimumab, 20% etanercept, 18% ustekinumab and 28% infliximab patients with an associated mean annual extra cost per patient of £7936, £5912, £2422 and £2275, respectively. Conclusion: Dose increase beyond labelled dose of biologics was commonly observed in moderate to severe psoriasis in the UK and resulted in substantial annual incremental pharmacy costs.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of secukinumab, a fully human anti-interleukin-17A monoclonal antibody, compared to other clinically used biologics (adalimumab, infliximab, and ustekinumab) in Japan for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis from the healthcare system (total costs) and patient co-payment (using different frequencies of drug purchase) perspectives. METHODS A decision-tree (first year)/Markov model (subsequent years), with an annual cycle, was developed. The model adopted a 5-year time horizon. Efficacy inputs were obtained from a mixed-treatment comparison analysis, and other model inputs were collected from published literature and local Japanese sources. Model outcomes included quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) in terms of cost per QALY gained. The annual discounting rate of 2% was applied to both costs and outcomes. RESULTS Results for the healthcare system perspective showed that secukinumab had the highest number of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) (4.07) vs other biologics, dominated ustekinumab and infliximab, and the ICER of secukinumab compared to adalimumab was ¥8,418,222/QALY gained. In the patient co-payment perspective with the monthly purchase of drugs, ustekinumab had the lowest co-payment cost, followed by infliximab, adalimumab, and secukinumab. In the patient co-payment perspective with a once every 3 months purchase of secukinumab and adalimumab, the co-payment costs of secukinumab, adalimumab, and ustekinumab became comparable, and infliximab had the highest co-payment cost. LIMITATIONS Only short-term efficacy data was modeled, as there was a lack of data on long-term outcomes. Treatment sequencing was restricted to first-line biologic treatment. Drop-out rates for comparators were assumed to be equivalent to secukinumab in the absence of available data. CONCLUSIONS Secukinumab is a cost-efficient treatment for moderate-to-severe psoriasis, providing greater health outcomes to patients at lower total costs compared to infliximab and ustekinumab, as well as comparable patient co-payment relative to other biologic treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is associated with a high economic burden to society. New psoriasis systemic treatments offer the potential for improved skin clearance. Whether a higher degree of clearing translates into economic benefit through decreased work impairment has not been fully determined. OBJECTIVE To assess whether more complete clearing of psoriasis is associated with a reduction in disease-related indirect costs. METHODS Pooled data from employed patients included in the CLEAR study, a phase 3b study comparing the efficacy and safety of secukinumab (337 subjects) versus ustekinumab (339 subjects), were classified into 4 levels of skin clearance improvement at weeks 16 and 52: Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) improvement from baseline of < 50% (PASI < 50), 50%-74% (PASI 50-74), 75%-89% (PASI 75-89), and ≥ 90% (PASI ≥ 90). Patients completed the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire for psoriasis (WPAI-PSO), which assessed absenteeism, presenteeism, and a composite overall work impairment over the previous 7 days at weeks 16 and 52. U.S. Department of Labor data were used to calculate annual indirect costs due to work productivity loss. RESULTS In the CLEAR study, 452 (67%) were employed at baseline and included in this analysis. At week 16, mean overall work impairment significantly decreased with higher PASI improvements: 22.8% for PASI < 50, compared with 13.3% for PASI 50-74 (P = 0.001); 6.4% for PASI 75-89 (P < 0.001); and 4.9% for PASI ≥ 90 (P < 0.001), with the majority of work impairment related to presenteeism. Calculated mean work hours lost by overall work impairment decreased with higher PASI improvements: 8.2 hours lost/week (429 hours/year) for patients with PASI 50; 4.6 hours lost/week (251 hours/year) for PASI 50-74; 2.3 hours lost/week (121 hours/year) for PASI 75-89; and 1.8 hours lost/week (93 hours/year) for PASI ≥ 90. Associated mean annual indirect costs due to work productivity loss per worker decreased with higher PASI improvements: $10,318 for PASI < 50, $6,042 for PASI 50-74, $2,901 for PASI 75-89, and $2,233 for PASI ≥ 90. Similar results were observed at week 52. Mean overall work impairment decreased with higher PASI improvements, ranging from 26.3% for PASI < 50 to 6.9% for PASI ≥ 90. A decrease in overall work hours lost (ranging from 9.5 hours lost/week [495 hours/year] for PASI < 50 to 2.5 hours/week [130 hours/year] for PASI ≥ 90), as well as associated annual indirect costs due to work productivity loss (ranging from $11,906 for PASI < 50 to $3,125 for PASI ≥ 90), were also shown with higher PASI improvements at week 52. CONCLUSIONS Among working patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, higher PASI improvements were associated with lower work productivity loss and reduced annual indirect costs. By improving and sustaining skin clearance, psoriasis treatments may contribute to increased work productivity and decreased societal economic burden.

Abstract
Introduction Secukinumab, a fully human anti-interleukin-17A monoclonal antibody, has demonstrated superior efficacy to ustekinumab in the phase 3b CLEAR study of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Here, we report 16-week results from CLARITY, a second head-to-head trial comparing secukinumab with ustekinumab. Methods In the phase 3b CLARITY study, patients were randomized 1:1 to receive subcutaneous secukinumab 300 mg or ustekinumab per label. The co-primary objectives were to demonstrate the superiority of secukinumab over ustekinumab at Week 12 in relation to the proportion of patients with (1) 90% or more improvement from baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) and (2) a score of 0/1 (clear/almost clear) on the modified Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA mod 2011 0/1). Key secondary objectives were also assessed, as was Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1 (no impact of skin disease on patients’ quality of life) response. Missing values were handled by multiple imputation except for DLQI 0/1, where last observation carried forward techniques were utilized. Results Both co-primary objectives were met: secukinumab was superior to ustekinumab for the proportion of patients achieving a PASI 90 (66.5% vs. 47.9%) and IGA mod 2011 0/1 response (72.3% vs. 55.4%) at Week 12 (p < 0.0001). PASI 90 responses were greater with secukinumab compared to ustekinumab from as early as Week 4 (16.7% vs. 4.0%) and out to Week 16 (76.6% vs. 54.2%). Similarly, IGA mod 2011 0/1 findings were greater with secukinumab at Week 4 (26.9% vs. 7.8%) and at Week 16 (78.6% vs. 59.1%). DLQI 0/1 response rates were also greater with secukinumab compared to ustekinumab at Week 4 (33.9% vs. 18.0%), Week 12 (64.0% vs. 51.7%), and Week 16 (68.4% vs. 55.9%). Conclusion The results of this study confirm the superior efficacy of secukinumab over ustekinumab in treating patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.

Abstract
Aim. This study sets out to establish the demographic and clinical features of psoriasis and its co-morbidities; to describe approaches to treating patients in Russia, to whom the systemic therapy of drugs has been recommended; to assess the effects of this dermatosis on the patients' quality of life and work productivity; to assess the degree of consistency between dermatologists' and patients' estimates concerning the severity of the disease, complaints/objective manifestations and treatment satisfaction.Methods. Data from the GfK Disease Atlas was used. This ATLAS was filed within a global programme Growth from Knowledge that collected reliable data in the context of everyday clinical practice in 9 countries. The paper presents the results solely for the Russian sample. The study involved patients with moderate or severe psoriasis who were receiving systemic therapy for this disease. Using specially developed forms, ATLAS specialists registered data about patients, their disease and received treatment. The patients affected by psoriasis, who participated in the study, were questioned about their disease. Dermatologists assessed the severity of psoriasis, the patients' complaints, co-morbidities and received treatment. The patients completed questionnaires aimed at assessing the quality of their life [Dermatology Life Quality Index, DLQI] and their work productivity [Work Productivity and Activity Impairment, WPAI]. The concordance between the patients' and the dermatologists' estimates was assessed using Cohen's kappa coefficient.Results. Overall, 3,821 patients participated in the ATLAS programme, out of whom 300 patients were Russians. The average time since psoriasis diagnosis amounted to 9.9 years. 51 % of the patients complained about itching in the lesion areas. Psoriatic arthritis was registered in 19 % of the cases. Among co-morbidities, anxiety or depression was most often recorded (11 %, respectively). The proportion of patients with pruritus and related comorbid conditions increased with psoriasis severity. The disease negatively affected the quality of patients’ life (the average value of DLQI was 7.1) and their work productivity (a decrease in the work productivity reached 33.2 %), with these indicators deteriorating with psoriasis severity. Despite the dominance of moderate and severe psoriasis forms among the participants, 60 % of the patients received therapy only with topical medications. The concordance rate between the patients and the dermatologists concerning the estimation of psoriasis severity and treatment satisfaction was low.Conclusion. Despite the therapy with systemic drugs, the patients' quality of life affected by severe or moderate psoriasis forms remained low. The consistency between the views on the treatment success between the patients and the dermatologists was low.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis causes work productivity impairment that increases with disease severity. Whether differential treatment efficacy translates into differential indirect cost savings is unknown. Objective To assess work hours lost and indirect costs associated with secukinumab versus ustekinumab and etanercept in the United Kingdom (UK). Methods This was a post hoc analysis of work impairment data collected in the CLEAR study (secukinumab vs. ustekinumab) and applied to the FIXTURE study (secukinumab vs. etanercept). Weighted weekly and annual average indirect costs per patient per treatment were calculated from (i) overall work impairment derived from Work Productivity and Activity Impairment data collected in CLEAR at 16 and 52 weeks by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) response level; (ii) weekly/annual work productivity loss by PASI response level; (iii) weekly and annual indirect costs by PASI response level, based on hours of work productivity loss; and (iv) weighted average indirect costs for each treatment. In the primary analysis, work impairment data for employed patients in CLEAR at Week 16 were used to compare secukinumab and ustekinumab. Secondary analyses were conducted at different time points and with patient cohorts, including FIXTURE. Results In CLEAR, 452 patients (67%) were employed at baseline. At Week 16, percentages of weekly work impairment/mean hours lost decreased with higher PASI: PASI < 50: 22.8%/7.60 h; PASI 50–74: 13.3%/4.45 h; PASI 75–89: 6.4%/2.14 h; PASI ≥ 90: 4.9%/1.65 h. Weighted mean weekly/annual work hours lost were significantly lower for secukinumab than ustekinumab (1.96/102.51 vs. 2.40/125.12; P = 0.0006). Results were consistent for secukinumab versus etanercept (2.29/119.67 vs. 3.59/187.17; Ρ<0.0001). Average annual indirect cost savings with secukinumab were £355 vs. ustekinumab and £1061 versus etanercept. Results at 52 weeks were similar. Conclusions Secukinumab significantly reduced work impairment and associated indirect costs of psoriasis compared with ustekinumab and etanercept at Week 16 through 52 in the United Kingdom.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secukinumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that selectively neutralizes interleukin 17A, has demonstrated strong and sustained efficacy in adults with moderate to severe psoriasis in clinical trials. OBJECTIVE This analysis compared the cost per responder of secukinumab as first biologic treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis, with adalimumab, infliximab, etanercept and ustekinumab in Germany. METHODS A 52-week decision-tree model was developed. Response to treatment was assessed based on the likelihood of achieving a predefined Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) response to separate the cohort into responders (PASI ≥75), partial responders (PASI 50 to 74) and non-responders (PASI <50). Responders at week 16 continued initial treatment, whereas partial responders and non-responders were switched to standard of care, which included methotrexate, cyclosporine, phototherapy and topical corticosteroids. Sustained response was defined as 16-week response maintained at week 52. A German healthcare system perspective was adopted. Clinical efficacy data were obtained from a mixed-treatment comparison; 2016 resource unit costs from national sources; and adverse events and discontinuation rates from the literature. We calculated cost per PASI 90 responder over week 16 and week 52, as well as cost per sustained responder between weeks 16 and 52. RESULTS Secukinumab had the lowest cost per PASI 90 responder over 16 weeks (€18 026) compared with ustekinumab (€18 080), adalimumab (€23 499), infliximab (€29 599) and etanercept (€34 037). Over 52 weeks, costs per PASI 90 responder ranged from €42 409 (secukinumab) to €70 363 (etanercept). Likewise, secukinumab had the lowest cost per sustained 52-week PASI 90 responder (€22 690) compared with other biologic treatments. Sensitivity analyses, excluding patient copayments, showed similar results. CONCLUSIONS First biologic treatment with secukinumab for moderate to severe psoriasis is cost-effective, with lowest cost per responder compared with other biologic treatments in Germany.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease, characterized by symptoms that include itching and skin pain and is often associated with comorbidities. Patients have a substantial detriment to quality of life (QoL) and work productivity with associated cost burden. OBJECTIVES To investigate the incremental burden of comorbidities, itch and affected body areas among systemic eligible patients with psoriasis, using a multinational survey of dermatologists and their patients with psoriasis. METHODS Multinational data from the Growth from Knowledge (GfK) Disease Atlas Global Real-World Evidence program were used. Eligible patients were identified as those who were currently having or had ever had moderate-to-severe psoriasis, and must have been receiving prescription treatments at the time of the survey. Multivariable regression analyses were conducted to assess the incremental burden among psoriasis patients with physical and psychological comorbidities, itch and affected visible and sensitive body areas vs. psoriasis patients without these conditions, respectively. RESULTS The study enrolled 3821 patients with psoriasis, from nine countries, with an average Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score of 6·4. The presence of comorbidities was associated with a significant increase in the likelihood of skin pain, lower QoL, greater work impairment and increased usage of medical resources (except in psoriasis patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes). Psoriasis patients suffering from itch and those with visible and sensitive affected body areas also had impaired QoL vs. those without these conditions. CONCLUSIONS Psoriasis patients with physical and psychological comorbidities, itch and affected visible and sensitive body areas had lower QoL and greater work impairment compared to those without these conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The appearance and lifelong, chronic nature of psoriasis result in considerable burden to patients, such as sleep impairment, depressive symptoms, negative self-esteem and reduced work productivity. OBJECTIVES To examine direct and indirect (mediated) effects of secukinumab vs. ustekinumab on quality of life, work productivity and activity impairment based on psoriasis severity and symptoms. METHODS Analyses were based on data from the CLEAR study. Structural equation modelling examined the effects of secukinumab vs. ustekinumab on the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and on the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire using Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) severity and symptoms (pain, itching and scaling) as potential mediators. Analyses were conducted primarily for patients achieving a PASI 90 response (90% or greater reduction in PASI from baseline) at week 16 (repeated at week 52) and for PASI 50, 75 and 100. RESULTS Results at weeks 16 and 52 showed that the effect of treatment on change in DLQI score was mediated by the PASI 90 response and by improvements in itching, pain, and scaling. Achieving any PASI response as early as week 16 directly resulted in significantly better WPAI scores. At week 52, both PASI response and improvement in scaling directly resulted in significantly better WPAI scores. Pain, itching and scaling were correlated (r = 0·51-0·68); improvement in any of these had a significant effect (directly or indirectly) on WPAI. All results favoured secukinumab over ustekinumab. CONCLUSIONS The results underscore the important role of both PASI response and reduction in symptoms on improvements in health-related quality of life and work and daily activity in favour of secukinumab vs. ustekinumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secukinumab has demonstrated greater sustained skin clearance than ustekinumab through week 52, greater improvement in symptoms and health-related quality of life, and comparable safety profile. OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of secukinumab versus that of ustekinumab on complete relief from psoriasis-related symptoms, time to response in terms of health-related quality of life, and cumulative benefit among patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS Psoriasis-related pain, itching, and scaling and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score were compared between treatments on the basis of time to complete relief of symptoms and time to DLQI response in the CLEAR trial. Cumulative benefit over 52 weeks based on Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score, symptom relief, and DLQI response were evaluated by area under the curve analysis. RESULTS Significantly more patients treated with secukinumab achieved complete relief of pain at weeks 16 and 52 (all P < .05). Complete relief of itching and scaling occurred significantly faster with secukinumab (median, 4 weeks faster for itching and 8 weeks faster for scaling [P < .001]). Response as measured by the DLQI was 4 weeks faster with secukinumab (P < .0001). Cumulative benefits were greater with secukinumab (all P < .05). LIMITATIONS Analyses were post hoc. CONCLUSION This patient-reported outcome analysis confirms greater and sustained benefits of secukinumab versus those of ustekinumab treatment on patients' lives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secukinumab has demonstrated significant efficacy with a good safety profile through 1 year in plaque psoriasis. Given the chronic nature of this disease, long-term follow-up is needed to evaluate psoriasis therapies fully. OBJECTIVES To determine the long-term (3-year) efficacy and safety of secukinumab in moderate-to-severe psoriasis. METHODS Patients completing 52 weeks of secukinumab treatment in the SCULPTURE core study entered an extension in which they continued the same double-blind regimens. Dosing regimens included a fixed-interval schedule (FI; every 4 weeks) and retreatment as needed (RAN), in which patients were withdrawn from secukinumab and received placebo until the start of relapse, at which time secukinumab every 4 weeks was reinitiated. The study was registered with number NCT01640951. RESULTS In total 168 patients receiving secukinumab 300 mg FI and 172 receiving secukinumab 300 mg RAN entered the extension. Secukinumab 300 mg FI sustained high efficacy: at the end of year 3, the proportion of responders achieving ≥ 90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) was 63·8%, and of PASI 100 responders it was 42·6%. The mean absolute PASI remained low (2-4) from week 52 to week 152 with 300 mg FI, with approximately two-thirds of patients reporting no impact of skin disease on their lives (Dermatology Life Quality Index of 0 or 1). Improvements in overall and subscale scores on all quality-of-life instruments were well sustained. As in the core study, FI dosing was consistently more efficacious than RAN. No new safety signals were identified to year 3. CONCLUSIONS Secukinumab 300 mg FI sustained high responses and improved quality of life with no new safety concerns through 3 years.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis can greatly impact patients’ lives by influencing clothing worn as well as by impairing sexual functioning. Secukinumab, a human monoclonal antibody selectively neutralizing interleukin‐17A, has demonstrated good efficacy and safety in the treatment of moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with a rapid onset of action and sustained response. Objective This analysis using the CLEAR study, a phase 3b double‐blind study comparing the efficacy and safety of secukinumab vs. ustekinumab in adults with moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis, evaluated the treatment effects on patient's daily activities and personal relationships. Methods Impact on daily activities (interference with home/shopping/garden, and influence on clothes worn) and impact on personal relationships (problems with partner/others, and sexual difficulties) as well as their corresponding subscales were selected from the Dermatology Life Quality Index scale and evaluated for patients treated with secukinumab vs. ustekinumab from the CLEAR study. Treatment differences in mean scores and proportions of responders (score = 0, indicating no impact) were evaluated through 52 weeks. Time to response was evaluated through Week 16. Results Significant differences between secukinumab and ustekinumab were observed for daily activities and personal relationships at Week 16 and sustained through Week 52 (Week 52 response rates for daily activities: 82.9% vs. 73.5%, including interference with home/shopping/garden: 88.5% vs. 78.2%, and influence on clothes worn: 85.6% vs. 74.4%; personal relationships: 86.1% vs. 73.7%, including problems with partner/others: 86.6% vs. 74.8%, and sexual difficulties: 88.5% vs. 74.3%; all P < 0.01). The median time to response was 4 weeks for secukinumab vs. 8 weeks for ustekinumab for daily activities and personal relationships (both P < 0.05). Conclusion Secukinumab treatment helps patients with moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis have a more normal life faster when compared to ustekinumab, by providing greater and sustained improvement in clothing choice and sexual functioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Moderate-to-severe psoriasis is associated with reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Individuals with psoriasis are at increased risk for other medical conditions, but little information quantifies the incremental burden of psoriasis-associated comorbidity among European adults, and data have generally been limited to clinical samples. OBJECTIVE To quantify the incremental burden of cardiovascular comorbidity and psoriatic arthritis among adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the general population of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom (EU5). METHODS All measures were self-reported and came from the 2010-2013 EU5 National Health and Wellness Surveys (NHWS). Moderate-to-severe psoriasis was identified by >10% body surface area affected by psoriasis and/or use of therapies for moderate-severe disease. Outcomes were SF-12v2/SF-36v2 mental and physical component summary scores (MCS and PCS, respectively), SF-6D health utility, Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire and healthcare use in the past 6 months. Generalized linear models compared across cardiovascular comorbidity (CV) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) groups vs. non-CV or non-PsA groups with appropriate link functions to adjust for covariates. RESULTS Among moderate-to-severe psoriasis respondents (n = 957), 19.8% (n = 190) reported CV comorbidity and 12.3% (n = 118) reported PsA. After adjustment for covariates, CV comorbidity was associated with 3.0 points lower MCS, 3.4 points lower PCS and 0.05 points lower SF-6D (all P < 0.01). Likewise, they had greater mean work impairment (48% vs. 33%), more activity impairment (48% vs. 37%), and more healthcare provider visits (8.8 vs. 6.9), emergency room visits (0.65 vs. 0.31) and hospitalizations (0.61 vs. 0.22) (all P < 0.05). Compared to non-PsA respondents, PsA respondents also had worse mean MCS (2.6 points), PCS (6.3 points) and SF-6D scores (0.07 points), and more work impairment (52% vs. 34%), activity impairment (54% vs. 38%) and healthcare provider visits (10.5 vs. 6.9) (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION CV comorbidity and PsA were associated with significant incremental burden among EU5 adults with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic condition with negative impact on patients' quality of life that most often requires lifelong effective and safe treatment. OBJECTIVE This analysis focused on the effect of secukinumab treatment on patient-reported health-related quality of life as assessed by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. METHODS The proportion of subjects achieving DLQI score 0/1 response at week 24, time to DLQI score 0/1 response, and sustained DLQI score 0/1 response up to week 52 were compared between secukinumab and etanercept. RESULTS Of 1470 subjects, 1144 received secukinumab and 326 received etanercept. DLQI score 0/1 response rates were significantly higher for secukinumab than for etanercept at week 24. The median time to DLQI score 0/1 response was significantly shorter for secukinumab versus etanercept (12 vs 24 weeks; P < .01). The majority of secukinumab-treated subjects achieved DLQI score 0/1 response at week 24 and sustained it through week 52 along with a 90% to 100% reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index total score response. LIMITATIONS Placebo comparisons are limited during the maintenance period because of rerandomization at week 12. CONCLUSION Secukinumab treatment provided faster and greater sustained improvements in quality of life than etanercept over 52 weeks, consistent with greater clinical response.

Abstract
In patients with advanced melanoma in the CheckMate 066 study, baseline health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with nivolumab was maintained over time, with statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in some exploratory analyses, and no HRQoL improvements with dacarbazine. Added to the survival benefit of nivolumab, the benefit-to-risk ratio favors nivolumab over dacarbazine. Background Nivolumab has shown significant survival benefit and a favorable safety profile compared with dacarbazine chemotherapy among treatment-naïve patients with metastatic melanoma in the CheckMate 066 phase III study. Results from the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) analyses from CheckMate 066 are presented. Patients and methods HRQoL was evaluated at baseline and every 6 weeks while on treatment using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Care (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the EuroQoL Five Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D). Via a multi-step statistical plan, data were analyzed descriptively, cross-sectionally, and longitudinally, adjusting for baseline covariates, in patients having baseline plus ≥1 post-baseline assessment. Results Baseline-adjusted completion rates for all HRQoL questionnaires across treatment arms were 65% and 70% for dacarbazine and nivolumab, respectively, and remained similar throughout treatment. The mean baseline HRQoL scores were similar for patients treated with nivolumab and dacarbazine. Baseline HRQoL levels with nivolumab were maintained over time. This exploratory analysis showed a between-arm difference in favor of nivolumab on the EQ-5D utility index and clinically meaningful EQ-5D improvements from baseline at several time points for patients receiving nivolumab. Patients treated with nivolumab did not show increased symptom burden as assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30. No HRQoL change was noted with dacarbazine patients up to week 43, although the high attrition rate after week 13 did not allow any meaningful analyses. Patients receiving nivolumab deteriorated significantly later than those receiving dacarbazine on several EORTC QLQ-C30 scales and the EQ-5D utility index. Conclusions In addition to prolonged survival, these exploratory HRQoL results show that nivolumab maintains baseline HRQoL levels to provide long-term quality of survival benefit, compared with dacarbazine in patients with advanced melanoma.

Abstract
BCR-ABL inhibitors for treating chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase have transformed a previously incurable malignancy into a manageable condition. However, suboptimal medication adherence has been observed with these agents affecting clinical outcomes and healthcare costs. In order to raise awareness of the problem of adherence, and before developing pragmatic strategies to enhance medication adherence, a deep understanding of the best approaches for measuring adherence in chronic myeloid leukemia patients and identifying non-adherence is required. A systematic literature review on the prevalence, measurement methods, consequences and risk factors for non-adherence to BCR-ABL inhibitors and adherence-enhancing interventions was performed and critically appraised. Of the 19 included articles, 9 were retrospective. Average adherence varied from 19% to almost 100% of the proportion of prescribed drug taken, but it was measured through various different methods and within different study groups. Suboptimal adherence was associated with a negative impact on both clinical and economic outcomes. There is a lack of supportive evidence demonstrating a difference in adherence across BCR-ABL inhibitors and even contradictory results between the 2(nd) generation inhibitors. Drug-related adverse events and forgetfulness were common reasons for intentional and unintentional non-adherence, respectively, but further research is required to identify additional reasons behind non-adherence or patients at risk of non-adherence. Non-adherence in chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with BCR-ABL inhibitors is common and associated with critical outcomes. However, this review highlights important existing gaps, reveals inconsistent definitions, and a lack of standardized methods for measuring adherence in chronic myeloid leukemia. All require further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Informal caregivers for patients with cancer provide critical emotional and instrumental support, but this role can cause substantial burden. This study expands our understanding of cancer-related caregiving burden in Europe. METHODS Caregivers (n = 1,713) for patients with cancer and non-caregivers (n = 103,868) were identified through the 2010 and 2011 European Union National Health and Wellness Survey, administered via the Internet to adult populations in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Respondents completed measures of sociodemographics and health behaviors, health-related quality of life (using SF-12v2), work productivity and activity impairment (using WPAI), healthcare resource use (emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and traditional provider visits), and reported diagnosis of stress-related comorbidities (depression, anxiety, insomnia, headache, migraine, and gastrointestinal problems). Two-sided tests of means or proportions compared caregivers against non-caregivers. Multivariable regression models, comparing caregivers for patients with any cancer vs. non-caregivers on all health outcomes, adjusted for covariates (age, sex, college, income, marital status, employment, body mass index, alcohol, smoking, and Charlson comorbidity index). RESULTS Caregivers for patients with cancer vs. non-caregivers reported significant (P < 0.05) impairment across all health outcomes, even after adjusting for several confounds (e.g., 3.26-point lower mental health status, 0.043-point lower health utilities, 1.46 times as much work impairment, and 1.97 times the odds of anxiety). CONCLUSIONS Caregivers for patients with cancer experienced significant impairments. These findings reinforce the need for enhancing our understanding of the caregiving experience and developing supportive and personalized multicomponent interventions for caregivers, given their pivotal role in providing support for patients.

Abstract
Objective.To investigate sleep problems, and the relationship between sleep and disease activity, in Belgian patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.This cross-sectional, observational, multicenter study assessed sleep quality using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and daytime sleepiness using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Additional patient-reported outcomes included visual analog scales (VAS) for fatigue and pain, the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 Health Survey, the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Multivariate regression and structural equation modeling identified factors associated with sleep quality, with the 28-joint Disease Activity Score [DAS28-C-reactive protein (CRP)] as a continuous or categorical variable. Analyses were performed on the total population and on patients stratified by disease activity status: remission/low (DAS28-CRP ≤ 3.2) or moderate to high (DAS28-CRP > 3.2).Results.Among 305 patients, mean (SD) age was 57.00 (12.38) years and mean (SD) disease duration was 11.77 (9.94) years. Mean (SD) AIS, PSQI, and ESS scores were 6.8 (4.79), 7.8 (4.30), and 7.3 (4.67), respectively. Mean (SD) VAS fatigue, VAS pain, and HAQ-DI were 45.22 (26.29), 39.04 (26.21), and 1.08 (0.75), respectively. There were significant positive relationships between DAS28-CRP and AIS/PSQI, but a significant negative relationship between DAS28-CRP and ESS. Several potentially confounding factors were identified.Conclusions.Poor control of RA is associated with a reduction in sleep quality and decreased daytime sleepiness, which is likely explained by pain-related alertness. Future prospective studies are needed to confirm potential relationships between sleep quality, sleepiness, and RA treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In the 1-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled ATTEST trial, efficacy of abatacept or infliximab versus placebo was reported in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an inadequate response to methotrexate (MTX). The current study estimated trial-based and real-life costs of abatacept and infliximab for achieving pre-defined remission or low disease activity state (LDAS). METHODS Quantity of drug, serious adverse event (SAE) rates and time (months) in remission or LDAS were taken from ATTEST for the trial-based calculation to derive a cost per remitting/LDAS patient and a cost per patient-month in remission/LDAS. Trial-based and real-life scenarios were performed. RESULTS The annual trial-based costs per remitting/LDAS patient were €70.238/€37.208 for abatacept and €85.565/€46.602 for infliximab. In the first 6 months of the ATTEST trial, costs per patient-month in remission/LDAS were higher for abatacept (€11.024 and €6.018, respectively), relative to infliximab (€8.347 and €4.174, respectively). Over the full 12-month trial period cost per month in remission/LDAS estimates were only slightly in favour of infliximab (€6.959/€3.625) relative to abatacept (€7.297/€3.909). Assuming extension of treatment under real life conditions the cost per month in remission/LDAS turned substantially in favour of abatacept (€5.321/€2.819), as compared to infliximab (€7.189/€3.916). The higher initiation cost for abatacept to achieve remission/LDAS would be offset after a total 14.6 and 16.1 months of treatment, respectively, if treatment extended beyond 6 months under real-life conditions. These results proved to be robust when it was assumed that the (i) sharing of vials across patients completely averted infliximab wastage, (ii) AE risks were similar and (iii) onset of response was slower for abatacept. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest a lower cost-consequence for abatacept during real-life treatment.
