AB0793 Efficacy of IXEKIZUMAB improving SF-36 scores in biologic dmard-naive patients with active psoriatic arthritis: results from a phase 3 study (SPIRIT-P1)

Background In a phase 3 randomized controlled trial (RCT), ixekizumab (IXE), a high affinity mAb that selectively targets interleukin-17A, significantly improved signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (PSA)and health status vs placebo (PBO)1. Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of IXE improving patient (pt)-reported health status, assessed by Short Form Survey (SF-36) physical and mental component summary (PCS and MCS) and domain scores in pts with active PSA vs PBO, compared with age-and gender (A/G)-matched population normative scores2. Methods In phase 3 RCT (SPIRIT-P1; NCT01695239), bDMARD-naive pts with active PSA (N=417) randomly received IXE 80 mg either once every 4 Wks (Q4W) or 2 Wks (Q2W) after a 160 mg starting dose, or 40 mg adalimumab (ADA) Q2W, or PBO (all subcutaneous). Health status was assessed by SF-36 at baseline, Wk 12, and Wk 24. Treatment comparisons were by mixed model for repeated measures for continuous data and logistic regression for categorical data. Missing values were imputed by nonresponder imputation. Results Baseline SF-36 scores were similar across treatment groups. At Wk 24, significant improvements vs PBO were observed with ADA and IXEQ2W for PCS, and 5/8 domains (PF, RP, BP, GH, and RE), and with IXEQ4W for PCS and 6/8 domains (except VT and MH) (Figure) (post hoc for individual domains). In pts with baseline scores Conclusions In pts with active PSA, both IXE and ADA treatment groups reported significant improvements in pt-reported health status as assessed by SF-36 and the majority of its individual domains, both in the general trial population, and in the subgroup of pts with baseline scores References Mease PJ et al.
