Axial Involvement

Background:Evidence on the efficacy of biologics in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients with axial manifestations affecting 30-70% of PsA patients is limited. Secukinumab (SEC) has provided significant and sustained improvement in the signs and symptoms of active PsA and ankylosing spondylitis.Objectives:This study aims to analyze the experience of using SEC for PsA patients with axial involvement in real-world setting.Methods:Multicentric observational, longitudinal, retrospective study conducted in a tertiary hospital between January 2016 and December 2019. Patients with PsA (CASPAR criteria) and clinical and/or image diagnosis of axial involvement receiving at least one dose of SEC were included. Patients with non-pathological sacroiliacs x-ray and MRI had to have spinal pain VAS ≥4/10 after failure to NSAIDs, prior to the onset of SEC, to be included. Medical records were reviewed to collect demographic and clinical data, features of PsA (manifestations, treatments and activity assessment). Descriptive statistics and then a comparative analysis with the Studentt-test to analyze the effectiveness of SEC were performed.Results:Of 98 PsA patients treated with SEC, 58 (59.2%) had axial involvement, of which 41 (71%) female. Mean age was 54 y.o (SD 10) and average duration of the disease was 10 years (SD 8). All 58 patients had peripheral disease (33% joint erosions), 55 (95%) had psoriasis, 20 (34%) showed dactilitis and 39 (67%) had enthesitis. Sacroiliacs x-ray was damaged in 38 (66%) patients (grade I-IV) and 23 (40%) pathological MRI, with HLAB27+ at 8 (14%) patients. Average BMI was 29 (SD 8), with an obesity rate of 33% (19 pt). Observed comorbidities were hypertension (27 pt, 47%), diabetes mellitus (6 pt, 10%), dyslipidemia (23 pt, 40%), active smoking (18 pt, 31%) and malignancy (6 pt, 10%). Regarding previous treatments, 90% had received cDMARDs, particularly methotrexate (86%) and 40 (69%) had been exposed to at least one bDMARD (15 pt to one, 9 to two, 6 to three and 10 to four or more). 7 patients were on 300 mg dose and 51 patients on 150 mg dose (dose escalation to 300 mg was performed in 16 patients and 44% respond and maintain SEC). Average drug survival time was 1.4 (SD 1) years. At 6 months of SEC therapy, tender and swollen joint count, spinal pain VAS, CRP, ASDAS-CRP and DAPSA had significantly decreased (Table 1). 29 (50%) patients suspended SEC during follow-up due to primary ineffectiveness (8), secondary ineffectiveness (16), adverse events (3), latex allergy (1) and remission (1). Adverse events do not differ from those reported in clinical trials.Table 1.Disease activity assessment at 6 months of secukinumab therapy.Baseline6 months after SECMean differenceP valueSJC4,8±5,41,9±3,1-2,8 (IC95% -3,9 a -1,7)p<0,0001TJC7,7±5,83,9±4,1-3,8 (IC95% -5,1 a -2,4)p<0,0001Spinal pVAS6,1±3,24,2±2,9-1,9 (IC95% -2,4 a -1,4)p<0,0001CRP (mg/L)7,7±9,94,9±5,9-2,9 (IC95% -4,5 a -1,2)p=0,0009ASDAS-CRP2,5±1,91,8±1,3-0,7 (IC95% -0,9 a -0,4)p<0,0001DAPSA27,7±12,116,7±10,4-11 (IC95% -15,3 a -6,8)p<0,0001SJC: swollen joint count, TJC: tender joint count, Spinal pVAS: spinal pain visual analog scale, CRP: C-reactive protein, SEC: secukinumab.Conclusion:Secukinumab in real-world setting provided improvements in the axial and peripheral manifestations of PsA, using both the 150 mg and 300 mg doses.Disclosure of Interests:MARIA MARTIN LOPEZ: None declared, Beatriz Joven-Ibáñez Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Celgene, Janssen, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Novartis, Pfizer, José Luis Pablos: None declared

ObjectivesRecent results from ‘ORAL Surveillance’ trial have raised concerns regarding the cardiovascular safety of tofacitinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We further examined this safety concern in the real-world setting.MethodsWe created two cohorts of patients with RA initiating treatment with tofacitinib or tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFI) using deidentified data from Optum Clinformatics (2012–2020), IBM MarketScan (2012–2018) and Medicare (parts A, B and D, 2012–2017) claims databases: (1) A ‘real-world evidence (RWE) cohort’ consisting of routine care patients and (2) A ‘randomised controlled trial (RCT)-duplicate cohort’ mimicking inclusion and exclusion criteria of the ORAL surveillance trial to calibrate results against the trial findings. Cox proportional hazards models with propensity score fine stratification weighting were used to estimate HR and 95% CIs for composite outcome of myocardial infarction and stroke and accounting for 76 potential confounders. Database-specific effect estimates were pooled using fixed effects models with inverse-variance weighting.ResultsIn the RWE cohort, 102 263 patients were identified of whom 12 852 (12.6%) initiated tofacitinib. The pooled weighted HR (95% CI) comparing tofacitinib with TNFI was 1.01 (0.83 to 1.23) in RWE cohort and 1.24 (0.90 to 1.69) in RCT-duplicate cohort which aligned closely with ORAL-surveillance results (HR: 1.33, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.94).ConclusionsWe did not find evidence for an increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes with tofacitinib in patients with RA treated in the real-world setting; however, tofacitinib was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes, although statistically non-significant, in patients with RA with cardiovascular risk factors.Trial registration numberNCT04772248.

e24072 Background: The prophylaxis of neutropenia has been evolving from short acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) to long acting G-CSFs. The safety and effectiveness of long acting G-CSF in a real-world setting were still lacking. Methods: We performed a multi-center, non-interventional, real-world study to explore the tolerability and effectiveness of mecapegfilgrastim. Different prophylactic strategy (primary or secondary prophylaxis) were compared. The effect of mecapegfilgrastim by means of continuous administration was also explored. Results: This study included 638 patients who had complete the study from May 2019 to November 15, 2020. About half of the participants were breast cancer patients. The mean age of the patients were 56 years. The most frequently reported adverse event possibly related to study drug was white blood cell increase (6.2 %). No unexpected adverse events were reported. Overall, thirty-six (5.6 %) patients experienced grade ≥ 3 neutropenia in chemotherapy cycle one. The patients in the primary and secondary prophylaxis subgroups had incidence of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia of 4.3 % and 9.2 % in chemotherapy cycle one respectively. There was a decreasing trend of neutropenia from cycle one to cycle four when mecapegfilgrastim were administrated continuously. Conclusions: The mecapegfilgrastim was well tolerable and no unexpected adverse events were observed in real-world setting. Primary prophylaxis using mecapegfilgrastim had lower incidence of neutropenia than secondary usage.

e19294 Background: Immune checkpoint blockade through PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibition is an effective treatment for multiple cancers. This study used administrative claims to examine potential adverse events (AEs) associated with real-world PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor use. Methods: Adult patients newly initiating a PD-1 (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) or PD-L1 (atezolizumab, avelumab, or durvalumab) inhibitor from September 1, 2016 to August 30, 2018 were selected in the MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental Database. Patients were grouped by use of PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor; the study period consisted of 90 days baseline and 60 days follow-up around drug initiation. Patients who used both PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors during follow-up were excluded. Clinical characteristics were examined during baseline, while AEs were investigated over follow-up. Results: A total of 6,430 patients qualified for the analysis. The majority of the sample (N = 5,956; 93%) received PD-1 inhibitors. Compared to the PD-1 cohort, the PD-L1 cohort was older (64±10 vs. 61±12 yrs) and more likely to be male (61% vs. 56%), p < 0.05. PD-L1 patients were significantly more likely to have history of chronic pulmonary disease (28% vs. 23%) or myocardial infarction (4% vs. 3%) but less likely to have liver disease (2% vs. 0.6%) compared to PD-1 patients, p < 0.05. Lung cancer was the most common diagnosis in both groups (PD-1: 47%; PD-L1: 62%, p < 0.001). The PD-L1 cohort was more likely to have evidence of bladder cancer (36% vs. 5%), while the PD-1 cohort was more likely to have a melanoma (19% vs. 0.8%) or renal cell carcinoma diagnosis (10% vs. 7%), p < 0.05. Over half of the PD-1 (65%) and PD-L1 (61%) patients had metastatic cancer diagnosis during the study period. Incident AEs occurring in > 5% of the sample included dyspnea (PD-1: 13%; PD-L1: 14%), nausea/vomiting (PD-1: 11%; PD-L1: 8%, p < 0.05), anemia (PD-1: 11%; PD-L1: 12%), fatigue (PD-1: 10%; PD-L1: 12%), abdominal pain (PD-1: 7%; PD-L1: 7%), cough (PD-1: 7%; PD-L1: 10%, p < 0.05), back pain (PD-1: 7%; PD-L1: 10%, p < 0.05), constipation (PD-1: 6%; PD-L1: 8%), arthralgia (PD-1: 6%; PD-L1: 6%), pyrexia (PD-1: 5%; PD-L1: 8%, p < 0.01), and edema (PD-1: 6%; PD-L1: 5%). Conclusions: This study assessed real-world AEs associated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor use in the 60 days following first treatment. Results showed AEs are common soon after starting therapy. Although, PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors target the same pathway, slightly different AE profiles exist for the two classes. More longitudinal analyses of real-world AEs are needed to better understand potential impacts of prolonged therapy.
