Background:Long-term observational data on the real-life use of JAK inhibitors (JAKis) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their comparison with biological drugs are still very limited. Large population-based registries have been increasingly used to investigate the performance of targeted drugs in a real-life setting.Objectives:The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the 3-year retention rate of JAKis, TNF inhibitors (TNFis) and biologic drugs with other mechanisms of action (OMAs) in the large cohort of RA patients included in the Italian national GISEA registry.Methods:Data of all RA patients treated with targeted synthetic or biologic drugs were prospectively collected in the Italian multicentric GISEA registry. The analysis was limited to patients who started a first- or second-line targeted drug in the period after the first JAKi was marketed in Italy (1st December 2017). The 3-year retention rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between different drug classes by a log-rank test. A descriptive analysis of reasons for discontinuation was performed.Results:The study population included 1027 RA patients (79.8% females, mean age [±SD] 56.9 [±13.5] years, mean disease duration 9.8 [±9] years, mean baseline SDAI 17.5 [±11.9], ACPA positive 67.4%, RF positive 62.7%) who received JAKis (baricitinib or tofacitinib, n=297), TNFis (n=365), or OMAs (n=365) as first or second targeted drug. Main baseline characteristics of study population were overall well balanced between treatment groups. Retention rate was numerically but not statistically higher (p=0.18) in patients treated with JAKis compared with TNFis or OMAs (80.6, 78.9 and 76.4% at 1 year and 73, 56.8 and 63.8% at 3 years, respectively) (Figure 1). Drug survival was significantly higher in patients receiving concomitant methotrexate (MTX) compared with monotherapy only in TNFis (66.8 vs 47.1%, p=0.04) but not in JAKis (76.1 vs 70.1%, p=0.54) and OMAs (66.1 vs 61.9%, p=0.41) group. Therapy was discontinued in a total of 211 patients because of ineffectiveness (n=107), adverse events (n=88), or compliance/other reasons (n=16). The most frequent reason for treatment withdrawal was ineffectiveness in both JAKis (n=30 out of 56) and TNFis (n=45 out of 74) groups, whereas OMAs were discontinued more frequently because of adverse events (n=41 out of 81).Conclusion:Our data confirmed in a real-life setting a favorable 3-year retention rate of all available targeted mechanisms of action for RA therapy. As expected, concomitant MTX significantly impacted persistence on therapy of TNFis only. Discontinuations of JAKis for adverse events were infrequent overall, confirming the safety profile observed in randomized clinical trials.Figure 1.Three-year retention rate by treatment groupDisclosure of Interests:None declared

The Impact

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common autoimmune disease. Older patients treated with biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs) are at a significantly greater risk of adverse effects (AEs) [1]. However, the rate of drug discontinuation because of adverse effects caused by bDMARDs has not differed in elderly compared to younger patients in different registries.Objectives:Determine if drug discontinuation of bDMARDs differs by age in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the Mexican Adverse Events Registry (BIOBADAMEX).Methods:BIOBADAMEX is a Mexican ongoing cohort of patients using bDMARDs since 2016. In this analysis we included all patients with diagnosis of RA with at least two assessments. Survival on bDMARDs was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Predictors of discontinuation, including age older than median age in the sample were investigated by Cox regression analyses.Results:Among 743 patients in the registry, 497 had RA diagnosis, from which, 214 had at least two assessments. At baseline, patients had a median (IQR) age of 53.4 (45-61) years old, median disease duration of 10.7 (6-17) months and median DAS28 of 4.7 (3-6). Conventional DMARDS were used by 185 (87%) patients and 94 (44%) patients used corticosteroids. Comorbidities were present in 194 (91%). The most common bDMARDs received at baseline were abatacept 59 (27%), tocilizumab 45(21%), adalimumab 31 (15%) and certolizumab 30 (14%). At the time of analysis, the median bDMARDs treatment duration was 21.0(13-34) months, 128 (59%) had discontinued treatment, 66 for inefficacy, 32 for adverse events and 30 for others. Fig 1 shows discontinuation rate curves in patients younger and older than median age. Cox proportional-hazards demonstrated no significant differences regarding age older than median age (HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.8-1.4, p=0.7), female sex (HR 1.2, 95% CI 0.7-1.9, p=0.44), use of corticosteroids (HR 1.2, 95% CI 0.9-1.6, p=0.20), comorbidities (HR 0.9, 95% 0.6-1.5, p=0.78), DAS28 (HR 0.9, 95% 0.9-1.1, p=0.93) or other factors.Figure 1.Discontinuation rate curves in patients younger and older than median age (< 53.4 and >=53.4 years old)Conclusion:This analysis did not show a role of age on discontinuation of bDMARDs in Mexican RA patients. Further longitudinal analyses will be performed including more patients to assess retention rate of bDMARDs and identify predictive variables of discontinuation in Mexican population.References:[1]Akter R, et al.

Background:The available biosimilars of etanercept are as effective and well tolerated as their bio originator molecule in the naive treatment of chronic autoimmune arthritis. More data about the switching from the bio originator are needed.Objectives:To compare the clinical outcomes of the treatment with etanercept biosimilars (SB4 and GP2015) naïve and after the switch from their corresponding originator in patients affected by autoimmune arthritis in a real life settingMethods:We retrospectively analyzed the baseline characteristics and the retention rate in a cohort of patients who received at least a course of etanercept (originator or biosimilar) in our Rheumatology Units from January 2000 to January 2020. We stratified the study population according to biosimilar use. Descriptive data are presented by medians (interquartile range [IQR]) for continuous data or as numbers (percentages) for categorical data. Drug survival distribution curves were computed by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by a stratified log-rank test. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis stratified by indication, drug, age, disease duration, sex, treatment line, biosimilar use and prescription year was performed. P values≤0.05 were considered statistically significant.Results:477 patients (65% female, median age 56 [46-75] years, median disease duration 97 [40.25-178.75] months) treated with etanercept were included in the analysis. 257 (53.9%) were affect by rheumatoid arthritis, 139 (29.1%) by psoriatic arthritis, and 81 (17%) by axial spondylarthritis. 298 (62.5%) were treated with etanercept originator, 97 (20.3%) with SB4, and 82 (17.2%) with GP2015. Among the biosimilars 90/179 (50.3%) patients were naïve to etanercept treatment. Among the 89 switchers we observed 8 treatment discontinuations: one due to surgical infection complication, three due to disease flare, two due to subjective worsening and one due to remission. The overall 6- and 12-month retentions rate were 92.8% and 80.2%. The 6- and 12-month retention rate for etanercept, SB4 and GP2015 were 92.7%, 93.4% and 90.2%, and 82%, 74.5% and 88.1% respectively, without significant differences among the three groups (p=0.374). Patients switching from originator to biosimilars showed and overall higher treatment survival when compared to naive (12-month retention rate 81.2% vs 70.8%, p=0.036). The Cox proportional hazard regression analysis highlighted that the only predictor significantly associated with an overall higher risk of treatment discontinuation was the year of prescription (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.13; p<0.0001).Conclusion:In our retrospective study etanercept originator and its biosimilars (SB4 and GP2015) showed the same effectiveness. Patients switching from originator to biosimilar showed an significant higher retention rate when compared to naive. The only predictor of treatment discontinuation highlighted by the Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was the year of treatment prescription.Disclosure of Interests:Francesco Girelli: None declared, Alarico Ariani: None declared, Marco Bruschi: None declared, Andrea Becciolini Speakers bureau: Sanofi-Genzyme, UCB and AbbVie, Lucia Gardelli: None declared, Maurizio Nizzoli: None declared

ObjectivesTo evaluate in a multicentric Italian cohort of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) on secukinumab followed for 24 months: (1) the long-term effectiveness and safety of secukinumab, (2) the drug retention rate and minimal disease activity (MDA), (3) differences in the outcomes according to the biological treatment line: biologic-naïve patients (group A) versus multifailure (group B) patients.MethodsConsecutive patients with PsA receiving secukinumab were evaluated prospectively. Disease characteristics, previous/ongoing treatments, comorbidities and follow-up duration were collected. Disease activity/functional/clinimetric scores and biochemical values were recorded at baseline (T0), 6(T6), 12(T12) and 24(T24) months. Effectiveness was evaluated overtime with descriptive statistics; multivariate Cox and logistic regression models were used to evaluate predictors of drug-discontinuation and MDA at T6. Infections and adverse events were recorded.Results608 patients (41.28% men; mean (SD) age 52.78 (11.33)) were enrolled; secukinumab was prescribed as first-line biological treatment in 227 (37.34%) patients, as second (or more)-line biological treatment in 381 (62.66%). Effectiveness of secukinumab was shown with an improvement in several outcomes, such as Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (T0=3.26 (0.88) vs T24=1.60 (0.69) ;p=0.02) and Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (T0=25.29 (11.14) vs T24=7.69 (4.51); p<0.01). At T24, group A showed lower Psoriasis Area Severity Index (p=0.04), erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein (p=0.03 ;p=0.05) and joint count (p=0.03) compared with group B. At T24, MDA was achieved in 75.71% of group A and 70.37% of group B. Treatment was discontinued in 123 (20.23%) patients, mainly due to primary/secondary loss of effectiveness, and in 22 due to adverse events. Retention rate at T24 was 71% in the whole population, with some difference depending on secukinumab dosage (p=0.004) and gender (p=0.05).ConclusionsIn a real-life clinical setting, secukimumab proved safe and effective in all PsA domains, with notable drug retention rate.
