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

Early Psoriatic Arthritis

Background:In early rheumatoid arthritis (ERA) a window of opportunity (WoO) is well established since its first proposal in 2002 (1). ERA patients achieved a better clinical outcome when DMARD therapy was initiated within the first 12-16 weeks after start of symptoms (disease duration (Xd) (2). To the best of our knowledge, comparable data are missing for early psoriatic arthritis (EPsA), even though the benefit of tight control is known in EPsA (3,4). In contrast to ERA early PsA is usually defined as Xd <24months (3,4).Objectives:To study in a setting of routine rheumatologic care if a WoO like in ERA also can be observed in EPsA comparable to ERA.Methods:n=90 consecutive outpatients with definite PsA were recruited in this retrospective longitudinal cohort study with the following inclusion criteria: DMARD- and steroid-naïve at the first time of visit in our outpatient clinic (t0), minimum follow-up of 3 years, classification as very early psoriatic arthritis (VEPsA, Xd≤3 months, n=30), late early psoriatic arthritis (LEPsA, > 3 Xd ≤ 12 months, n=30) and late psoriatic arthritis (LAPsA, Xd > 36 months, n=30). Standardized assessments had been performed at regular intervals of 3 months within the framework of routine rheumatologic care. Outcome at 3 years (t36) was analyzed within groups and between groups (DAS28, Physician Global Assessment (PhG), HAQ, fatigue, morning stiffness).Results:Cohorts did not differ between gender and age (mean age 54 years). There was no significant difference in DAS28, HAQ, PhG and morning stiffness at t0. Fatigue at t0 differed between cohort 1 and 3 significantly (p<0.03). In all cohorts DAS28 and PhG have been decreased at t36 significantly (minimal p< 0.006). In comparison to VEPsA LEPsA showed a significant difference in DAS28 (p<0.04) and PhG (p<0.05), but not in morning stiffness and fatigue. Highly significant differences between VEPsA and LAPsA were observed for DAS28 (p <0.007), morning stiffness (p < 0.001), PhG (p<0.05) and fatigue (p < 0.006) at t36.Conclusion:Significant and relevant differences between the outcomes at 3 years of patients with VEPsA, LEPsA and LAPsA could be identified in this retrospective pilot study. Particularly the highly significant difference between VEPsA and LAPsA (<3 months vs. >36months) is remarkable. The data suggest a window of opportunity also in patients with EPsA. With a time interval of Xd≤12 this window seems to be longer than in ERA. Further studies with higher number of patients were needed to confirm our findings from this real life setting.References:[1]O´Dell JR Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis Early: A Window of Opportunity?

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and tolerability between oral methotrexate (MTX) and subcutaneous MTX in a large group of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in a real-life setting. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, adult patients with clinical diagnosis of RA who started MTX treatment (monotherapy or combined with hydroxychloroquine), either started with oral or subcutaneous MTX. The primary outcome was superiority testing of between group difference in change in DAS28CRP between baseline and 3–6 months, and subsequent non inferiority testing (NI margin 0.6) analyses in case of non-superiority. Secondary outcomes included MTX dose, side effects, laboratory abnormalities, and use of comedication. Results 640 RA patients were included: 259 started with oral MTX and 381 with subcutaneous. There was no significant difference in ΔDAS28CRP, after adjusting for confounding, 0.13 (95%-CI: -0.14, 0.40), and oral MTX strategy was non inferior to subcutaneous. The mean MTX dose was slightly lower for the oral strategy (18.0 SD6.9 vs 19.9 SD8.2, p= 0.002), which was accompanied by a lower cumulative incidence of adverse events (41% vs 52%, p= 0.005). No differences were seen in use of other comedication. Conclusions Starting with oral MTX in RA in a real-life setting is non inferior to a subcutaneous MTX treatment with regard to disease activity control, at least when used in dosages up to 25 mg and on a background of HCQ cotreatment and a treat-to-target approach. In addition, tolerability was better. This supports the strategy of starting with oral MTX.
