Abstract Objective This study aimed to describe the real-world effectiveness and treatment persistence among patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with monotherapy and combination therapy tofacitinib and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). Methods This was a post hoc analysis of a retrospective, non-interventional study that extracted data for patients treated with tofacitinib or bDMARDs from the Australian OPAL dataset between March 2015 and September 2018. Monotherapy tofacitinib and bDMARDs and combination therapy tofactinib and bDMARDs were propensity score matched and treatment effectiveness and persistence of the groups were evaluated. Results In the bDMARD and tofacitinib monotherapy and combination therapy matched populations there were 1300 bDMARD initiators (n = 564 monotherapy) and 650 tofacitinib initiators (n = 282 monotherapy). In the bDMARD and tofacitinib monotherapy matched groups, 62.9% and 66.7% were in DAS-28 CRP disease remission after 18 months of treatment, respectively. In the combination therapy bDMARD and tofacitinib groups, 50% and 58.9% were in DAS-28 CRP disease remission after 18 months, respectively. The median treatment persistence was similar between the monotherapy bDMARD and tofacitinib treatment groups (36.7 months (95% CI 27.4 to “not reached’) and 34.2 months (95%CI 30.3 to “not reached”) respectively) as well as the combination therapy bDMARD and tofacitinib groups (32.2 months (95% CI 25.7 to 34.4) and 32.7 months (95%CI 28.7 to “not reached”, respectively). Conclusions Patients receiving combination therapy with tofacitinib or bDMARDs had higher disease activity scores at index than patients receiving monotherapy. Monotherapy with tofacitinib or bDMARDs, and combination therapy with tofacitinib or bDMARDs demonstrated similar treatment effectiveness and persistence, respectively. Key Points• This study provides real-world evidence regarding effectiveness, treatment persistence, and treatment patterns, among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with monotherapy or combination therapy tofacitinib.• The study suggests that monotherapy and combination therapy tofacitinib is an effective intervention in RA with persistence and effectiveness comparable to bDMARDs.

e19311 Background: Leveraging data from a collaboration with 9 data partners, Friends of Cancer Research convened the Real-world Evidence Pilot 2.0, to examine trends and real world (rw) data endpoints in immunotherapy (IO) use for the front line treatment of aNSCLC. Methods: This study leveraged parallel analyses of rw data elements across heterogenous data sources (EHR, administrative claims, and registry) to: a) describe trends in uptake and use of novel IO frontline therapy after advanced diagnosis in NSCLC patients treated in usual care settings and b) examine associations between treatment and rw outcomes at one-year follow-up. The proportion of patients treated on each regimen (IO single agent, chemo, or IO + chemo) from 2011 through 2017 were calculated. Analysis included proportion of patients across treatment regimens stratified by year to describe post approval uptake of IO. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were reported to adjust for follow-up time and stratified by PD-L1 status and stage. Results: Seven datasets identified a range of 999 to 4617 patients per dataset for this analysis. Across datasets, 2508, 3446, and 4176 patients initiated treatment in 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively. No patients received IO or IO + chemo regimens prior to 2015. Initial approvals for IO use in aNSCLC occurred in October 2015 and for first line in metastatic NSCLC in October 2016. When examining survival at 1 year, overall, OS in PD-(L)1 + patients appeared longer than those with a PD-(L)1 - status. Conclusions: RWE analyses may reveal important trends in clinical cancer patient care including patterns of off-label use. The heterogeneity in the timing of IO uptake across datasets ranged from immediately after approval to ~12 months post-approval. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background GEMINI trials and real-world studies in Western population have demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of vedolizumab (VDZ) for IBD. However, long-term real-world evidence of VDZ in Asian populations remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of VDZ in Taiwan CD and UC patients, and the IBD relapse after VDZ discontinuation. Methods Data were prospectively collected (January 2018-May 2020) from the Taiwan Society of IBD (TSIBD) registry, one of the largest real-world Asian IBD cohorts. Patients (>18 years old) receiving ≥1 dose of VDZ with up to a 1-year follow-up period were analyzed. Effectiveness at 6 month and 1 year including clinical response (CRS), clinical remission (CRM), steroid-free remission (SRM) and mucosal healing (MH);and safety outcome were analyzed descriptively. IBD relapse after VDZ treatment discontinuation was assessed since the reimbursement period in Taiwan is limited due to drug holiday required by government. Results A total of 274 patients (CD:127, UC:147) were included. At VDZ initiation, average [SD] age (year): 33.4 [14.6] in CD and 42.4 [14.3] in UC; median disease duration (years): 3.1 in CD and 3.9 in UC; 50.4% of CD and 70.7% of UC patients were biologics (bio)-naïve. Treatment effectiveness was analyzed (Figure 1-4). At 6 months, effectiveness in the CD bio-naïve group was significantly higher than the bio-exposed patients in CRS (67.4% vs 43.9%, p=0.047), CRM (62.8% vs 39.0%, p=0.025), and SRM (43.3% vs 4.3%, p=0.001), respectively. At 1 year, the CD bio-naïve group had higher CRS (82.1% vs 60.7%, p=0.026) than the bio-exposed group. There was no difference in effectiveness between bio-naïve and bio-exposed groups in UC at both 6 months and 1 year. Three patients (1.1%) reported serious infections (respiratory infection, intractable infection with underlying myelodysplastic syndrome and intestinal perforation due to endoscopy) and two (0.7%) had infusion-related reactions. No malignancies or hepatic injuries were reported. After limited treatment up to one year due to reimbursement, 58% (54/93) of patients had IBD relapse (CD: 27 [62.8%], UC: 27 [54%]). After cessation of VDZ, the mean [SD] time to IBD relapse was 5.5 [4.0] months in CD, and 5.8 [5.7] months for UC. Conclusion This study has shown the effectiveness and safety of VDZ therapy for Taiwan IBD patients. Better outcomes were observed in bio-naïve CD patients, whereas bio-naïve and bio-exposed UC patients have comparable outcomes. After a limited VDZ treatment duration, over one-half of patients had IBD relapse, with the majority occurring within 5 months of VDZ discontinuation. These data suggest that continued VDZ therapy would benefit the majority of IBD patients in Taiwan.
