Abstract
Objectives: Acute anterior uveitis ('uveitis') is a common axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) extramusculoskeletal manifestation. Interleukin (IL)-17 is implicated in its pathogenesis, however, there is conflicting evidence for IL-17A inhibition in uveitis management. We report pooled analyses of uveitis incidence in patients receiving bimekizumab (BKZ), a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits IL-17F in addition to IL-17A, from phase 2b/3 trials.
Methods: Data were pooled for patients receiving BKZ 160 mg or placebo in the double-blind treatment period of the phase 3 BE MOBILE 1 (NCT03928704; non-radiographic axSpA) and BE MOBILE 2 (NCT03928743; radiographic axSpA) trials. Data were separately pooled for patients treated with at least one BKZ dose in the BE MOBILE trials and their ongoing open-label extension (OLE; NCT04436640), and the phase 2b BE AGILE trial (NCT02963506; radiographic axSpA) and its ongoing OLE (NCT03355573). Uveitis rates and exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIR)/100 patient-years (PYs) are reported.
Results: In the BE MOBILE 1 and 2 double-blind treatment period, 0.6% (2/349) of patients receiving BKZ experienced uveitis vs 4.6% (11/237) receiving placebo (nominal p=0.001; EAIR (95% CI): 1.8/100 PYs (0.2 to 6.7) vs 15.4/100 PYs (95% CI 7.7 to 27.5)). In patients with history of uveitis, EAIR was lower in patients receiving BKZ (6.2/100 PYs (95% CI 0.2 to 34.8); 1.9%) vs placebo (70.4/100 PYs (95% CI 32.2 to 133.7); 20.0%; nominal p=0.004). In the phase 2b/3 pool (N=848; BKZ exposure: 2034.4 PYs), EAIR remained low (1.2/100 PYs (95% CI 0.8 to 1.8)).
Conclusions: Bimekizumab, a dual-IL-17A/F inhibitor, may confer protective effects for uveitis in patients with axSpA.
目的:急性前葡萄膜炎("葡萄膜炎")是一种常见的轴性脊柱关节炎(axSpA)骨外表现。白细胞介素(IL)-17与葡萄膜炎的发病机制有关,但在葡萄膜炎治疗中抑制IL-17A的证据却相互矛盾。我们报告了对接受比美单抗(bimekizumab,BKZ)治疗的患者葡萄膜炎发病率的汇总分析,比美单抗是一种单克隆 IgG1 抗体,除 IL-17A 外还能选择性抑制 IL-17F:汇总在 BE MOBILE 1(NCT03928704;非放射学axSpA)和 BE MOBILE 2(NCT03928743;放射学axSpA)三期试验的双盲治疗期间接受 BKZ 160 毫克或安慰剂治疗的患者的数据。在 BE MOBILE 试验及其正在进行的开放标签扩展试验 (OLE;NCT04436640)、BE AGILE 2b 期试验(NCT02963506;放射学轴性SpA)及其正在进行的开放标签扩展试验 (NCT03355573)中接受过至少一种剂量 BKZ 治疗的患者的数据单独汇总。报告了葡萄膜炎发病率和暴露调整发病率(EAIR)/100 患者年(PYs):在 BE MOBILE 1 和 2 双盲治疗期间,0.6%(2/349)接受 BKZ 治疗的患者出现葡萄膜炎,而 4.6%(11/237)接受安慰剂治疗的患者出现葡萄膜炎(名义 p=0.001;EAIR(95% CI):1.8/100 患者年(0.2 至 6.7) vs 15.4/100 患者年(95% CI 7.7 至 27.5))。在有葡萄膜炎病史的患者中,BKZ(6.2/100PYs(95% CI 0.2至34.8);1.9%)与安慰剂(70.4/100PYs(95% CI 32.2至133.7);20.0%;名义P=0.004)的EAIR较低。在2b/3期研究中(N=848;BKZ暴露量:2034.4年),EAIR仍然很低(1.2/100年(95% CI 0.8至1.8)):Bimekizumab是一种IL-17A/F双重抑制剂,可对轴性SpA患者的葡萄膜炎起到保护作用。
期刊介绍:
ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is interested in receiving manuscripts that discuss various aspects of medicinal chemistry.
