Abstract
Background/aims: This post hoc analysis of the phase 2b/3 SELECTION (NCT02914522) study and its long-term extension (SELECTIONLTE; NCT02914535) evaluated the impact of filgotinib 200 mg (FIL200) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work productivity in Japanese patients with ulcerative colitis over 3 years.
Methods: Patients in SELECTION were randomized to FIL200, filgotinib 100 mg, or placebo (PBO) during the induction phase. Week-10 responders were re-randomized to continue assigned treatment or PBO in the 47-week maintenance phase. Patients who completed the SELECTION induction and maintenance phases (completers) and week-10 non-responders could enter SELECTIONLTE. HRQoL and work productivity were assessed using EQ 5-dimension (EQ-5D), EQ visual analog scale, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaires at week 10 (FIL200 vs. PBO), and at week 10 and years 1-3 (completers and non-responders who received only FIL200 in SELECTION+SELECTIONLTE).
Results: Proportions of patients with minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) at week 10 were higher with FIL200 versus PBO for IBDQ total score (77% vs. 54%), SF-36 mental component summary (58% vs. 21%), and SF-36 physical component summary (54% vs. 36%). All measures (except WPAI absenteeism) showed mean score changes from baseline at week 10 in the direction of improved HRQoL with FIL200 versus PBO. MCID rates were maintained in completers up to 3 years and increased notably in non-responders (except WPAI absenteeism and EQ-5D) from week 10 to years 1-3.
Conclusions: FIL200 treatment was associated with sustained improvements in HRQoL and work productivity over 3 years in Japanese patients with ulcerative colitis, consistent with the overall SELECTION and SELECTIONLTE trial populations.
期刊介绍:
Intestinal Research (Intest Res) is the joint official publication of the Asian Organization for Crohn''s and Colitis (AOCC), Chinese Society of IBD (CSIBD), Japanese Society for IBD (JSIBD), Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases (KASID), Taiwan Society of IBD (TSIBD) and Colitis Crohn''s Foundation (India) (CCF, india). The aim of the Journal is to provide broad and in-depth analysis of intestinal diseases, especially inflammatory bowel disease, which shows increasing tendency and significance. As a Journal specialized in clinical and translational research in gastroenterology, it encompasses multiple aspects of diseases originated from the small and large intestines. The Journal also seeks to propagate and exchange useful innovations, both in ideas and in practice, within the research community. As a mode of scholarly communication, it encourages scientific investigation through the rigorous peer-review system and constitutes a qualified and continual platform for sharing studies of researchers and practitioners. Specifically, the Journal presents up-to-date coverage of medical researches on the physiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentations, and therapeutic interventions of the intestinal diseases. General topics of interest include inflammatory bowel disease, colon and small intestine cancer or polyp, endoscopy, irritable bowel syndrome and other motility disorders, infectious enterocolitis, intestinal tuberculosis, and so forth. The Journal publishes diverse types of academic materials such as editorials, clinical and basic reviews, original articles, case reports, letters to the editor, brief communications, perspective, statement or commentary, and images that are useful to clinicians and researchers.
