Methods We evaluated key outcomes at week 24 stratified by sex (male vs female) and BMI (kg/m2; ≤ 30 vs > 30), including the American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) criteria, minimal disease activity (MDA), very low disease activity (VLDA), and Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Score (PASDAS). We analyzed data using descriptive statistics, normal approximation, logistic model, and analysis of covariance. Results A total of 851 patients completed the SEAM-PsA trial. Higher proportions of men than women who received MTX+ETN combination therapy achieved ACR20 (71.5% vs 58.3%; P = 0.02), MDA (45.8% vs 25.2%; P = 0.0003), and VLDA (19.1% vs 9.5%; P = 0.03), and men achieved better PASDAS (-3.0 vs -2.3; P = 0.0004). Patients with BMI ≤ 30 generally had better outcomes than those with BMI > 30 in some treatment arms for ACR20, MDA, VLDA, and PASDAS; however, there was no consistent pattern regarding the treatment arm in which the difference occurred. Conclusion Improved outcomes were observed more in men than in women for MDA and PASDAS with MTX+ETN combination therapy. Patients with BMI ≤ 30 had better outcomes than those with BMI > 30, with no clear pattern regarding treatment received. These findings suggest that contextual factors such as sex and BMI may affect response to PsA therapy.","PeriodicalId":35278,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of rheumatology.

The probability of achieving Clinical Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (cDAPSA) treatment targets (remission [REM], low disease activity [LDA]) was evaluated following apremilast monotherapy in disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-naïve patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) based on baseline disease activity. Methods. This post hoc probability analysis of PALACE 4, a phase III, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled study, evaluated shifting across cDAPSA categories from baseline to week 52 and included DMARD-naïve patients receiving apremilast 30 mg BID with available baseline cDAPSA data. Changes in articular/extraarticular manifestations were evaluated in patients with week 52 cDAPSA components. cDAPSA treatment target achievement was assessed in a subgroup with baseline extraarticular PsA manifestations (skin involvement, enthesitis, dactylitis). Results. Of 175 apremilast-treated patients in the probability analysis, 66.3% were in high disease activity (HDA) and 31.4% in moderate disease activity (ModDA) at baseline. Approximately twice as many patients in ModDA at baseline reached REM/LDA at week 52 vs those in HDA (61.7% vs 28.2%). Achieving cDAPSA treatment targets was associated with reductions in articular (swollen/tender joints) and extraarticular (skin involvement, enthesitis, dactylitis, functional disability) disease activity. Similar treatment target achievement rates were observed in the subgroup with ≥ 1 extraarticular PsA manifestation (n = 126; ModDA: 66.7%, HDA: 32.2%). Conclusion. Apremilast-treated patients with baseline ModDA had higher probability of achieving cDAPSA treatment targets than patients with HDA. Resolution and/or near resolution of articular and/or extraarticular PsA manifestations was achieved by patients in REM/LDA at week 52. Consistent treatment target achievement was observed in patients with 1 or multiple extraarticular manifestations of active PsA.","PeriodicalId":35278,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of rheumatology.

To evaluate clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at 6 months after secukinumab initiation in US patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods. Patients with PsA in the CorEvitas Psoriatic Arthritis/Spondyloarthritis Registry who initiated secukinumab between April 1, 2017, and December 2, 2019, and maintained secukinumab at their 6-month follow-up visit were included. Achievement of minimal disease activity (MDA) among patients not in MDA at initiation; resolution (ie, no evidence) of tender and swollen joint counts, enthesitis, and dactylitis among patients with ≥ 1 of these at initiation; and change in disease activity and PROs were evaluated at 6 months in all patients and in patients who received secukinumab as a first-line biologic. Results. Of the 100 eligible patients included, most (83.0%) were biologic experienced and 17.0% initiated secukinumab as a first-line biologic.

Methods This was a retrospective cohort study from 2008 to 2020. TNFi and DMARD exposures were dichotomized as ever/never. The primary outcome was incident PsO. Incidence rates (IRs) of PsO were stratified by underlying diagnosis, TNFi agent, and DMARD use. Poisson regression was used to assess the IR ratios (IRRs) between exposure groups. Results There were 5088 children who met the inclusion criteria: 3794 (75%) had IBD, 1189 (23%) had JIA, and 105 (2%) had CNO. Of the 2023 children with TNFi exposure, 613 (30%) and 1410 (70%) were with or without a DMARD, respectively. When controlling for DMARD, sex, and family history of PsO, the IRR of developing PsO in patients exposed to adalimumab (ADA) was 2.70 times higher (95% CI 1.53-4.75; P < 0.001) than those who did not receive any TNFi treatment. IRR was lower, but not significantly different, for patients exposed to infliximab (IFX; IRR 2.34, 95% CI 1.56-3.51; P < 0.001) and etanercept (ETN; IRR 2.21; 95% CI 1.17-4.21; P = 0.006) compared to TNFi-unexposed patients. IRR of TNFi exposure was lower by 0.25 (P < 0.001) in DMARD-exposed patients compared to non–DMARD-exposed patients. Conclusion IRR of TNFi-induced PsO was not significantly different among ADA, IFX, and ETN. However, for patients with exposure to any of the TNFi evaluated, the IRR was significantly lower in those also exposed to a DMARD.","PeriodicalId":35278,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of rheumatology.
