Methods CHOICE was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial conducted in the US. Biologic-naïve patients with PsA and psoriasis (PsO) were randomized 2:2:1 to SEC 300 mg (n = 103), SEC 150 mg (n = 103), or placebo (n = 52). The primary objective was to show superiority of SEC 300 mg vs placebo in American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response at week 16. Additional objectives included the effect of SEC on dactylitis, enthesitis, PsO, and safety. Results ACR20 response rates at week 16 were higher with SEC 300 mg than with placebo (51.5% vs 23.1%; odds ratio 3.51 [95% CI 1.65-7.45]; P = 0.001). SEC 300 mg also led to greater ACR50/70 responses and improvements in other variables vs placebo. Responses were generally sustained over time. Patients with inadequate response to SEC 150 mg at weeks 16, 28, or 40 who received dose escalation to 300 mg experienced improved clinical response after uptitration. The most common adverse events were upper respiratory tract infections and diarrhea. No inflammatory bowel disease was reported or new safety signals observed. Conclusion SEC 300 mg led to rapid and significant improvements over placebo in symptoms of PsA in this heavier population of US-only, biologic-naïve patients. Findings were consistent with previous studies and suggest that SEC 300 mg is a safe and efficacious first-line biologic treatment for patients with PsA.

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.

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.
