Post-Marketing Safety of Ustekinumab Based on 14-Year Follow-Up in Danish National Patient Data.
Purpose: Psoriasis (PsO), a chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting a substantial proportion of populations globally, often necessitates systemic treatment including biologics. This 14-year cohort study, based on Danish national register data, aimed to investigate the enduring safety profile of ustekinumab compared to other systemic psoriasis treatments.
Methods: Using comprehensive Danish national register data, this study scrutinized patients diagnosed with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who received ustekinumab. The treatment group comparators were non-biological systemic treatment (non-biologic), tumor necrosis factor α inhibitor medicine groups (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitors (IL-17), and IL-23 inhibitors (IL-23). The study periods for comparisons were 2009-2022 for non-biologic and TNF-α, 2015-2022 for IL-17, and 2018-2022 for IL-23. Outcomes were malignancies, cardiovascular events, serious infections, and serious hypersensitivity reactions. Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to analyze two estimands: a standard intention-to-treat (ITT) estimand and a continuous-index-treatment (CIT) estimand, which considered switch and re-initiation of treatments within individuals.
Results: Users of ustekinumab were found to be younger on average, with an average age of 45.1 years compared to 51.6, 47.2, 49.0, and 48.4 years in the non-biologic, TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-23 groups, respectively. Also, 57.3% of the ustekinumab users were male, compared to 46.7%, 48.9%, 50.9%, and 58.3% for the non-biologic, TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-23 groups, respectively. Although the hazard ratio estimates varied across comparators, ustekinumab was found to be safe: regardless of PsA status, no discernible safety signals in terms of malignancy, MACE, severe infections, or severe hypersensitivity reactions were observed for ustekinumab when compared to the treatment comparators.
Conclusions: The present study corroborated the enduring safety of ustekinumab in the context of PsO treatment.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety is to provide an international forum for the communication and evaluation of data, methods and opinion in the discipline of pharmacoepidemiology. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed reports of original research, invited reviews and a variety of guest editorials and commentaries embracing scientific, medical, statistical, legal and economic aspects of pharmacoepidemiology and post-marketing surveillance of drug safety. Appropriate material in these categories may also be considered for publication as a Brief Report.
Particular areas of interest include:
design, analysis, results, and interpretation of studies looking at the benefit or safety of specific pharmaceuticals, biologics, or medical devices, including studies in pharmacovigilance, postmarketing surveillance, pharmacoeconomics, patient safety, molecular pharmacoepidemiology, or any other study within the broad field of pharmacoepidemiology;
comparative effectiveness research relating to pharmaceuticals, biologics, and medical devices. Comparative effectiveness research is the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the benefits and harms of alternative methods to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor a clinical condition, as these methods are truly used in the real world;
methodologic contributions of relevance to pharmacoepidemiology, whether original contributions, reviews of existing methods, or tutorials for how to apply the methods of pharmacoepidemiology;
assessments of harm versus benefit in drug therapy;
patterns of drug utilization;
relationships between pharmacoepidemiology and the formulation and interpretation of regulatory guidelines;
evaluations of risk management plans and programmes relating to pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices.
