Abstract

Background There is a lack of data on exposure, treatment outcomes and retention rates of secukinumab in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) treated in routine care. Objectives Primary objective: To assess the proportion of PsA patients in remission after 6 months of secukinumab treatment across Europe. Secondary objectives: To compare baseline clinical and demographic characteristics, 6-month crude and LUNDEX adjusted remission rates, 6-month retention rates and median time to secukinumab withdrawal (due to loss of efficacy/adverse events) between bDMARD naive and non-naive patients as well as across the participating European registries. Methods PsA patients starting secukinumab in routine care and followed for at least 6 months were included from 12 European registries within the European Spondyloarthritis Research Collaboration (EuroSpA). Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-square test were used for group comparisons as appropriate, and Kaplan-Meier plots with log rank test for comparison of secukinumab drug survival. Results A total of 1549 PsA patients starting secukinumab were included (Table). 6-month remission and retention rates were significantly different between the registries (Table). Biologic DMARD (bDMARD) naive compared with non-naive patients had significantly higher 6-month remission rates and a trend towards better 6-month retention rates (Table, Figure 1a-b). Conclusion This study of >1500 patients in 12 European countries provides real-world data on the effectiveness of secukinumab in patients with PsA, adding evidence to existing RCTs. A majority of the patients had long disease duration and was previous bDMARD users. DAS28CRP, SDAI and DAPSA28 remission at 6 months were achieved by 35%, 12% and 12%, respectively. The overall retention rate was 86%, with significant differences across the registries. bDMARD naive compared with non-naive patients had significantly better 6-month remission rates and a trend towards better secukinumab retention rates.
