Title: Spondyloarthropathies and Psoriatic Arthritis – Clinical Aspects and Treatment Poster II

Session Type: ACR Poster Session B

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory condition characterized by peripheral arthritis and psoriatic skin lesions requiring therapies that control both skin and joint symptoms. In the absence of head-to-head trials, indirect comparison provides informative evidence for decision makers. This study compared the clinical (ACR 20/50/70; PASI 75/90) and cost-effectiveness outcomes of targeted immunomodulators (TIMs) among PsA patients without prior biologic treatment via a network meta-analysis (NMA).

Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify Phase 3 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (TNFi’s: adalimumab [ADA], certolizumab pegol [CZP], etanercept [ETN], golimumab [GOL], and infliximab [INF]), an interleukin-17A inhibitor (secukinumab [SEC]), an interleukin-12/23 inhibitor (ustekinumab [UST]), and a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor (apremilast [APR]) in active PsA. Joint (ACR 20/50/70) and skin (PASI 75/90) responses at Week 24 were estimated via Bayesian NMA among biologic-naïve patients. Treatment costs were based on Wholesale Acquisition Cost as of May 8, 2017 and included drug acquisition and administration costs. Incremental costs per responder relative to placebo were calculated as incremental treatment costs during 24 weeks divided by response rate difference vs. placebo.

Results: Eleven RCTs that reported ACR and/or PASI responses at Week 24 among biologic-naïve PsA patients were included. GOL, ADA, and SEC 150 had higher ACR 20 response than other TIMs. In terms of ACR 50, INF, ETN, and ADA had higher efficacy compared with other TIMs (Table 1). With respect to ACR 70 and PASI responses, ADA, INF, and GOL had higher efficacy than other TIMs. In terms of cost-effectiveness, INF ($50,812 for ACR 50/$35,227 for PASI 75), ADA ($78,608/$41,093), and GOL ($80,533/$37,443) were associated with lower incremental costs per additional ACR 50 responder and per additional PASI 75 responder than other TIMs (Figure 1A). A similar ranking of these drugs was observed in ICPR for ACR 70 and PASI 90 (Figure 1B).

Conclusion: At Week 24, INF, GOL, and ADA had the lowest incremental cost per responder for joint and skin outcomes in PsA patients without prior biologic treatments.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
