Title: 5T112 ACR Abstract: Spondyloarthritis Incl PsA–Clinical V: Tx of PsA & Peripheral SpA (2886–2891)
Session Type: ACR Concurrent Abstract Session
Session Time: 4:30PM-6:00PM
Background/Purpose: GO-VIBRANT is a Phase 3 trial of intravenous (IV) golimumab (GLM), an anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) monoclonal antibody, in adult patients (pts) w/ active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). To assess whether changes in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) score, Minimal Disease Activity (MDA), & Very Low Disease Activity (VLDA) disease activity measures correlate w/ X-ray progression.
Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled trial, 480-bionaïve PsA pts w/ active disease (≥5 swollen & ≥5 tender joints, C-reactive protein ≥0.6mg/dL, active plaque psoriasis or documented history, & despite treatment w/ csDMARDs &/or NSAIDs) received IV GLM 2 mg/kg (N=241) at Wks 0 & 4 then q8 wks or PBO (N=239) at Wks 0, 4, 12, & 20 w/ crossover to GLM at Wk24. In this post-hoc analysis, disease activity measures CDAI, DAPSA score, MDA, & VLDA were associated w/ X-ray progression from baseline to Wk24 & baseline to Wk52. Total modified van der Heijde-Sharp (vdH-S) score was used to assess X-rays at Wks 0, 24, & 52. Imputation rules were applied for all variables using last observation carried forward for partially missing data & non-responder imputation for completely missing data.
Results: Changes in all disease activity measures appeared to be correlated w/ X-ray progression (Table). GLM-treated pts had less X-ray progression regardless of disease activity measure used. GLM‑treated pts in remission or in low disease activity (LDA) tended to have less X-ray progression at Wk52 vs pts in moderate or high disease activity categories (mean change in CDAI: remission -1.06, low activity -0.81, moderate activity 0.20, high activity 1.11). Irrespective of level of disease activity, GLM-treated pts from Wk0-52 tended to have less X-ray progression vs PBO-treated pts who switched to GLM at Wk24 (mean change in CDAI 0-52 wk GLM vs PBO: remission -1.06 vs 1.52, low activity -0.81 vs 1.21, moderate activity 0.20 vs 1.32, high activity 1.11 vs 1.75). GLM-treated pts w/ DAPSA scores £28 at Wk0-52 tended to have less X-ray progression (mean change ‑0.74) vs pts w/ scores >28 (mean change 0.41). Pts treated w/ GLM who despite not achieving MDA or VLDA by Wk52 also tended to have far less X-ray progression vs PBO pts (mean change MDA PBO 1.50 vs GLM 0.03; p< 0.0011 & mean change VLDA PBO 1.45 vs. -0.30; p<0.0001).
Conclusion: In this analysis, all disease activity measures generally correlated w/ X-ray progression from baseline to Wk24 & baseline to Wk52. Higher disease activity was associated w/ increased X-ray progression. GLM‑treated pts not achieving MDA & VLDA at Wk52 tended to have less X-ray progression vs PBOàGLM pts. GLM’s ability to inhibit X-ray progression, despite pts not being in clinical remission or LDA, illustrates an example of “disconnect” between clinical outcomes & X-ray findings seen in other studies.
