Title: Spondyloarthritis Including Psoriatic Arthritis – Treatment Poster III
Session Type: Poster Session C
Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM
Background/Purpose: A warning regarding safety of Interleukin 17 inhibitors (IL-17i) has been issued from data of randomized controlled trials (RCT) showing cases of new-onset inflammatory bowel diseases (NO-IBD). Real-world data are lacking. The objectives of the MISSIL (Maladies inflammatoires chroniques de l’Intestin SouS anti-IL 17) study are to describe NO-IBD associated with IL-17i, to identify risk factors, and to assess the incidence of NO-IBD in patients receiving treatment with IL-17i in France.
Methods: A French national registry was designed (MISSIL) to collect all cases of NO-IBD in patients treated with IL-17i from 2016 to 2019 in departments of rheumatology, dermatology and gastro-enterology, whatever the indication. A case–control study was performed with 3 controls per case randomly matched by gender, age (within 6 years), duration of disease (within 5 years) and underlying inflammatory disease from a database of previous studies of patients treated with IL-17i for spondyloarthritis and from centers participating in the MISSIL registry for psoriasis. NO-IBD events were analyzed using incidence rates (patient incidence rates per 100 patient-years – PY). We estimated the annual incidence rate of NO-IBD in patients treated with IL-17i. The numerator of the annual incidence rates consisted in the validated cases of NO-IBD from the MISSIL registry every year (from 2016 to 2019). The pharmaceutical firm provided its estimation of the annual number of patient-years (PY) treated with IL-17i for the denominator (from 2016 to 2019) in France.
Results: 31 cases of NO-IBD under secukinumab (SEK) were collected between January 2016 and December 2019: 27 patients treated for spondyloarthritis and 4 patients for psoriasis (Table 1). No case of NO-IBD was identified under ixekizumab. Mean age was 49.2 ± 14.6 years old and 14/31 were female; 14/24 were HLA-B27 positive, 10/25 had a radiographic sacroiliitis and 15/25 a MRI sacroiliitis. Only 4 were biological Disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD)-naïve. The median time to onset of NO-IBD symptoms was 4.0 (1.5-7.5) months. The main symptoms were diarrhoea and loss of weight. Median CRP at the onset of symptoms was 68.0 mg/L (34.0-177.5). SEK was discontinued in all patients. Treatments received after SEK were: corticosteroids in 19 cases, infliximab in 14 cases, adalimumab in 7 cases, golimumab in 3 cases, ustekinumab in 7 cases and colectomy in 2 cases. The evolution was favourable with complete resolution (17/31), improvement (7/31) or stabilization (5/31). 2 patients died: one due to a massive myocardial infarction related to the severe undernutrition due to NO-IBD and one due to post-operative complications. The incidence of NO-IBD was 0.69/100 PY (7/1010) in 2016, 0.23/100 PY (11/4704) in 2017, 0.11/100 PY(7/6550) in 2018 and 0.08/100PY (6/7951). There was no independent risk factor for NO-IBD in the case-control study (Table 2).
Conclusion: The outcome of NO-IBD was favorable after SEK discontinuation and introduction of IBD treatment in the vast majority of patients. No independent risk factor associated with NO-IBD in patients initiating SEK was identified.
