Title: Spondyloarthritis Including Psoriatic Arthritis – Clinical Poster II: Treatment of Axial Spondyloarthritis & Psoriatic Arthritis

Session Type: Poster Session (Monday)

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

Background/Purpose: Enthesitis can be a debilitating spondyloarthritis (SpA) manifestation and the cause of pain, reduced quality of life and impaired physical function.1,2 Herein, we evaluated the effect of secukinumab on axial and peripheral enthesitis in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with baseline enthesitis (BLE) across all Maastricht AS EnthesiS (MASES) sites (N=13), axial sites [N=11; 13 MASES minus Achilles tendons (AT); AxS] and peripheral sites (N=6; AT + lateral condyles of humerus/femur; PS) and the AT (N=2) at Weeks 16 and 52.

Methods: This post hoc analysis pooled data across 4 secukinumab studies in AS (MEASURE 1-4) from patients originally randomized to secukinumab 150mg (approved dose in AS), 300mg (MEASURE 3 only), or placebo (PBO) with BLE (MASES >0). Study designs have been reported previously.3-5 Evaluations include mean change from BL in MASES, complete resolution (CR; MASES=0) and improvement from BL in MASES score of ≥5 counts. Mixed-effect model repeat measurement (MMRM) analysis was done on change from BL in MASES score and non-responder imputation for resolution of enthesitis at Week 16; data are reported as observed at Week 52.

Results: A total of 355 (70.4%), 58 (76.3%), and 280 (72%) patients had BLE in 150mg, 300mg and PBO groups, respectively. BL characteristics were generally comparable across groups. At Week 16, mean change from BL for overall MASES and AxS was greater for secukinumab 150mg (-2.4 and -2.3; both p< 0.05) and 300mg (-2.9 and -2.9; both p< 0.01) vs PBO (-1.9 and -1.8). At Week 16, patients treated with secukinumab 150mg (40.8% and 42.7%) and 300mg (36.2% and 42.1%) vs PBO (28.9% and 30.1%) achieved CR of enthesitis based on overall MASES and at AxS, respectively. A higher proportion of patients treated with secukinumab 150/300mg vs PBO achieved a higher threshold of improvement (≥5 counts) in overall MASES at Week 16. Further improvements were observed for all endpoints at Week 52 (Table).

Conclusion: Secukinumab 150mg and 300mg were associated with higher mean change in MASES and complete resolution of enthesitis at overall MASES and axial sites compared to placebo in AS patients at Week 16, which further increased through Week 52.

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].
