Session Title: SLE – Diagnosis, Manifestations, & Outcomes Poster I: Diagnosis (0323–0356)

Session Type: Poster Session A

Session Time: 8:30AM-10:30AM

Background/Purpose: To determine if a serologic phenotype can be identified in SLE patients with myositis and/or ILD.

Methods: Adult SLE patients (without myositis or ILD at baseline) had annual assessments and provided bio-samples between 2000-2017. Potential new-onset myositis was identified using the SLICC Damage Index (SDI) muscle atrophy/weakness item, the SLEDAI-2K item for myositis, and annual serum creatinine kinase testing. Potential new-onset ILD was identified using the SDI pulmonary fibrosis item. Chart review confirmed cases. Randomly sampled patients from baseline visit (from 2000 onward) became a sub-cohort (N=72). Cases and sub-cohort were compared regarding baseline characteristics. Patients’ myositis-related biomarkers were assessed at baseline and one randomly selected follow-up between baseline and end of observation (date of myositis/ILD diagnosis or Dec. 31, 2017). Line immunoassay (Euroimmun AG, Luebeck, Germany) detected autoantibodies to Mi2‐α, Mi2-β, MDA5, NXP2, TIF1γ, PM/Scl75, PM/Scl100, Ku, SRP, Jo‐1, EJ, OJ, PL7, PL12, Ro52, HMGCR, NT5c1A/Mup44, CENP-A, -B, Scl70, NOR90, RNAP, and Th/To (hPOP1). An addressable laser bead immunoassay was used to detect antibodies to TERF-1. KL-6 levels were determined by ELISA (R&D Systems). Descriptive analyses and hazards ratios (HRs) were generated for myositis and/or ILD incidence, focusing on baseline serology and adjusting for demographic variables (sex, ethnicity, and age at SLE diagnosis) and positive biomarkers.

Results: The median (IQR) SLE duration at baseline was 1.8 (0.41, 5.6) years. Between 2000-2017, 14 SLE patients (12, 85.7% female) developed myositis and/or ILD over an average follow up of 9.2 years (incidence 17.6 cases per 1000 patient-years). Thirteen of these (92.9%) had at least one medium/high positive biomarker at baseline, versus 47 (65.3%) SLE patients who never developed myositis and/or ILD. The most common baseline biomarkers in patients with myositis and/or ILD were KL-6, anti-Ku, anti-Ro52. In multivariate Cox regression analyses, SLE patients were more likely to develop myositis and/or ILD if they had elevated baseline KL-6, anti-Ku positivity, or anti-CENP-B positivity. Potential limitations include the relatively low number of events.

Conclusion: In this SLE sample, KL-6, anti-Ku, and anti-CENP-B at baseline were highly associated with myositis and/or ILD risk. Ours is the first study of this serologic phenotype, identifying SLE patients most at risk of myositis/ILD.
