AB0782 SECUKINUMAB PROVIDES IMPROVEMENTS IN HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS, REGARDLESS OF THE TIME SINCE DIAGNOSIS: POOLED RESULTS FROM THE SECUKINUMAB PHASE 3 TRIAL PROGRAM

Background Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can have a profound impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Secukinumab (SEC), a fully-human IL-17A inhibitor, has been shown to improve symptoms and HRQoL in patients (pts) with PsA.1 Objectives To evaluate the impact of SEC on HRQoL, assessed using the Short form-36 Health Survey (SF-36), in pts with PsA stratified by time since first diagnosis ( Methods Pts were randomized to either subcutaneous placebo (PBO) or SEC 150 mg (FUTURE 2, 3, 4, 5), 150 mg no load (NL; FUTURE 4, 5), or 300 mg (FUTURE 2, 3, 5). Doses were administered at baseline (BL) and Wks 1–4, followed by every 4 wks (or every 4 wks from BL in NL groups). Pts on PBO were re-randomized to SEC at Wk 16 or 24. Mixed-models for repeated measures were used to assess changes from BL to Wk 16; observed data are presented at Wk 52. The proportion of pts reporting improvements ≥ minimum clinically important differences (MCID) in SF-36 physical (PCS responders), mental component summary (MCS responders), and individual SF-36 domains was also assessed. Non-responder imputation was employed for missing values in responder analyses. Fisher’s exact test was used to compare the proportion of responders. Results A total of 2049 pts were included: 681, 461, 572, and 335 in the PBO, SEC 300 mg, 150 mg, and 150 mg NL groups, respectively. Of these, 34%, 30%, 32%, and 33%, were classified as Conclusion SEC offered significant, clinically meaningful and sustained improvements in HRQoL (SF-36) in pts with PsA, regardless of time since diagnosis.
