POS0660 CONCOMITANT USE OF STATINS IN FILGOTINIB-TREATED PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
2021
Background: The Janus kinase-1 preferential inhibitor filgotinib (FIL) improved rheumatoid arthritis (RA) signs and symptoms in phase (P)3 trials.1–3 RA elevates cardiovascular disease risk; statins are used to reduce risk. Objectives: To assess safety of statin and filgotinib coadministration across the clinical program. Methods: Patients (pts) meeting 2010 ACR/EULAR RA criteria in P2 DARWIN 1–2 (D1–2; NCT01888874, NCT01894516), P3 FINCH 1–3 (F1–3; NCT02889796, NCT02873936, NCT02886728), and long-term extensions DARWIN 3 and FINCH 4 (D3, F4; NCT02065700, NCT03025308) receiving FIL 100 mg (FIL100) QD, FIL 200 mg QD (FIL200), adalimumab (ADA), methotrexate (MTX), or placebo (PBO) were included. Events related to statin use were analysed as exposed by treatment received. N and % were provided. Week (W)12 PBO-controlled safety analysis included pts receiving FIL100, FIL200, or PBO for ≤12W (D1–2, F1–2); as-treated safety analysis included pts receiving long-term FIL100 QD (n=1647), FIL200 QD (n=2267), ADA (n=325), MTX (n=416), or PBO (n=781) (D1–3, F1–4); P3 as-randomised analysis included data up to W52 (F1–3) per assigned treatment. Results: In each arm, similar proportions of pts took statins at baseline (9.4%–11.9%); initiation during study was low (1.2%–6.8%). Through W12 in PBO-controlled analysis, mean creatine phosphokinase (CPK; Figure 1), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were similar regardless of statin use and remained within normal levels across all arms. Mean baseline ALT and AST levels were 20–23 and 20–22 U/L, respectively; at W12, ALT and AST ranged from 22–24 and 20–25 U/L, respectively. Graded CPK, ALT, and AST elevations are in Table 1. In the long-term as-treated analysis, 1 (0.5%)/6 (3.2%)/0/0/0 treatment-emergent adverse events (AE) of myalgia occurred in pts on statins at baseline receiving FIL200/FIL100/ADA/MTX/PBO and in 12 (0.6%)/8 (0.5%)/3 (1.0%)/2 (0.5%)/1 (0.1%) pts not on statins. Muscle spasms occurred in 2 (0.9%)/3 (1.6%)/1 (3.2%)/0/1 (1.1%) pts on statins at baseline receiving FIL200/FIL100/ADA/MTX/PBO and 21 (1.0%)/8 (0.5%)/0/3 (0.8%)/1 (0.1%) pts not on statins at baseline. One patient not on statins receiving FIL200 reported rhabdomyolysis. For all treatment arms in P3 as-randomised analysis, mean LDL and HDL increased similarly from baseline (108–110 and 56–59 mg/dL, respectively) to W52 (119–130 and 59–71 mg/dL, respectively). Conclusion: No increases in statin-induced AEs such as muscle or liver toxicities occurred with statins and filgotinib coadministration; results are supported by a drug-drug interaction study.4 Mean LDL and HDL increased at W52 in all treatment arms.
