FRI0273 EFFECTIVENESS AND RETENTION RATE OF SECUKINUMAB FOR PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS AND AXIAL SPONDYLOARTHRITIS: REAL-LIFE DATA FROM THE ITALIAN LORHEN REGISTRY

Background: Observational data on the use of secukinumab for the treatment of spondyloarthritides are still lacking. Large population-based registries that allow long-term follow-up have been increasingly used to investigate the performance of biologic drugs in a real life setting. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and the retention rate of secukinumab in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients in a real-life setting over a 3-year follow-up period. Methods: Data of all PsA and axSpA patients (diagnosed according to CASPAR and ASAS criteria, respectively) treated with secukinumab were prospectively collected in the Italian multicentric LORHEN registry. Effectiveness was measured as the mean change from baseline of Disease Activity in PSoriatic Arthritis score (DAPSA) in PsA and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) in axSpA patients. Rates of DAPSA remission and ASDAS inactive disease were also computed. The 3-year retention rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between PsA and axSpA by a log-rank test. A descriptive analysis of reasons for discontinuation was performed. Results: The study population included 195 PsA (55.4% females, mean age 50.7 [±11.8] years, mean disease duration 10 [±7.8] years, mean baseline DAPSA 23.12 [±12.3]) and 94 axSpA (61.7% males, mean age 49.1 [±12.7] years, mean disease duration 10.4 [±9.4] years, mean baseline ASDAS 3.41 [±1.1]) patients who received secukinumab as first (26.5 and 33%, respectively) or subsequent biologic agent. Compared with baseline, the 3-, 6- and 12-month mean values of both DAPSA (12.6 [±9], 11.2 [±10.5] and 9.3 [±7.5], respectively) and ASDAS (2.23 [±0.9], 2.15 [±0.9], and 1.84 [±0.9], respectively) were significantly decreased (p Conclusion: Our data confirmed in a real-life setting the 1-year clinical efficacy and the 3-year survival of secukinumab in both PsA and axSpA. The safety profile of secukinumab was very favorable for both the indications. No significant differences were observed in the performance of secukinumab between ax-SpA and PsA.
