POS0918 EVALUATION OF SPINAL RADIOGRAPHIC PROGRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH RADIOGRAPHIC AXIAL SPONDYLOARTHRITIS RECEIVING IXEKIZUMAB THERAPY OVER 2 YEARS
2021
Background: It is important to understand the potential effect long-term therapy with biologics can have on structural changes in the spine among patients with active radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA, ankylosing spondylitis). Objectives: We examined radiographic progression in the spine among patients with active r-axSpA treated with ixekizumab, an IL-17A antagonist, for 2 years, and potential predictors of spinal radiographic progression. Methods: Patients with active r-axSpA, biologic-naive (COAST-V, NCT02696785) or with prior experience with a maximum of 2 TNF inhibitors (COAST-W, NCT02696798), received 80 mg ixekizumab every 2 or 4 weeks for 2 years (108 weeks, of which 56 weeks were the COAST-Y extension study, NCT03129100). Mean change from baseline of modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) (average score from 2 selected readers, blinded for time order) for patients treated with ixekizumab for 2 years with data at both baseline and year 2 is presented (N=230; 54% of total randomized patients). Non-progression is presented for all patients and subgroups based on TNFi-experience. Predictors were identified in multivariate logistic regression models with stepwise selection criteria of p-value Results: At baseline, patients (N=230) were predominately male (82%) with an average age of 43 years, mean symptom duration of 16 years, 52% were TNFi-experienced, mean (SD) ASDAS score was 4.0 (0.7), most were HLA-B27 positive (87%) and 40% had syndesmophytes (identified by both selected readers at the same location). Baseline mSASSS (SD) was 11.0 (16.3) and change from baseline at year 2 of treatment was 0.3 (1.8) (Table 1). The proportion of non-progressors (mSASSS change from baseline 0) were age, baseline syndesmophytes, HLA-B27 status and gender (Table 1). Week 52 inflammation in MRI SPARCC spine was also identified as a predictor for structural progression at year 2 in a separate model for patients from COAST-V where MRI measures were available at baseline and Week 52 (N=109). Conclusion: The majority of patients treated with ixekizumab for 2 years did not show radiographic progression, and the overall mean progression was low. Similar levels of non-progression were observed in biologic-naive patients and patients previously exposed to TNFis. Predictors were generally consistent with previous studies.
