Expert Opin Drug Saf 2024:1-8. [PMID: 38769926 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2024.2357748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (TNFis) are used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between neurological adverse events (AEs) and TNFi use. METHODS Data of TNFis indicated for IBD were collected from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from the marketed date to the second quarter of 2023. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) and a Bayesian confidence propagation neural network were used to identify signals. RESULTS A total of 4,964 neurological AEs were reported in the IBD population. Infliximab had 3 signals, including demyelination [ROR (95% CI): 1.69 (1.33,2.15)], meningitis listeria [ROR (95% CI): 5.05 (3.52,7.25)], and optic neuritis [ROR (95% CI): 1.72 (1.3,2.26)]. The signals for adalimumab were gait disturbance [ROR (95% CI): 1.43 (1.32,1.56)] and muscular weakness [ROR (95% CI): 1.4 (1.27,1.55)]. A peripheral neuropathy signal was found for adalimumab [ROR (95% CI): 1.34 (1.18,1.53)] and certolizumab pegol [ROR (95% CI): 1.49 (1.07,2.08)]. However, there were no signals among neurological AEs for golimumab. CONCLUSION Neurological signals were detected for TNFi use, indicating that the risk of neurological AEs requires additional attention in clinical use of TNFis.

[PMID: 37846976 DOI: 10.1093/bjd/ljad382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Safety is an important consideration in decisions on treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and the study of drug safety is the main purpose of the BIOBADADERM registry. The combination of a biologic agent and a conventional systemic drug [generally methotrexate (MTX)] is a common treatment in clinical practice. However, there is a paucity of evidence from real-world practice on the safety of such combination regimens in the treatment of psoriasis. OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to ascertain whether the use of regimens combining biologic drugs with MTX in the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis increases the risk of adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs (SAEs). We compared monotherapy using tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 inhibitors with the use of the same drugs in combination with MTX. METHODS Using data from the BIOBADADERM registry, we compared biologic monotherapies with therapies that were combined with MTX. We estimated adjusted incidence rate ratios (aIRR) using a random effects Poisson regression with 95% confidence intervals for all AEs, SAEs, infections and serious infections and other AEs by system organ class. RESULTS We analysed data from 2829 patients and 5441 treatment cycles, a total of 12 853 patient-years. The combination of a biologic with MTX was not associated with statistically significant increases in overall risk of AEs or SAEs in any treatment group. No increase in the total number of infections or serious infections in patients receiving combined therapy was observed for any group. However, treatment with a TNF inhibitor combined with MTX was associated with an increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal AEs (aIRR 2.50, 95% CI 1.57-3.98; P < 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The risk of AEs and SAEs was not significantly increased in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis receiving different classes of biologic drugs combined with MTX compared with those on biologic monotherapy.

[PMID: 36724626 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.109755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multisystemic and inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by joint destruction. The C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) is mainly expressed in monocytes and T cells, initiating their migration to sites of inflammation, ultimately leading to cartilage damage and bone destruction. CCR2 has long been considered a prospective target for treating autoimmune diseases. However, clinical studies on inhibitors or neutralizing antibodies against CCR2 in RA have exhibited limited efficacy. Recent evidence indicates that CCR2 may play different roles in RA. Hence, a comprehensive understanding regarding the role of CCR2 may facilitate the development of targeted drugs and provide novel insights for improving CCL2-mediated inflammatory diseases. This review summarizes the biological characteristics of CCR2, the related signaling pathways, and recent developments in CCR2-targeting therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The extent to which adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of biologics differ per immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID), and the relevance of tailoring ADR information per IMID is not fully investigated. We aimed to compare patient-reported ADRs attributed to adalimumab and etanercept between different inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS ADR reports from IRD patients were extracted from the Dutch Biologic Monitor. ADR frequencies were compared using Fischer-Freeman-Halton exact test and the influence of covariates was assessed using binomial logistic regression. RESULTS A total, of 729 participants were included, of which 354 participants reported 887 unique ADRs. ADR frequencies were not significantly different between the IRDs. Rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis including axial spondyloarthritis patients had an increased risk of ADRs related to 'Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders' and as compared to psoriatic arthritis patients. Etanercept use, combination therapy with methotrexate and/or corticosteroids, and age also influenced the risk of reporting specific ADRs. CONCLUSIONS There were no differences in frequencies and nature of patient-reported ADRs attributed to adalimumab and etanercept between different IRDs. However, more research is needed to align patients' and health-care professionals' perspectives to improve knowledge on disease-specific ADRs.

Abstract
Liver disease is one of the most prominent causes of the increase in the death rate worldwide. These death rates can be reduced by early liver diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT) is a method for the analysis of liver images in clinical practice. To analyze a large number of liver images, radiologists face problems that sometimes lead to the wrong classifications of liver diseases, eventually resulting in severe conditions, such as liver cancer. Thus, a machine-learning-based method is needed to classify such problems based on their texture features. This paper suggests two different kinds of algorithms to address this challenging task of liver disease classification. Our first method, which is based on conventional machine learning, uses texture features for classification. This method uses conventional machine learning through automated texture analysis and supervised machine learning methods. For this purpose, 3000 clinically verified CT image samples were obtained from 71 patients. Appropriate image classes belonging to the same disease were trained to confirm the abnormalities in liver tissues by using supervised learning methods. Our proposed method correctly quantified asymmetric patterns in CT images using machine learning. We evaluated the effectiveness of the feature vector with the K Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF) classifiers. The second algorithm proposes a semantic segmentation model for liver disease identification. Our model is based on semantic image segmentation (SIS) using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The model encodes high-density maps through a specific guided attention method. The trained model classifies CT images into five different categories of various diseases. The compelling results obtained confirm the effectiveness of the proposed model. The study concludes that abnormalities in the human liver could be discriminated and diagnosed by texture analysis techniques, which may also assist radiologists and medical physicists in predicting the severity and proliferation of abnormalities in liver diseases.

Abstract
Introduction Several risk factors for severe COVID-19 specific for patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) have been identified so far. Evidence regarding the influence of different RMD treatments on outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection is still poor. Methods Data from the German COVID-19-RMD registry collected between 30 March 2020 and 9 April 2021 were analysed. Ordinal outcome of COVID-19 severity was defined: (1) not hospitalised, (2) hospitalised/not invasively ventilated and (3) invasively ventilated/deceased. Independent associations between demographic and disease features and outcome of COVID-19 were estimated by multivariable ordinal logistic regression using proportional odds model. Results 2274 patients were included. 83 (3.6%) patients died. Age, male sex, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, chronic lung diseases and chronic kidney disease were independently associated with worse outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Compared with rheumatoid arthritis, patients with psoriatic arthritis showed a better outcome. Disease activity and glucocorticoids were associated with worse outcome. Compared with methotrexate (MTX), TNF inhibitors (TNFi) showed a significant association with better outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection (OR 0.6, 95% CI0.4 to 0.9). Immunosuppressants (mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide and ciclosporin) (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3 to 3.9), Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.7) and rituximab (OR 5.4, 95% CI 3.3 to 8.8) were independently associated with worse outcome. Conclusion General risk factors for severity of COVID-19 play a similar role in patients with RMDs as in the normal population. Influence of disease activity on COVID-19 outcome is of great importance as patients with high disease activity—even without glucocorticoids—have a worse outcome. Patients on TNFi show a better outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection than patients on MTX. Immunosuppressants, rituximab and JAKi are associated with more severe course.

Abstract
Psoriasis; a chronic inflammatory disease is characterized by symmetric hyperkeratotic
plaques affecting any part of the body. Psoriasis is nowadays considered as a systemic inflammation
linked with several comorbidities as metabolic syndrome, depression, anxiety and increased prevalence
of cardiovascular (CV) disease. The hypothesis that psoriasis is an independent CV risk factor leading to
atherosclerosis via inflammation is now widely accepted. Deciphering the underlying mechanisms interconnecting
psoriasis and CV disease may have significant implications in treatment decisions. Accumulating
evidence suggests that systematic therapies and recently introduced biologic agents, that control
psoriasis by suppressing the chronic and systemic inflammation, may alter the progression of CV disease.
We herein attempt a review of current evidence analysing the relationship between psoriasis and
CV comorbidities, comment on the mechanisms underlying this association and investigate the consequences
for the management of psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) has changed enormously in recent years due to market authorization of a number of new biologicals with different modes of action and the increasing use of biosimilars. Real-world data on long-term safety and efficacy under routine daily conditions is not yet sufficient. Therefore, the German Rheumatism Research Center has initiated a new cohort study covering axSpA and PsA. OBJECTIVE Presentation of initial results from the new register RABBIT-SpA, which was started in May 2017. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a prospective longitudinal cohort study with a similar study design to the German biologics register RABBIT. Patients can be included at the start of a new treatment either in the so-called index drug group or in the comparison group (conventional systemic treatment, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAID). Follow-up per patient should be at least 5 years and preferably 10 years. The RABBIT-SpA uses a web-based documentation system. RESULTS Up to mid-December 2018 a total of 514 axSpA patients had been documented in RABBIT-SpA, 410 with an index drug and 104 with conventional treatment. There are differences between these treatment groups, e. g. in the duration of the disease and in parameters of disease activity. It is also noticeable that in axSpA patients, approximately 5 years lie between the onset of the symptoms and confirmation of the diagnosis. Of the 355 PsA patients, 265 were included with an index drug and 90 with conventional treatment. Of the PsA patients 86% have a dominant peripheral manifestation. The average number of pressure tender joints is 8 and the average number of swollen joints is 4. CONCLUSION The online register RABBIT-SpA is well-received by the participating rheumatological institutions. The electronic recording of patient data can be carried out in a reasonable time. Participation in the RABBIT-SpA is open to new rheumatological institutions at any time.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are among the most common infections in outpatients and the most frequent infectious cause of referrals to emergency departments in developed world, contributing to significant morbidity and healthcare expenditures. We sought to review recent literature covering epidemiology of SSTIs. RECENT FINDINGS Staphylococcus aureus and streptococci predominate and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) poses additional challenges; community-acquired-MRSA in some areas is superseding methicillin-susceptible S. aureus and multidrug resistance is evolving. Incidence data of SSTIs from United States show a decreasing trend, whereas trends of hospitalization rates were increasing. Despite low mortality associated with SSTIs, high rates of treatment failure and relapses are of concern. Diagnosis and management decisions in the emergency department (ED) lack validated tools for prediction of clinical response particularly among elderly, immunocompromised, obese, and patients with comorbidities. A variety of modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors of the host and data from local epidemiology should be considered to prevent recurrence and treatment failure. SUMMARY An evolving epidemiology of SSTIs make microbiologic documentation and surveillance of local data imperative. New assessment algorithms with potential use in the ED are a priority. The universal applicability of international guidelines is questioned in this setting.

Abstract
The recent introduction of biological agents has revolutionized the treatment of chronic immune-inflammatory diseases; however, this new therapy did not come without significant side effects.Through large controlled studies indicating decrease in the number of uveitis flares, the role of TNF inhibitors therapy for non-infectious uveitis gained more ground. Paradoxically to its therapeutic effect, there are reports associating these drugs with the onset or recurrence of inflammatory eye disease.A number of studies have suggested possible roles for anti-TNF-α agents in precipitating or worsening an underlying inflammatory process, including the hypothesis of a disequilibrium in cytokine balance, but to date the mechanisms responsible for these adverse events are not fully understood.A PubMed literature search was performed using the following terms: ophthalmic complication, uveitis, inflammatory eye disease, optic neuritis, neuropathy, adverse events, anti-TNF, TNF alpha inhibitor, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, golimumab, certolizumab, and biologics. The data presented in this study was mainly derived from the use of TNF inhibitors in rheumatology, essentially because these drugs have been used for a longer period in this medical field.Many of the ocular adverse events reported on this review may be considered a paradoxical effect of anti-TNF therapy. We found a variety of data associating new onset of uveitis with anti-TNF therapy for rheumatic conditions, predominantly under etanercept.In conclusion, although there is increasing data on ocular adverse events, it remains to be seen whether the suggested link between TNF inhibitors and the onset of ocular inflammation is substantiated by more quality data. Nevertheless, the awareness of potential treatment side effects with anti-TNF should be highlighted.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor alpha inhibitors are a relatively recent development and are becoming increasingly common in the management of many chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, ankylosing spondylitis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. However, their ocular side effect profile is incomplete and poorly recognised, with mostly anecdotal cases reported in the literature. In this report we review the literature regarding ocular side effects associated with tumour necrosis factor alpha blockade.

Abstract
Biologics are potent immunomodulatory drugs, whose application in the treatment of psoriasis has shown extremely good therapeutic results and a satisfactory safety profile. The administration of these agents in special cases, such as in patients with HIV infection, previous malignancy, unclear vaccination status as well as children, can be challenging. This report is an updated systematic review of the use of biologics in the above-mentioned groups. Articles derived from the databases PubMed, EMBASE, and SCOPUS, and published between 1989 and 2018, were analyzed for this study. The existing evidence is not in all cases sufficient in order to provide adequate insight on the management of these complex situations. The aim of this report is to present a summarized update on the knowledge of this special topic so far and to draw into attention the need to conduct more systematic studies so as to clarify the best therapeutic strategies for these special patient groups when it comes to the use of biologics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Herpes zoster (HZ) incidence is linked to immunosuppression. Patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) on systemic therapy might be at an increased risk for HZ. OBJECTIVE To assess HZ risk in patients with psoriasis and PsA by systemic treatment and provide recommendations regarding HZ vaccination. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed for HZ in patients with psoriasis and PsA. HZ vaccination guidelines were reviewed, and the medical board of the National Psoriasis Foundation made consensus recommendations in psoriasis and PsA patients using graded evidence. RESULTS In total, 41 studies met inclusion criteria. Systemic corticosteroids (strong, 1), tofacitinib (strong, 1), and combination therapy with biologic and conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (weak, 2a) carry increased HZ risk while monotherapy does not. There is insufficient evidence to determine risk with interleukin 12/23, 17, and 23 inhibitors or apremilast (weak, 2a). Recombinant zoster vaccine is recommended for all psoriasis and PsA patients >50 years old and patients <50 years old on tofacitinib, systemic steroids, or combination systemic treatment. Vaccination of patients <50 years old on other systemic therapies may be considered on a case-by-case basis. LIMITATIONS There was significant heterogeneity between studies. CONCLUSION HZ risk depends on disease severity and treatment class. Recombinant zoster vaccine should be given to all psoriasis and PsA patients >50 years old and younger patients at increased risk.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common inflammatory cutaneous disease that affects approximately 120 million people worldwide. Systemic treatments have significantly improved disease burden, but concerns persist regarding their association with increased risk of malignancy. Patients with psoriasis have a slightly elevated baseline risk of lymphoproliferative diseases. Studies on methotrexate and cyclosporine, as well as older biological agents such as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, have found no increased risk of non-cutaneous solid tumors; however, positive associations between cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and certain therapies have been found. There is conflicting evidence regarding the risk of lymphoma and melanoma. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term safety of newer psoriasis treatments (interleukin [IL]-12/23, IL-17, Janus kinase 1/3, and phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors), specifically their safety in patients with a history of cancer. This review summarizes the most recent studies on malignancy risk from psoriasis, and its treatments in patients and cancer survivors, with the highest available level of evidence.

Abstract
Serious infection is a concern for patients with psoriasis receiving biologic therapies. We assessed the risk of serious infections for biologics used to treat psoriasis by comparison with a cohort receiving non-biologic systemic therapies in a propensity score-weighted Cox proportional hazards model using data from the British Association of Dermatologists Biologic Interventions Register. Overall, 1,352; 3,271; and 994 participants were included in the etanercept, adalimumab, ustekinumab cohorts, respectively, and 3,421 participants were in the non-biologic cohort. A total of 283 patients had a serious infection; the incidence rates with 95% confidence intervals (CI) per 1,000 person-years were as follows: non-biologic, 14.2 (11.5-17.4); etanercept, 15.3 (11.6-20.1); adalimumab, 13.9 (11.4-16.6); and ustekinumab, 15.1 (10.8-21.1). No significant increases in the risk of serious infection were observed for etanercept (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.75-1.60), adalimumab (HR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.69-1.26), or ustekinumab (HR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.60-1.41) compared with non-biologic systemic therapies or methotrexate-only (etanercept: HR = 1.47, 95% CI = 0.95-2.28; adalimumab: HR = 1.26, 95% CI = 0.86-1.84; ustekinumab: HR = 1.22, 95% CI = 0.75-1.99). The risk of serious infection should not be a key discriminator for patients and clinicians when choosing between non-biologic systemic therapies, etanercept, adalimumab, and ustekinumab for the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Describe the objectives, methods and results of the first year of the new version of the Spanish registry of adverse events involving biological therapies and synthetic drugs with an identifiable target in rheumatic diseases (BIOBADASER III). METHODOLOGY Multicenter prospective registry of patients with rheumatic inflammatory diseases being treated with biological drugs or synthetic drugs with an identifiable target in rheumatology departments in Spain. The main objective of BIOBADASER Phase III is the registry and analysis of adverse events; moreover, a secondary objective was added consisting of assessing the effectiveness by means of the registry of activity indexes. Patients in the registry are evaluated at least once every year and whenever they experience an adverse event or a change in treatment. The collection of data for phase iii began on 17 December 2015. RESULTS During the first year, 35 centers participated. The number of patients included in this new phase in December 2016 was 2,664. The mean age was 53.7 years and the median duration of treatment was 8.1 years. In all, 40.4% of the patients were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. The most frequent adverse events were infections and infestations. CONCLUSIONS BIOBADASER Phase III has been launched to adapt to a changing pharmacological environment, with the introduction of biosimilars and small molecules in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. This new stage is adapted to the changes in the reporting of adverse events and now includes information related to activity scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biologic therapy is effective for treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis but may be associated with an increased risk for serious infection. OBJECTIVE To estimate the serious infection rate among patients with psoriasis treated with biologic as compared with nonbiologic systemic agents within a community-based health care delivery setting. METHODS We identified 5889 adult Kaiser Permanente Northern California health plan members with psoriasis who had ever been treated with systemic therapies and calculated the incidence rates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for serious infections over 29,717 person-years of follow-up. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) were calculated using Cox regression. RESULTS Adjusting for age, sex, race or ethnicity, and comorbidities revealed a significantly increased risk for overall serious infection among patients treated with biologics as compared with those treated with nonbiologics (aHR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.02-1.68). More specifically, there was a significantly elevated risk for skin and soft tissue infection (aHR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.19-2.56) and meningitis (aHR, 9.22; 95% CI, 1.77-48.10) during periods of active biologic use. LIMITATIONS Risk associated with individual drugs was not examined. CONCLUSION We found an increased rate of skin and soft tissue infections among patients with psoriasis treated with biologic agents. There also was a signal suggesting increased risk for meningitis. Clinicians should be aware of these potential adverse events when prescribing biologic agents.

Rate of serious infection in patients who are prescribed systemic biologic or nonbiologic agents for psoriasis: A large, single center, retrospective, observational cohort study. Dermatol Ther 2017; 30. [PMID: 28796405 DOI: 10.1111/dth.12529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2017] [Revised: 06/13/2017] [Accepted: 07/12/2017] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic biologic and nonbiologic agents used to treat psoriasis may or may not contribute to serious infection (SI) risk. Safety data, particularly for biologic agents, and associated risk for SI, are scarce. The study's aim was to explore the risk for SI in psoriasis patients exposed to systemic biologic or nonbiologic agents. METHODS A large, single-center electronic medical record repository was searched between January 2010 and December 2014. Records for patients prescribed a systemic agent for psoriasis (SAP) with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis diagnoses were included (ICD-9 codes 696.1 and 696.0, respectively). SIs were those who required hospitalization, and/or injectable antibacterial, antiviral or antifungal therapy. SIs occurring within 120 days after exposure to a SAP, were included for study. RESULTS A total of 1,346 patients were exposed to a SAP between January 2010 and December 2014; 27 (2%) had a SI. Comparing biologic and nonbiologic agent exposure, no statistically significant difference for risk of SI was detectable (p = .83). CONCLUSION In this population, the SI rate for biologic and nonbiologic systemic agents was clinically indistinguishable, thereby supporting consideration of the entire spectrum of available systemic therapeutic agents, both biologic and nonbiologic agents, for management of moderate to severe psoriasis.

Risk of serious infections, cutaneous bacterial infections, and granulomatous infections in patients with psoriasis treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor agents versus classic therapies: Prospective meta-analysis of Psonet registries. J Am Acad Dermatol 2016; 76:299-308.e16. [PMID: 27693008 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2016.07.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2016] [Revised: 07/19/2016] [Accepted: 07/19/2016] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in psoriasis has been associated with an increased risk of serious infections compared with nonbiologic systemic therapies. OBJECTIVE We sought to quantify the risk of: (1) serious infections (leading to hospitalization, sequelae, or death); and (2) "any infection," bacterial cutaneous infections, and granulomatous infections among patients receiving anti-TNF therapy compared with nonbiologics (acitretin, methotrexate, cyclosporine). METHODS We used prospective meta-analysis to combine data from the Psocare registry (Italy), Biobadaderm registry (Spain), and Clalit Health Services database (Israel), including 17,739 patients and 23,357.5 person-years of follow-up. RESULTS For serious infections, age, gender, and Charlson morbidity index adjusted hazard ratio of exposure to anti-TNFs compared with nonbiologics was 0.98 (95% confidence interval 0.80-1.19), for bacterial cutaneous infections it was 1.00 (95% confidence interval 0.62-1.61), and for granulomatous infections it was 1.23 (95% confidence interval 0.82-1.84). Using methotrexate as comparator and comparing first year of exposure with later exposure did not modify the results. For any infectious episode, risks and relative risks were heterogeneous among registries, probably because of different definitions of outcome. LIMITATIONS There was lack of power to describe risk of single drugs. CONCLUSION In current clinical practice, treatment with anti-TNF drugs was not associated with a higher risk of serious infections than treatment with nonbiologic systemic therapy.
