Comparison between super-responders and non-super-responders in psoriasis under adalimumab treatment: a real-life cohort study on the effectiveness and drug survival over one-year. J DERMATOL TREAT 2024; 35:2331782. [PMID: 38513258 DOI: 10.1080/09546634.2024.2331782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the characteristics and treatment outcomes of super-responders and non-super-responders in psoriasis under adalimumab treatment are limited. METHODS A retrospective analysis from psoriatic patients treated with adalimumab was compared to characterize super-responders vs non-super-responders' groups, identify factors associated with super response, and assess treatment outcomes after switching. RESULTS 15 out of 70 (21.4%) patients were categorized as super-responder. The proportion of patients achieving a PASI 100 response was significantly higher in super-responders than non-super-responders at weeks 12, 24, and 52. Female sex and Charlson Co-morbidity Index were significantly associated with super-responders. A high level of high-density lipoprotein was independently associated with PASI 90 response at weeks 24 and 52. Additionally, nearly 35%-43% of non-super-responders switching to interleukin-17A (IL-17A) inhibitors may achieve a PASI 100 response at week 12. In contrast, all super-responders switching to IL-17A inhibitors achieved a PASI 100 response at week 4. CONCLUSIONS Super-responders treated with adalimumab have a higher rate of being female and fewer comorbidities. And super-responders have better PASI responses than non-super-responders, whether the patients were treated with adalimumab or switched to IL-17A inhibitors.

[PMID: 38576247 PMCID: PMC10995612 DOI: 10.5021/ad.23.074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Biologics have demonstrated high efficacy in achieving 'almost complete' skin clearance in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Nonetheless, achieving 'complete' skin clearance remains a treatment goal for some highly biologics-resistant patients, as residual lesions impact their quality of life. OBJECTIVE The risk factors for failure to achieve a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 100 response in patients with good response to biologics remain unknown. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated the risk factors by comparing patients who achieved complete skin clearance (PASI100) with those who achieved almost complete skin clearance (PASI90). A database of 131 psoriasis patients treated with biologics, who achieved a PASI90 or PASI100 response, was reviewed from a tertiary referral hospital in South Korea. The patients were classified into PASI90 and PASI100 groups according to their PASI response. RESULTS The PASI100 group had a lower prevalence of smoking history (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.14-0.85; p=0.021) and psoriasis on the anterior lower legs at baseline (adjusted OR, 0.18; 95% CI, 0.03-0.99; p=0.049) than patients in the PASI90 group. CONCLUSION This study suggested that smoking history and psoriatic skin lesions on the anterior lower legs are considered as the risk factors for the failure to achieve a PASI100 response in psoriasis patients treated with biologics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The EULAR task force recently published the difficult-to-treat RA (D2T RA) definition, however, a definition of D2T axSpA is still lacking and limitations in this definition exist. The objectives were to study the characteristics of D2T axSpA patients using the EULAR definition and to study a subgroup of patients with a predefined more stringent definition including a temporal criterion. METHODS A multicentric retrospective study was performed. D2T axSpA was defined as failure of≥2 b/tsDMARDs with different mechanism of action. Very D2T axSpA was defined as failure of≥2 b/tsDMARDs in less than 2 years of follow-up. D2T and Very D2T axSpA patients were compared to non-D2T (nD2T) axSpA patients. RESULTS Three hundred and eleven axSpA patients were included: 88 D2T axSpA (28.3%) and 223 non-D2T (nD2T) axSpA (71.7%). Peripheral involvement was more prevalent in the D2T group (34.9 vs. 21.4%; P=0.015). BASDAI level at baseline was higher in the D2T group (63.7±16.5 vs. 58.8±14.7; P=0.015). Fibromyalgia was found to be more frequent in the D2T group vs nD2T group (P<0.001). Twelve patients (3.8%) were categorized as very D2T axSpA. Compared to nD2T, Very D2T patients had a higher CRP level at baseline (42.0±31.3 vs. 17.8±23.1; P=0.010). IBD prevalence at baseline was higher in the very D2T group (41.7 vs. 3.1%; P<0.001). None of the very D2T patients presented a fibromyalgia. CONCLUSION D2T axSpA was associated with higher disease activity, peripheral involvement, extra-musculoskeletal manifestations and fibromyalgia. Very D2T patients represented a minim proportion of patients after applying a more stringent definition including a temporal criterion of 2 years and might be independent from fibromyalgia.

Abstract
It is unknown why some patients with psoriasis experience long-term effectiveness with their first biologic monotherapy. Our aim was to compare the baseline demographic, disease, genotypic, clinical and lifestyle characteristics of patients with psoriasis registered in the British Association of Dermatologists Biologics and Immunomodulators Register and the aligned Biomarkers and Stratification to Optimise outcomes in Psoriasis study who were designated as ‘super responders’ (SRs), defined as patients on their first biologic with more than 5 years continuous biologic monotherapy, or ‘super nonresponders’ (SNRs), defined as patients on their first biologic who had discontinued at least two biologics in their first year of treatment, to biologic therapy. Female sex, shorter study follow-up, higher Dermatology Life Quality Index, high frequency of adalimumab, less frequency of ustekinumab at registration, and higher number of comorbidities were associated with SNRs compared with SRs.

Abstract
Psoriasis can have a significant impact on quality of life and productivity, especially with increased severity. However, there is limited evidence on biologics' efficacy in highly severe cases compared to moderate-to-severe ones. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of novel biological therapies in very severe psoriasis. We conducted a retrospective analysis on patients ≥ 18 years old affected by very severe psoriasis who had received a biological agent for at least 16 weeks. We used PASI to assess disease severity and effectiveness at weeks 16, 52, 104, and 156. Safety was evaluated by tracking treatment discontinuation rates and adverse events. This study included 29 males and 11 females, with a mean age of 55.80 years (SD 13.82). Cardiometabolic diseases were the most common comorbidities (25.00%). Twenty-eight (70.00%) patients had psoriasis involvement in at least one difficult-to-treat area. All patients completed 16 weeks of treatment. The mean PASI was 31.60 (SD 2.57) at baseline, 3.48 (SD 4.13) at week 16, 0.58 (SD 1.70) at week 52, 0.77 (SD 1.66) at week 104, and 1.29 (SD 2.12) at week 156. PASI90 and 100 were achieved by 52.50% and 30.00% of patients at week 16, by 96.15% and 80.77% at week 52, by 93.33% and 66.67% at week 104, and by 85.71% and 42.86% at week 156. PASIs ≤ 2 were achieved by 50.00% of patients at week 16, 88.46% at week 52, 86.67% at week 104, and 85.71% at week 156. Only two patients discontinued biologics due to complete remission, and mild AEs were reported by four patients. Our findings show that biologics are effective and well tolerated for treating very severe psoriasis, maintaining long-term effectiveness.

Abstract
In the registration trial of risankizumab for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in Japan, similar Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) responses were observed for 75 mg or 150 mg risankizumab at most time points up to 52 weeks, except for PASI 100 at week 16. The use of 75 mg risankizumab offers an attractive option considering the high cost of risankizumab. However, it is unknown whether patients with mild-to-moderate psoriasis respond similarly, and the efficacy data of non-Japanese patients is also lacking. We retrospectively included 30 consecutive Chinese patients receiving half-dose (75 mg) risankizumab as scheduled up to 52 weeks. Compared with biologic-experienced group, biologic-naive group had a significantly higher PASI 50/75/90/100 achievement (p = 0.0098/0.0039/0.0016/0.0054) at week 52. PASI 50/75/90/100 curves in biologic-naive group (p = 0.0117/0.0239/0.0143/0.0269) were also significantly higher when analysed generalized estimating equations (GEE) model. Though there was no statistically significant difference in terms of PASI 50/75/90/100 responses at any time points between those with body weight ≦ 65 kg and those >65 kg, a tendency of secondary failure was noted in those >65 kg from week 40 onwards. Patients who were both biologic-naive and weighed ≦ 65 kg achieved sustained PASI 50/75/90 responses from week 16/28/40 onwards, respectively, indicating that they could be considered as potential candidates for 75 mg risankizumab. Though PASI 75 curve in patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) surpassed that in patient without DM, curves of other parameters did not reach significance when analysed by GEE model. There was no HBV, HCV or TB reactivation, nor other new safety signals during the 52-week observational period. Providing risankizumab with flexible dosing options is beneficial in clinical practice considering the high cost of this medication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The EULAR task force recently published the difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2T RA) criteria, however, a definition of D2T patients in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is still lacking. To date, we have little data concerning D2T PsA, especially in real-world. One of the limitations of the D2T RA EULAR definition is the absence of a temporal criterion. The primary endpoint of this work was to study the characteristics of D2T PsA patients using the EULAR definition. The second objective was to study a sub-group of patients with a predefined more stringent definition including a temporal criterion. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in a tertiary center. D2T PsA was defined as failure of ≥ 2 b/tsDMARDs with different mechanism of action. Very D2T PsA was defined as failure of ≥ 2 b/tsDMARDs in less than 2 years of follow-up. D2T and Very D2T PsA patients were compared to nD2T PsA patients using statistical tests. RESULTS 150 PsA patients were included (from 2004 to 2015): 49 D2T PsA and 101 nD2T PsA. D2T PsA was associated with a higher prevalence of axial involvement (p=0.030), axial and/or peripheral structural damage (p=0.007) at baseline and more bDMARDs discontinuation due to poor dermatological control (p=0.005). There was no significant difference regarding comorbidities such as obesity, smoking status, fibromyalgia or depression. In multivariate analysis, peripheral structural damage at baseline was found to be a predictive factor for D2T PsA with an OR of 2.57 (1.16 to 5.69; p=0.020). 17 PsA (11.3%) patients were categorized as Very D2T PsA. When compared to nD2T group, proportion of obesity was higher (p=0.015) and axial involvement was more prevalent in the Very D2T group (p=0.020). CONCLUSION D2T PsA patients had a higher prevalence of axial involvement, peripheral structural damage and therapeutic discontinuation due to poor dermatological control whereas Very D2T PsA patients were more likely obese with axial involvement. Very D2T PsA represent a minim proportion among patients when applying a more stringent definition. Pending the PsA D2T definition by the European and American societies, this study highlights some characteristics that may help practitioners better identify D2T patients.

Abstract
Whether response to an interleukin (IL-17) inhibitor is different in patients with previous exposure to an IL-17 inhibitor compared with patients with exposure to biologics with other cytokine targets remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess whether previous exposure to an IL-17A inhibitor was associated with worse response than exposure to (an)other biologic(s). All patients in the DERMBIO register treated with an IL-17A inhibitor (secukinumab or ixekizumab) were included. With an absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≤ 2 as response, the proportion of responders treated with IL-17A inhibitors was assessed in patients previously treated with another IL-17A inhibitor and compared with patients with previous exposure to (an)other biologic(s), using a χ2 test. In total, 100, 93 and 83 patients with previous exposure to an IL-17A inhibitor and 414, 372 and 314 patients with previous exposure to (an) other biologic(s) were assessed after 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. No differences in the proportion of patients achieving PASI ≤ 2 were observed between the 2 groups after 3 months (54% vs 57%, p = 0.59), 6months (70% vs 66%, p = 0.42) and 12 months (69% vs 60%, p = 0.14). In conclusion, when treating patients with IL-17A inhibitors the cytokine target of the previous biologic does not appear to affect the response.

Abstract
Interim analysis of the National Skin Centre Singapore Psoriasis Biologics Registry (SINGPSOR) from August 2017 to May 2021, in which 58 patients were analysed, showing that those receiving biologic treatment had significantly more severe psoriasis based on PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index), BSA (body surface area) and PGA (Physician Global Assessment) measures at baseline, demonstrated a statistically non-significant trend towards greater improvement with treatment, and had a lower percentage of adverse events compared to those receiving conventional systemic therapy. Future analyses of SINGPSOR, with larger sample size and longer follow-up, will be invaluable to further characterize these patients and their treatment outcomes.

Brodalumab in plaque psoriasis: Real-world data on effectiveness, safety and clinical predictive factors of initial response and drug survival over a period of 104 weeks. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2023; 37:689-697. [PMID: 36562663 DOI: 10.1111/jdv.18825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Brodalumab, a fully human IgG2k antibody blocking the receptor of IL17, is characterized by a rapid onset of action with high skin clearance rates in clinical trials. Since setting PASI90/100 or absolute PASI ≤ 3 as treatment goals have become attainable, evaluating the effectiveness and safety profile of biologic agents, such as brodalumab, in a real-world setting is essential. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of brodalumab over a period of 104 weeks in everyday practice. Clinical predictive factors of initial (week 12/16) response to treatment and long-term drug survival were also investigated. METHODS In this monocentric, retrospective study, PASI90/100 and absolute PASI ≤ 1/3 were assessed in 91 patients with moderate-to-severe skin psoriasis under brodalumab at weeks 12/16, 24, 52 and 104 of treatment. At week 12/16, patients with an absolute PASI ≤ 3 were defined as 'initial responders' and ≤1 as 'super-responders'. Clinical parameters, such as age, gender, BMI, comorbidities and previous systemic treatment, were assessed in order to predict 'super-responders'. Drug survival and its prognostic factors were also evaluated. RESULTS PASI90/100 has reached 81.1/66.0% in week 12/16. This response rate increased at week 104, where 87.1/80.7% had PASI90/100 and 84.9% had absolute PASI ≤ 1. The presence of >3 comorbidities, prior treatment with >2 systemic agents and obesity tended to be negative predictive factors of 'super-response'. Previous exposure to IL17 inhibitors had no impact on both PASI < 1 and PASI < 3 initial response. One- and two-year drug survival probability was 87.6% and 77.32%, respectively. 'Initial responders' and anti-IL17 drug-naïve patients had better drug survival. Drug discontinuation occurred in 24.2%, mostly due to secondary failure, and arthralgia was the most common adverse event that led to discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirms the high effectiveness and good safety profile of brodalumab in the real-world setting.

[PMID: 36837593 PMCID: PMC9961708 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59020393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease whose impact on health is not only limited to the skin, but is also associated with multiple comorbidities. Early screening for comorbidities along with appropriate treatment plans can provide a positive prognosis for patients. This study aimed to summarize the knowledge structure in the field of psoriasis comorbidities and further explore its research hotspots and trends through bibliometrics. Materials and Methods: A search was conducted in the core collection of the Web of Science for literature on comorbidities of psoriasis from 2004 to 2022. VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were used for collaborative network analysis, co-citation analysis of references, and keyword co-occurrence analysis on these publications. Results: A total of 1803 papers written by 6741 authors from 81 countries was included. The publications have shown a progressive increase since 2004. The United States and Europe were at the forefront of this field. The most prolific institution was the University of California, and the most productive author was A. Armstrong. Research has focused on "psoriatic arthritis", "metabolic syndrome", "cardiovascular disease", "psychosomatic disease", "inflammatory bowel disease", "prevalence", "quality of life", and "risk factor" in the past 18 years. Keywords such as "biologics" and "systemic inflammation", have been widely used recently, suggesting current research hotspots and trends. Conclusions: Over the past 18 years, tremendous progress has been made in research on psoriasis comorbidity. However, collaborations among countries, institutions, and investigators are inadequate, and the study of the mechanisms of interaction between psoriasis and comorbidities and management of comorbidities is insufficient. The treatment of comorbidities with biologic agents, screening of comorbidities, and multidisciplinary co-management are predicted to be the focus of future research.

Efficacy of Tildrakizumab Across Different Body Weights in Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis Over 5 Years: Pooled Analyses from the reSURFACE Pivotal Studies. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2022; 12:2325-2341. [PMID: 36098877 PMCID: PMC9515266 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-022-00793-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Tildrakizumab (TIL), a monoclonal antibody that selectively targets interleukin-23p19, has been approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. According to the European Medicines Agency Summary of Product Characteristics, the recommended dose is 100 mg, but a 200 mg dose can be used in patients with certain characteristics, such as a high disease burden or body weight (BW) ≥ 90 kg. Fixed one-dose biological therapies tend to become less effective in patients with high BW. This post-hoc study describes the long-term efficacy of TIL across different BWs in pivotal clinical trials. Methods A 5-year pooled analysis of two double-blind, randomised, controlled phase III trials—reSURFACE 1 and 2—was performed. Efficacy measures were the proportions of the patients with an absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) of < 3 and < 1 and a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) of 0/1. The study population included patients randomised to TIL 100 mg or TIL 200 mg who received ≥ 1 TIL dose up to week 12 (part 1 of the trial) or up to week 28 (part 2) and patients who were responders (≥ 75% improvement in PASI) to TIL 100 or TIL 200 mg at week 28 and who were maintained on the same dose up to week 244. Efficacy was evaluated by analysing BW subgroups at weeks 28, 52 and 244. Missing data were analysed using multiple imputation. Safety was assessed in the all-patients-as-treated population. Results The proportions of TIL-treated patients with PASI < 3 and < 1 (up to week 244) and DLQI 0/1 (up to week 52) were similar for patients with BW < 90 or ≥ 90 kg, regardless of dose. Patients ≥ 120 kg had greater efficacy outcomes at the 200 mg dose. Safety outcomes were similar regardless of treatment dose and weight (< 120/≥ 120 kg). Conclusion In patients with BW ≥ 120 kg, TIL 200 mg is more efficacious than TIL 100 mg, with similar favourable safety profiles obtained regardless of dose and BW group. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01722331 (reSURFACE 1) and NCT01729754 (reSURFACE 2).

Abstract
A fast skin clearance is the main goal to achieve in psoriasis treatment. Patients that present a fast and exceptional improvement with treatment are called super-responders (SR). There is no consensus on the definition of SR with respect to psoriasis. Included herein is a retrospective analysis of a multicenter, observational study of real clinical practices including patients with moderate-to-severe plaque PSO undergoing treatment with Guselkumab (GUS). This cross-sectional analysis includes information on patients between February 2019 to February 2022. A SR is a patient that achieved a PASI = 0 at weeks 12 and 24. Analyses have been performed “as observed” using GraphPad Prism version 8.3.0 for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA, At baseline, the PASI is significantly correlated with VAS_pruritus, BSA, and DLQI, while DLQI is significantly correlated with VAS_pruritus. Significant correlations increase in number and magnitude over the follow-up time. In relation to the univariate logistic models carried out, only three variables showed a significant association with the super-responder variable: depression, VAS_pruritus, and DLQI.SR patients, who show a faster evolution in PASI and BSA improvement than non-SRs. Based on the results obtained, it would be possible to also include DLQI and VAS_pruritus in the broader concept of the SR.
