Amplitude Analysis of the B^{0}→K^{*0}μ^{+}μ^{-} Decay. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 132:131801.

Abstract
An amplitude analysis of the B^{0}→K^{*0}μ^{+}μ^{-} decay is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb^{-1} of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. For the first time, the coefficients associated to short-distance physics effects, sensitive to processes beyond the standard model, are extracted directly from the data through a q^{2}-unbinned amplitude analysis, where q^{2} is the μ^{+}μ^{-} invariant mass squared. Long-distance contributions, which originate from nonfactorizable QCD processes, are systematically investigated, and the most accurate assessment to date of their impact on the physical observables is obtained. The pattern of measured corrections to the short-distance couplings is found to be consistent with previous analyses of b- to s-quark transitions, with the largest discrepancy from the standard model predictions found to be at the level of 1.8 standard deviations. The global significance of the observed differences in the decay is 1.4 standard deviations.

Abstract
The first observation of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}K^{+} and Ω_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} decays is reported, using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb^{-1}, collected with the LHCb detector between 2016 and 2018. The branching fraction ratios are measured to be B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}K^{+})/B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+})=[6.08±0.51(stat)±0.40(syst)]%,B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+})/B(Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+})=[15.81±0.87(stat)±0.44(syst)±0.16(ext)]%. In addition, using the Ω_{c}^{0}→Ω^{-}π^{+} decay channel, the Ω_{c}^{0} baryon mass is measured to be M(Ω_{c}^{0})=2695.28±0.07(stat)±0.27(syst)±0.30(ext) MeV, improving the precision of the previous world average by a factor of 4.

Enhanced Production of Λ_{b}^{0} Baryons in High-Multiplicity pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 132:081901.

Abstract
The production rate of Λ_{b}^{0} baryons relative to B^{0} mesons in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[s]=13 TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment. The ratio of Λ_{b}^{0} to B^{0} production cross sections shows a significant dependence on both the transverse momentum and the measured charged-particle multiplicity. At low multiplicity, the ratio measured at LHCb is consistent with the value measured in e^{+}e^{-} collisions, and increases by a factor of ∼2 with increasing multiplicity. At relatively low transverse momentum, the ratio of Λ_{b}^{0} to B^{0} cross sections is higher than what is measured in e^{+}e^{-} collisions, but converges with the e^{+}e^{-} ratio as the momentum increases. These results imply that the evolution of heavy b quarks into final-state hadrons is influenced by the density of the hadronic environment produced in the collision. Comparisons with several models and implications for the mechanisms enforcing quark confinement are discussed.

Abstract
The decay-time-dependent CP asymmetry in B_{s}^{0}→J/ψ(→μ^{+}μ^{-})K^{+}K^{-} decays is measured using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb^{-1}, collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Using a sample of approximately 349 000 B_{s}^{0} signal decays with an invariant K^{+}K^{-} mass in the vicinity of the ϕ(1020) resonance, the CP-violating phase ϕ_{s} is measured, along with the difference in decay widths of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the B_{s}^{0}-B[over ¯]_{s}^{0} system, ΔΓ_{s}, and the difference of the average B_{s}^{0} and B^{0} meson decay widths, Γ_{s}-Γ_{d}. The values obtained are ϕ_{s}=-0.039±0.022±0.006 rad, ΔΓ_{s}=0.0845±0.0044±0.0024 ps^{-1}, and Γ_{s}-Γ_{d}=-0.0056_{-0.0015}^{+0.0013}±0.0014 ps^{-1}, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. These are the most precise single measurements to date and are consistent with expectations based on the Standard Model and with the previous LHCb analyses of this decay. These results are combined with previous independent LHCb measurements. The phase ϕ_{s} is also measured independently for each polarization state of the K^{+}K^{-} system and shows no evidence for polarization dependence.

Abstract
A measurement of time-dependent CP violation in the decays of B^{0} and B[over ¯]^{0} mesons to the final states J/ψ(→μ^{+}μ^{-})K_{S}^{0}, ψ(2S)(→μ^{+}μ^{-})K_{S}^{0} and J/ψ(→e^{+}e^{-})K_{S}^{0} with K_{S}^{0}→π^{+}π^{-} is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb^{-1} collected at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13 TeV with the LHCb detector. The CP-violation parameters are measured to be S_{ψK_{S}^{0}}=0.717±0.013(stat)±0.008(syst) and C_{ψK_{S}^{0}}=0.008±0.012(stat)±0.003(syst). This measurement of S_{ψK_{S}^{0}} represents the most precise single measurement of the CKM angle β to date and is more precise than the current world average. In addition, measurements of the CP-violation parameters of the individual channels are reported and a combination with the LHCb Run 1 measurements is performed.

Precision Measurement of CP Violation in the Penguin-Mediated Decay B_{s}^{0}→ϕϕ. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 131:171802.

Abstract
A flavor-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of the decay B_{s}^{0}→ϕϕ is performed using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb^{-1}. The CP-violating phase and direct CP-violation parameter are measured to be ϕ_{s}^{ss[over ¯]s}=-0.042±0.075±0.009 rad and |λ|=1.004±0.030±0.009, respectively, assuming the same values for all polarization states of the ϕϕ system. In these results, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These parameters are also determined separately for each polarization state, showing no evidence for polarization dependence. The results are combined with previous LHCb measurements using pp collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, yielding ϕ_{s}^{ss[over ¯]s}=-0.074±0.069 rad and |λ|=1.009±0.030. This is the most precise study of time-dependent CP violation in a penguin-dominated B meson decay. The results are consistent with CP symmetry and with the standard model predictions.

Abstract
The branching fraction of the rare decay Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ(1520)μ^{+}μ^{-} is measured for the first time, in the squared dimuon mass intervals q^{2}, excluding the J/ψ and ψ(2S) regions. The data sample analyzed was collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. The result in the highest q^{2} interval, q^{2}>15.0 GeV^{2}/c^{4}, where theoretical predictions have the smallest model dependence, agrees with the predictions.

Evidence with a significance of 4.0 standard deviations of a structure in the J/ψK_{S}^{0} system, named T_{ψs1}^{θ}(4000)^{0}, is seen, with its mass and width measured to be 3991_{-10}^{+12} _{-17}^{+9} MeV/c^{2} and 105_{-25}^{+29} _{-23}^{+17} MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The T_{ψs1}^{θ}(4000)^{0} state is likely to be the isospin partner of the T_{ψs1}^{θ}(4000)^{+} state, previously observed in the J/ψK^{+} system of the B^{+}→J/ψϕK^{+} decay. When isospin symmetry for the charged and neutral T_{ψs1}^{θ}(4000) states is assumed, the signal significance increases to 5.4 standard deviations.

Abstract
The ratios of branching fractions R(D^{*})≡B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}) and R(D^{0})≡B(B^{-}→D^{0}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B^{-}→D^{0}μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}) are measured, assuming isospin symmetry, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν_{τ}ν[over ¯]_{μ}. The measured values are R(D^{*})=0.281±0.018±0.024 and R(D^{0})=0.441±0.060±0.066, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The correlation between these measurements is ρ=-0.43. The results are consistent with the current average of these quantities and are at a combined 1.9 standard deviations from the predictions based on lepton flavor universality in the standard model.

Abstract
The production of prompt D^{0} mesons in proton-lead collisions in both the forward and backward rapidity regions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=8.16 TeV is measured by the LHCb experiment. The nuclear modification factor of prompt D^{0} mesons is determined as a function of the transverse momentum p_{T}, and the rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass frame y^{*}. In the forward rapidity region, significantly suppressed production with respect to pp collisions is measured, which provides significant constraints on models of nuclear parton distributions and hadron production down to the very low Bjorken-x region of ∼10^{-5}. In the backward rapidity region, a suppression with a significance of 2.0-3.8 standard deviations compared to parton distribution functions in a nuclear environment expectations is found in the kinematic region of p_{T}>6 GeV/c and -3.25

Abstract
The time-integrated CP asymmetry in the Cabibbo-suppressed decay D^{0}→K^{-}K^{+} is measured using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.7 fb^{-1} collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the LHCb detector. The D^{0} mesons are required to originate from promptly produced D^{*+}→D^{0}π^{+} decays, and the charge of the companion pion is used to determine the flavor of the charm meson at production. The time-integrated CP asymmetry is measured to be A_{CP}(K^{-}K^{+})=[6.8±5.4±1.6]×10^{-4} where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The direct CP asymmetries in D^{0}→K^{-}K^{+} and D^{0}→π^{-}π^{+} decays, a_{K^{-}K^{+}}^{d} and a_{π^{-}π^{+}}^{d}, are derived by combining A_{CP}(K^{-}K^{+}) with the time-integrated CP asymmetry difference, ΔA_{CP}=A_{CP}(K^{-}K^{+})-A_{CP}(π^{-}π^{+}), and other inputs, giving a_{K^{-}K^{+}}^{d}=(7.7±5.7)×10^{-4},a_{π^{-}π^{+}}^{d}=(23.2±6.1)×10^{-4},with a correlation coefficient corresponding to ρ=0.88. The compatibility of these results with CP symmetry is 1.4 and 3.8 standard deviations for D^{0}→K^{-}K^{+} and D^{0}→π^{-}π^{+} decays, respectively. This is the first evidence for direct CP violation in a specific D^{0} decay.

Abstract
Searches for the rare hadronic decays B^{0}→pp[over ¯]pp[over ¯] and B_{s}^{0}→pp[over ¯]pp[over ¯] are performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. Significances of 9.3σ and 4.0σ, including statistical and systematic uncertainties, are obtained for the B^{0}→pp[over ¯]pp[over ¯] and B_{s}^{0}→pp[over ¯]pp[over ¯] signals, respectively. The branching fractions are measured relative to the topologically similar normalization decays B^{0}→J/ψ(→pp[over ¯])K^{*0}(→K^{+}π^{-}) and B_{s}^{0}→J/ψ(→pp[over ¯])ϕ(→K^{+}K^{-}). The branching fractions are measured to be B(B^{0}→pp[over ¯]pp[over ¯])=(2.2±0.4±0.1±0.1)×10^{-8} and B(B_{s}^{0}→pp[over ¯]pp[over ¯])=(2.3±1.0±0.2±0.1)×10^{-8}. In these measurements, the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third one is due to the external branching fraction of the normalization channel.

Observation of a Resonant Structure near the D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} Threshold in the B^{+}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}K^{+} Decay. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 131:071901.

Abstract
An amplitude analysis of the B^{+}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}K^{+} decay is carried out to study for the first time its intermediate resonant contributions, using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. A near-threshold peaking structure, referred to as X(3960), is observed in the D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} invariant-mass spectrum with significance greater than 12 standard deviations. The mass, width, and the quantum numbers of the structure are measured to be 3956±5±10 MeV, 43±13±8 MeV, and J^{PC}=0^{++}, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The properties of the new structure are consistent with recent theoretical predictions for a state composed of cc[over ¯]ss[over ¯] quarks. Evidence for an additional structure is found around 4140 MeV in the D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} invariant mass, which might be caused either by a new resonance with the 0^{++} assignment or by a J/ψϕ↔D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} coupled-channel effect.

Abstract
The first simultaneous test of muon-electron universality using B^{+}→K^{+}ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} and B^{0}→K^{*0}ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} decays is performed, in two ranges of the dilepton invariant-mass squared, q^{2}. The analysis uses beauty mesons produced in proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. Each of the four lepton universality measurements reported is either the first in the given q^{2} interval or supersedes previous LHCb measurements. The results are compatible with the predictions of the Standard Model.

Abstract
A combined amplitude analysis is performed for the decays B^{0}→D[over ¯]^{0}D_{s}^{+}π^{-} and B^{+}→D^{-}D_{s}^{+}π^{+}, which are related by isospin symmetry. The analysis is based on data collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The full data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. Two new resonant states with masses of 2.908±0.011±0.020 GeV and widths of 0.136±0.023±0.013 GeV are observed, which decay to D_{s}^{+}π^{+} and D_{s}^{+}π^{-} respectively. The former state indicates the first observation of a doubly charged open-charm tetraquark state with minimal quark content [cs[over ¯]ud[over ¯]], and the latter state is a neutral tetraquark composed of [cs[over ¯]u[over ¯]d] quarks. Both states are found to have spin-parity of 0^{+}, and their resonant parameters are consistent with each other, which suggests that they belong to an isospin triplet.

Search for Rare Decays of D^{0} Mesons into Two Muons. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 131:041804. [PMID: 37566853 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.131.041804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
A search for the very rare D^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-} decay is performed using data collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. The search is optimized for D^{0} mesons from D^{*+}→D^{0}π^{+} decays but is also sensitive to D^{0} mesons from other sources. No evidence for an excess of events over the expected background is observed. An upper limit on the branching fraction of this decay is set at B(D^{0}→μ^{+}μ^{-})<3.1×10^{-9} at a 90% C.L. This represents the world's most stringent limit, constraining models of physics beyond the standard model.

Abstract
An amplitude analysis of B^{-}→J/ψΛp[over ¯] decays is performed using 4400 signal candidates selected on a data sample of pp collisions recorded at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. A narrow resonance in the J/ψΛ system, consistent with a pentaquark candidate with strangeness, is observed with high significance. The mass and the width of this new state are measured to be 4338.2±0.7±0.4 MeV and 7.0±1.2±1.3 MeV, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The spin is determined to be 1/2 and negative parity is preferred. Because of the small Q-value of the reaction, the most precise single measurement of the B^{-} mass to date, 5279.44±0.05±0.07 MeV, is obtained.

Clinical comparison of superior thyroid artery perforator flap and sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap for intraoral reconstruction. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023; 52:318-327. [PMID: 35835682 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2022.06.017] [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: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the techniques and outcomes of superior thyroid artery perforator flaps (STAPF) for intraoral reconstruction and to compare them with those of the sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap (SCMMF). The cases of 43 patients who underwent reconstruction with either a SCMMF or STAPF for the repair of a medium-sized intraoral defect, between January 2013 and December 2020, were reviewed retrospectively. Although both flaps are based on the superior thyroid artery, their specific harvesting techniques largely differ. All SCMMF (n = 23) were superiorly-based rotational flaps with myocutaneous designs. The STAPF cases (n = 20) included 18 septocutaneous flaps and two chimeric flaps. The flap size was larger in the STAPF group (P = 0.008), while incomplete level IIB dissection (oncological safety) was more frequent in the SCMMF group (P = 0.002). The flap necrosis rate was lower in the STAPF group (STAPF 15% vs SCMMF 34.8%, though this was not statistically significant). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the postoperative flap outcome (total flap necrosis vs flap survival; hazard ratio 27, 95% confidence interval 2.149-336.05; P = 0.001) and complications (excluding fistula) (hazard ratio 14, 95% confidence interval 1.314-142.767; P = 0.029) were associated with overall patient survival. Both speech (P < 0.001) and neck mobility (P < 0.001) functions were superior with STAPF reconstruction. Compared with the traditional SCMMF, the STAPF was found to have a lower necrosis rate with uncompromised oncological safety during harvesting. The STAPF is a good alternative for the repair of medium-sized head and neck defects.

Abstract
The first study of the angular distribution of μ^{+}μ^{-} pairs produced in the forward rapidity region via the Drell-Yan reaction pp→γ^{*}/Z+X→ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-}+X is presented, using data collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.1 fb^{-1}. The coefficients of the five leading terms in the angular distribution are determined as a function of the dimuon transverse momentum and rapidity. The results are compared to various theoretical predictions of the Z-boson production mechanism and can also be used to probe transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions within the proton.

Abstract
The first full angular analysis and an updated measurement of the decay-rate CP asymmetry of the D^{0}→π^{+}π^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} and D^{0}→K^{+}K^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} decays are reported. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. The full set of CP -averaged angular observables and their CP asymmetries are measured as a function of the dimuon invariant mass. The results are consistent with expectations from the standard model and with CP symmetry.

Abstract
BackgroundIn the phase 3 DISCOVER-2 (D2) study, guselkumab (GUS) 100 mg every 4/8 weeks (Q4W/Q8W) significantly improved joint and skin symptoms in patients (pts) with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA); GUS-treated pts had smaller mean changes in radiographic progression vs placebo (PBO) at W24.1 Clinical response rates and favorable safety profile were durable through W100.2, 3ObjectivesTo report details of radiographic assessments comprising Reading Session 3 through W100 of D2, including relationships between radiographic changes and measures of clinical outcomes.MethodsBiologic-naïve adults with active PsA (≥5 swollen + ≥5 tender joint count; CRP ≥0.6 mg/dL) were randomized (1:1:1) to GUS 100 mg Q4W; GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, then Q8W; or PBO with crossover to GUS 100 mg Q4W (PBO→Q4W) at W24, all through W100. Radiographic Reading Session 3 included assessments at W0/24/52/100 (or at discontinuation after W52) from pts ontinuing study treatment at W52; readers were blinded to treatment group and timepoint. Observed mean changes in total PsA-modified van der Heijde-Sharp (vdH-S), joint space narrowing (JSN), and erosion scores were reported. Changes in total vdH-S scores from W0-100 were determined in pts who did and did not achieve clinical response at W100, assessed by ACR20/50/70, low disease activity (LDA) based on Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis score (DAPSA; ≤14) or Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Score (PASDAS; ≤3.2), minimal disease activity (MDA), and normalized Health-Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) score (<0.5).ResultsOf 739 randomized pts, 664 had evaluable data from Reading Session 3; 629 had evaluable data from W52-100. Mean total baseline vdH-S scores were: Q4W, 28.0; Q8W, 23.9; PBO→Q4W, 25.6. Mean progression of joint damage from W0-24 was numerically lower in GUS- than PBO-treated pts for erosion, JSN, and total vdH-S scores (Table 1), consistent with the results from Reading Session 1.1 Mean changes in radiographic scores from W52-100 indicated low rates of radiographic progression across GUS groups. Among GUS-randomized pts, mean changes in vdH-S score from W0-100 were numerically lower for pts achieving clinical response assessed using ACR20/50/70, DAPSA LDA, PASDAS LDA, MDA, and HAQ-DI vs pts not achieving response at W100 (Figure 1).Table 1.Observed erosion, joint space narrowing, and total PsA-modified vdH-S scores through W100 of DISCOVER-2GUS Q4WGUS Q8WPBO→GUS Q4WBaseline PsA-modified vdH-S score, n221228215Erosion14.2 (23.3)12.0 (21.9)12.1 (21.9)Joint space narrowing13.8 (21.8)11.9 (19.5)13.5 (21.6)Total28.0 (43.6)23.9 (40.4)25.6 (42.4)Mean (SD) change in PsA-modified vdH-S scoreW0-24 N=221W24-52 N=221W52-100 N=211W0-24 N=228W24-52 N=228W52-100 N=216W0-24 N=215W24-52 N=213W52-100 N=202Erosion0.27 (1.91)0.36 (1.77)0.45 (2.90)0.51 (1.96)0.20 (1.24)0.26 (1.75)0.73 (2.20)0.25 (1.85)0.09 (1.98)Joint space narrowing0.21 (1.17)0.21 (1.11)0.30 (1.32)0.17 (0.69)0.12 (0.66)0.20 (0.92)0.39 (1.72)0.09 (1.11)0.04 (1.90)Total0.48 (2.70)0.57 (2.66)0.75 (4.02)0.68 (2.36)0.31 (1.57)0.46 (2.42)1.12 (3.80)0.34 (2.79)0.13 (3.74)Data presented as mean (SD).GUS, guselkumab; PBO, placebo; PsA, Psoriatic Arthritis; Q4W, every 4 weeks; Q8W, every 8 weeks; SD, standard deviation; vdH-S, van der Heijde-Sharp; W, weekConclusionIn biologic-naïve pts with active PsA enriched for greater risk of radiographic progression, GUS 100 mg (Q4W or Q8W) was associated with low rates of radiographic progression through 2 years.

Abstract
BackgroundGuselkumab (GUS), an anti-IL23p19-subunit mAb, demonstrated significant efficacy vs placebo (PBO) in achieving ACR20 response at week (W) 24 in patients (pts) with active PsA in phase 3 trials, DISCOVER-1&2 (D1&2).1,2 Pts with PsA report pain relief as a treatment priority.3ObjectivesTo assess GUS treatment effect through 2 years on pt-reported pain across outcome measures.MethodsPts with active PsA in D1 (n=381; 31% received 1-2 prior TNFi) and D2 (n=739; biologic-naïve) were randomized (1:1:1) to GUS 100 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W); GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, then Q8W; or PBO with crossover to GUS 100 mg Q4W at W24 (PBO→Q4W). Pts rated pain using visual analog scale (VAS; 0-10; Pt Pain) and reported Bodily Pain intensity over past 4 W via 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey question 21 (0-5). Pts with spondylitis and peripheral arthritis at baseline (BL) rated Spinal and Joint Pain (0-10). Observed mean change, % improvement from BL in tender (TJC; 0-68) and swollen joint counts (SJC; 0-66), and proportion of pts achieving ≥20/≥50% improvement in Pt Pain (nonresponder imputation [NRI]) were evaluated.ResultsIn D2, mean BL for Bodily Pain (range: 4.4-4.5), Pt Pain (6.2-6.3), Spinal Pain (6.5-6.7), Joint Pain (6.3-6.8), SJC (11.7-12.9) and TJC (19.8-22.4) indicated moderate pain and disease activity at study outset. GUS-treated pts reported ~2x improvement in Pt Pain, Spinal Pain, Joint Pain, and Bodily Pain intensity at W24 vs PBO, which were maintained or increased at W52 and W100. PBO→Q4W pts had similar improvements. Pt-reported pain appeared more sensitive to treatment effect, with larger differences in % improvement vs PBO than physician-reported TJC/SJC at W24. D1 showed consistent results through 1 year. In 748 GUS-treated pts across D1&2, substantial proportions achieved meaningful improvement in Pt Pain at early time points: 32% (W4) and 48% (W8) achieved ≥20% improvement; 28% (W12) and 33% (W16) achieved ≥50% improvement. At W24, 63%/39% reported ≥20%/≥50% improvement in pain.ConclusionGUS provided consistent and durable improvements in pt-reported pain across several outcome measures. Pt-reported pain as an early and sensitive indicator of treatment effect in pts with active PsA and additional factors merits further evaluation.References[1]Deodhar A et al.

Abstract
BackgroundGuselkumab (GUS) demonstrated efficacy and a favorable safety profile in active PsA in the Phase (Ph) 21 and Ph3 DISCOVER-1&2 trials2,3 and in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) in the Ph3 VOYAGE-1&2 trials.4,5ObjectivesTo assess long-term safety of GUS across PsA/PsO trials.MethodsUsing pooled safety data through 2 years (yrs) from PsA trials (N=1229; GUS 100 mg every 4/8 weeks [Q4W/Q8W])1-3 and through 5 yrs from PsO trials (N=1721; GUS 100 mg Q8W),4,5 incidences of serious adverse events (SAEs); gastrointestinal (GI)-related SAEs and other targeted AEs; including candidiasis, uveitis, and opportunistic infections (OIs) were evaluated. Incidence rates (IRs) were calculated as the number of events per 100 pt-yrs (PY) of follow-up with 95% CI. Patients (pts) with an IBD history were not excluded in PsA/PsO trials. Max exposure duration was W100 for PsA trials and W252 for PsO trials.ResultsThe PsA and PsO populations had comparable mean age and BMI. IRs of SAEs and GI-related SAEs were generally similar between GUS- and PBO-treated pts during PBO-controlled periods, and between PsA pts receiving GUS Q4W/Q8W for up to 2 yrs and PsO pts receiving GUS Q8W for up to 5 yrs (Table 1).

Abstract
BackgroundGuselkumab (GUS), a selective IL-23p19 inhibitor, showed greater mean improvements in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) scores vs placebo (PBO) at Week (W) 24 in patients (pts) with active PsA and investigator-confirmed sacroiliitis in pooled post hoc analyses of data from phase 3 DISCOVER (D)-1&2 trials. Improvements in symptoms of axial involvement were maintained through 1 year.1ObjectivesTo assess maintenance of GUS effect on symptoms of axial involvement in biologic-naïve PsA pts with investigator-confirmed sacroiliitis through 2 years of D-2.MethodsIn D-2, 739 bio-naïve pts with active PsA (≥5 swollen + ≥5 tender joints, CRP ≥0.6 mg/dL despite standard therapies) were randomized 1:1:1 to GUS 100 mg every 4W (Q4W; n=245), GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, then Q8W (n=248), or PBO (n=246) with PBO→GUS 100 mg Q4W at W24. Pts with investigator-identified axial symptoms and sacroiliitis (prior X-ray or MRI, or pelvic X-ray at screening) were evaluated. Efficacy was assessed by changes in BASDAI, modified BASDAI (mBASDAI, excluding Q3 [peripheral joint pain]), and BASDAI Q2 (Spinal Pain) scores, and proportions of pts achieving BASDAI 50, Spinal Pain score ≤2, and AS Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) responses through W100. Through W24, pts who met treatment failure criteria or had missing data were considered nonresponders. After W24, missing data were imputed as nonresponse for binary endpoints or no change from baseline for continuous endpoints (nonresponder imputation [NRI]). Axial-related outcomes were also summarized by HLA-B27 status (+/-).Results246 pts had investigator-confirmed sacroiliitis. Baseline characteristics were similar across treatment groups (62% male; mean age 44.4 years; mean BASDAI scores 6.5-6.6). At W24, LS mean/mean changes in BASDAI (-2.4/-2.6) and ASDAS (-1.3/-1.5) scores were greater in GUS- vs PBO-treated pts. Improvements were maintained through W100 in GUS-treated pts: BASDAI, -3.1; Spinal Pain, -3.1; mBASDAI, -3.1; ASDAS, -1.7. Response patterns were similar for BASDAI 50 response rates in GUS-treated pts (W24 38-40%; W100 49-54%). At W24, GUS-treated pts had higher response rates for achievement of ASDAS inactive disease, major improvement, and clinically important improvement vs PBO; response rates (NRI) were maintained, or in some cases further increased, at 2 years. Results were consistent for achievement of ASDAS LDA and Spinal Pain score ≤2 (data not shown). GUS-related improvements in axial symptoms through W100 were generally consistent in HLA-B27+/- pts (data not shown).ConclusionIn bio-naïve pts with active PsA and investigator-confirmed sacroiliitis, GUS provided durable improvements in axial symptoms through W100, with substantial proportions of pts achieving and maintaining clinically meaningful improvements.References[1]Mease PJ et al.

Abstract
BackgroundGuselkumab (GUS), a selective IL-23p19 subunit inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy and a favorable safety profile in active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the Phase (Ph)21, Ph3 (DISCOVER [D]-1&2)2,3, and Ph3b COSMOS4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs).ObjectivesAssess GUS safety through 2 years (Y) in biologic (bio)-naïve and tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi)-experienced (exp) active PsA patients (pts) pooled across 4 RCTs (Week [W] 56: Ph2 and COSMOS; W60: D1; W112: D2).MethodsEligible pts in COSMOS had inadequate response to 1 or 2 prior TNFi; 9% of Ph2 pts and 30% of D1 pts had 1 or 2 prior TNFi; D2 pts were bio-naïve. Incidence rates of adverse events (AEs) are summarized among all treated pts for the placebo (PBO)-controlled (W0-24) and active treatment periods through 2Y (max duration of exposure 100 W) according to actual treatment received, calculated as the number of events per 100 pt-Y of follow-up (PY), along with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Gastrointestinal (GI)-related serious AEs (SAEs) were identified using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) system-organ class; major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; predefined as MI, Stroke, or CV death) and opportunistic infections (OIs) were identified through medical review.ResultsAcross the 4 RCTs, 1508 pts with active PsA received GUS 100 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) or Q8W and were followed for a median of 1.2 Y, representing 2125 PY. In the overall population (N=1554), which includes PBO-treated pts that discontinued study agent prior to W24, 1138 pts were bio-naïve and 416 pts were TNFi-exp. Among all treated pts, the overall GUS safety profile was generally consistent with that of PBO through W24; rates remained low through 2Y of GUS (Table 1). The GUS safety profile was similar to that observed with PBO within the bio-naïve and TNFi-exp cohorts through W24. Incidence rates of AEs were generally consistent between cohorts in GUS-treated pts; whereas, TNFi-exp PBO-treated pts had more SAEs, study agent d/c due to AEs, and serious infections than bio-naïve PBO pts (Figure).Table 1.Overall Treatment-emergent AEsPBO-controlled (W0-24)aThrough up to 2YPBOb(N=517)GUS Q8W (N=664)GUS Q4W (N=373)Combined GUS (N=1037)GUS Q8W (N=664)GUS Q4W (N=373)Combined GUSc(N=1508)Total (median) PY230 (0.5)305 (0.5)172 (0.5)478 (0.5)941 (1.1)645 (2.1)2125 (1.2)Events/100 PY (95% CI)AEs223 (204, 243)233 (216, 250)223 (201, 246)229 (216, 243)164 (156, 172)139 (130, 148)146 (141, 151)SAEs8.7 (5.3, 13)4.9 (2.8, 8.1)5.2 (2.4, 9.9)5.0 (3.2, 7.5)6.4 (4.9, 8.2)4.7 (3.1, 6.6)5.7 (4.7, 6.8)AEs leading to study agent d/c4.4 (2.1, 8.0)3.6 (1.8, 6.5)7.0 (3.6, 12.2)4.8 (3.1, 7.2)2.6 (1.6, 3.8)2.9 (1.8, 4.6)2.7 (2.1, 3.5)Infections59 (50, 70)56 (48, 65)57 (47, 70)57 (50, 64)43 (38, 47)37 (33, 42)39 (36, 42)Serious Infections2.2 (0.71, 5.1)0.33 (0.01, 1.8)1.7 (0.36, 5.1)0.84 (0.23, 2.1)1.7 (0.97, 2.8)0.77 (0.25, 1.8)1.5 (1.0, 2.1)Malignancy0.44 (0.01, 2.4)0.98 (0.20, 2.9)0.00 (0.00, 1.7)0.63 (0.13, 1.8)0.42 (0.12, 1.1)0.00 (0.00, 0.46)0.28 (0.10, 0.61)MACE0.44 (0.01, 2.4)0.33 (0.01, 1.8)0.58 (0.01, 3.2)0.42 (0.05, 1.5)0.21 (0.03, 0.77)0.46 (0.10, 1.4)0.24 (0.08, 0.55)GI-related SAEs1.3 (0.27, 3.8)0.33 (0.01, 1.8)0.00 (0.00, 1.7)0.21 (0.01, 1.2)0.32 (0.07, 0.93)0.46 (0.10, 1.4)0.28 (0.10, 0.61)OIs0.00 (0.00, 1.3)0.00 (0.00, 0.98)0.00 (0.00, 1.7)0.00 (0.00, 0.63)0.21 (0.03, 0.77)0.00 (0.00, 0.46)0.14 (0.03, 0.41)MedDRA Version 23.1.a Includes safety follow-up data through 2Y for pts who d/c study agent prior to W24 and did not receive any study agent at or after W24.b Includes data prior to GUS in PBO pts who switched from PBO to GUS.c Includes PBO to GUS cross-over at W24.ConclusionThe favorable GUS safety profile demonstrated through W24 persisted through 2Y across bio-naïve and TNFi-exp pts.References[1]Deodhar A, et al.

BackgroundGuselkumab (GUS), a selective inhibitor of IL-23, significantly improved the diverse manifestations of active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), including dactylitis and enthesitis, in DISCOVER (D)-1 & 2 trials of patients (pts) with active PsA1,2, with maintenance of response rates through 1 year (yr).3,4 Dactylitis and enthesitis, extra-articular manifestations of PsA, can be difficult to treat and cause significant disease burden.5,6ObjectivesTo evaluate the ability of GUS to provide long-term resolution of dactylitis and enthesitis in pts with PsA through 2 yrs of D-2.MethodsD-2 biologic naïve pts with active PsA were randomized 1:1:1 to GUS 100 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W); GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, Q8W; or placebo (PBO). At W24, PBO pts crossed over to GUS Q4W. Independent assessors evaluated dactylitis (total score: 0-60) and enthesitis (Leeds Enthesitis Index [LEI]; total score 0-6). These post hoc analyses assessed baseline (BL) frequency and severity of enthesitis in pts with dactylitis and dactylitis frequency in pts with enthesitis. Post BL, changes in dactylitis and LEI scores over time (least squares [LS] mean changes; analysis of covariance [ANCOVA]) and rates of resolution of dactylitis and enthesitis (Chi square correlation test) were determined in pts with these manifestations at BL (missing data imputed as no change/response).ResultsAt BL, more D-2 pts had enthesitis (68%) than dactylitis (45%). At BL, 78% of pts with dactylitis vs 61% without (w/o) dactylitis had enthesitis and 51% of pts with enthesitis vs 32% w/o enthesitis had dactylitis. Among pts with enthesitis at BL, a higher percentage of pts with dactylitis (52%) had severe enthesitis (LEI score ≥3) vs pts w/o dactylitis (44%). Among those with the condition at BL, resolution rates of dactylitis (57%, Q4W; 64%, Q8W) and enthesitis (44%, Q4W; 54%, Q8W) at W24 increased through W52 (dactylitis: 74%, Q4W; 78%, Q8W; enthesitis: 57%, Q4W; 61%, Q8W) and were maintained at W100 (dactylitis: 72%, Q4W; 83%, Q8W; enthesitis: 62%, Q4W; 70%, Q8W). Consistent results were observed when evaluating mean changes in dactylitis and LEI scores and in pts who crossed over from PBO to GUS Q4W at W24 (Table 1). In pts with dactylitis and enthesitis at BL, GUS-treated pts showed significant correlations between resolution of enthesitis and dactylitis at W24 (p=0.004), W52 (p<0.001) and W100 (p=0.039), with nearly 90% of pts with enthesitis resolution also achieving dactylitis resolution at W52 and W100 (Figure).Table 1.LS mean change from baseline over time in dactylitis and LEI scores in pts with manifestation at baselineGUS 100 mg Q4WGUS 100 mg Q8WPBO → GUS 100 mg Q4WDactylitis score (0-60)Pts, N12111199W24a-5.9 (-6.7, -5.0)-6.0 (-6.8, -5.1)-4.0 (-5.0, -3.1)W52a-6.5 (-7.2, -5.8)-7.2 (-7.9, -6.5)-6.9 (-7.6, -6.2)W100a-6.5 (-7.1, -5.8)-7.5 (-8.1, -6.8)-6.9 (-7.6, -6.2)LEI score (1-6)Pts, N170158178W24a-1.5 (-1.8, -1.3)-1.6 (-1.8, -1.4)-1.0 (-1.3, -0.8)W52a-1.8 (-2.0, -1.6)-1.9 (-2.1, -1.7)-2.0 (-2.2, -1.8)W100a-1.9 (-2.1, -1.7)-2.1 (-2.3, -1.8)-2.1 (-2.3, -1.9)aResults are LS mean change (95% confidence interval [CI]); LS mean change determined by ANCOVA; missing data was imputed as no change for pts who discontinued treatment and using multiple imputation for remaining missing dataGUS, guselkumab; LEI, Leeds Enthesitis Index; LS, least squares; PBO, placebo; pts, patients; Q4W, every 4 weeks; Q8W, every 8 weeks; W, weekConclusionPts with PsA often present with concurrent enthesitis and dactylitis, both of which can be recalcitrant to treatment. GUS resolved enthesitis and dactylitis in substantial proportions of pts through W100.

Abstract
Tests of lepton universality in B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} and B^{+}→K^{*+}ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} decays where ℓ is either an electron or a muon are presented. The differential branching fractions of B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}e^{+}e^{-} and B^{+}→K^{*+}e^{+}e^{-} decays are measured in intervals of the dilepton invariant mass squared. The measurements are performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1} . The results are consistent with the standard model and previous tests of lepton universality in related decay modes. The first observation of B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}e^{+}e^{-} and B^{+}→K^{*+}e^{+}e^{-} decays is reported.

Observation of the Decay Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ}. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2022; 128:191803. [PMID: 35622037 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.128.191803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The first observation of the semileptonic b-baryon decay Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ}, with a significance of 6.1σ, is reported using a data sample corresponding to 3 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV at the LHC. The τ^{-} lepton is reconstructed in the hadronic decay to three charged pions. The ratio K=B(Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}π^{-}π^{+}π^{-}) is measured to be 2.46±0.27±0.40, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The branching fraction B(Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})=(1.50±0.16±0.25±0.23)% is obtained, where the third uncertainty is from the external branching fraction of the normalization channel Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}π^{-}π^{+}π^{-}. The ratio of semileptonic branching fractions R(Λ_{c}^{+})≡B(Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}) is derived to be 0.242±0.026±0.040±0.059, where the external branching fraction uncertainty from the channel Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ} contributes to the last term. This result is in agreement with the standard model prediction.

Abstract
Background:Guselkumab (GUS), a selective IL-23 inhibitor dosed every 4 or 8 weeks (Q4W or Q8W), demonstrated efficacy for joint and skin symptoms, inhibition of structural damage progression (Q4W), and safety vs. placebo (PBO) through Week 24 (W24) of the Ph3, double-blind, PBO-controlled trial in biologic-naïve pts with PsA (DISCOVER-2).1 Favorable benefit-risk was also seen through 1 year.2Objectives:To assess GUS efficacy and safety through 2 years.Methods:Biologic-naïve adults with active PsA (≥5 swollen joint count [SJC] + ≥5 tender joint count [TJC]; CRP ≥0.6 mg/dL) were randomized (1:1:1) to GUS 100 mg Q4W; GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, Q8W; or PBO with crossover to GUS 100 mg Q4W (PBO→Q4W) at W24. Clinical efficacy (ACR/PASI/IGA/HAQ-DI) was assessed in the modified intention to treat (mITT) population through W100 with missing data imputation (nonresponse for categorical endpoints; no change/multiple imputation for continuous endpoints). Observed PsA-modified van der Heijde Sharp (vdH-S) scores derived from blinded radiographic images collected at W0, W24, W52, W100 (or at discontinuation [d/c]) and adverse events (AEs) through W112 were collected.Results:712/739 (96%) randomized pts continued study agent at W24; 687/739 (93%) continued at W52; 652/739 (88%) completed W100. ACR20 response rates in the mITT population continued to increase after W24, and at W100 were 76% for Q4W and 74% for Q8W (Figure 1). Similar response patterns were seen for ACR50/70, HAQ-DI and PASI90/100 (Table 1), and IGA0/1 and PASI75 response rates were consistent through W100 in pts randomized to Q4W and Q8W; W100 data for PBO→Q4W pts were consistent with pts treated with Q4W and Q8W (Table 1). GUS improvements in SF-36 PCS/MCS at W52 also persisted through W100 (data not shown). Low rates of radiographic progression (as measured by PsA-modified vdH-S scores) were observed during W52-100 for Q4W (n=227; 0.75) and Q8W (n=232; 0.46). In the PBO→Q4W group (n=228), radiographic progression was 1.12 during W0-24 (while on PBO), 0.51 during W24-100 (while on Q4W), and 0.13 during W52-100. Through W112, the incidences of AEs, serious AEs (SAEs), AEs leading to d/c, infections, serious infections, and injection site reactions were generally consistent with the PBO-controlled period and through 1 year. Of the pts in the Q4W (n=245), Q8W (n=248), and PBO→Q4W (n=238) groups, 9%, 9% and 7% had ≥1 SAE; 2%, 3% and 3% had ≥1 serious infection; 2 Q8W pts (fungal esophagitis, disseminated herpes zoster) and 1 PBO→Q4W pt (listeria meningitis) had opportunistic infections; 1 PBO→Q4W pt died (road traffic accident); 1 PBO-randomized pt had IBD; no pt had anaphylactic or serum sickness reaction, or active TB.Conclusion:In biologic-naïve PsA pts, GUS improvements in joint and skin symptoms, physical function, and low rates of radiographic progression persisted through 2 years. GUS safety in PsA through 2 years was comparable with safety at 6 months and 1 year, similar between Q4W and Q8W, and consistent with GUS safety in psoriasis.References:[1]Mease PJ.

Abstract
Background:DISCOVER 1&2 (PsA) and VOYAGE 1&2 (PsO) are Phase 3 trials of guselkumab (GUS).Objectives:Compare safety results through up to 1yr of GUS in PsA and PsO pts.Methods:In DISCOVER, 1120 pts with active PsA despite standard therapy were treated. Most pts were biologic-naïve; ~30% in DISCOVER 1 had previous exposure to 1-2 TNFi. Concomitant MTX (57%), oral corticosteroids (17%), and NSAIDs (64%) were permitted. Pts were randomized to SC GUS 100mg at W0, W4, then Q8W; GUS 100mg Q4W; or PBO. At W24, PBO patients were switched to GUS 100mg Q4W. In VOYAGE, in which concomitant MTX use was prohibited, 1245 pts with moderate to severe PsO were treated and randomized to SC GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, W12, then Q8W; or PBO at W0, W4, W12, with crossover to GUS at W16, W20, then Q8W. AEs and laboratory parameters, analyzed by National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for AEs [NCI-CTCAE] toxicity grades, were summarized through the PBO-controlled periods and 1yr.Results:Safety profiles were generally consistent across the GUS PsO and PsA clinical programs (Table 1). Time-adjusted incidence rates for numbers of AEs, serious AEs, serious infections, malignancy, MACE and AEs leading to d/c were generally similar between PsO and PsA. No cases of anaphylaxis or opportunistic infections were reported. Proportions of pts with decreased neutrophil counts and elevations in hepatic transaminases were slightly higher in PsA vs PsO. These abnormalities were mostly of NCI-CTCAE Grade 1 or 2 (<LLN-1000/mm3 for neutrophils; <5.0 x ULN for AST/ ALT), generally transient, required no medical interventions, resolved spontaneously, and did not lead to interruption or d/c of treatment. Through 1yr, proportions of pts with ALT/AST elevations in PsA trials were slightly higher for GUS Q4W than Q8W and in pts with vs without baseline MTX use.Conclusion:The GUS safety profile was generally consistent in PsA and PsO GUS-treated pts through 1yr of the DISCOVER and VOYAGE trials.Table 1.Treatment-Emergent AEs During PBO-controlled Period and Through 1Yr: VOYAGE & DISCOVER TrialsPooled VOYAGE 1&2Pooled DISCOVER 1&2Time PeriodW0-16Through 1YrW0-24bThrough 1Yr(N=)PBO(422)GUS Q8W(823)Combined GUSa(1221)PBOc(372)GUS Q8W(375)GUS Q4W (373)GUS Q8W(375)GUS Q4W (373)Combined GUS† (1100)Total pt-yrs of follow-up128255974173173172384385973Incidence/100 pt-yrs (95% CI)dAEs317 (287,349)330 (308,353)259 (249, 270)219 (198,243)256 (232,281)221 (200, 245)218 (203,233)177 (164,191)191 (182, 199)SAEs5 (2, 10)6 (4, 10)6 (5, 8)9 (5, 15)4 (2, 8)5 (2, 10)6 (4, 9)4 (2, 7)6 (4, 7)AEs leading to study agent d/c3 (0.9, 8)4 (2, 8)2 (2, 4)4 (2, 8)3 (1, 7)7 (4, 12)2 (1, 4)4 (2, 6)3 (2, 5)Infections86 (71, 104)98 (86, 111)98 (92, 104)58 (48, 71)58 (47, 71)63 (51, 76)58 (50, 66)53 (46, 61)55 (50, 60)Serious Infections0. 8 (0, 4)0.4 (0, 2)1 (0.5, 2)4 (2, 8)0.6 (0, 3)2 (0.4, 5)2 (0.6, 3)1 (0, 2)2 (0.9, 3)All Malignancy0 (0, 2)0.4 (0, 2)1 (0.4, 2)0.6 (0, 3)1 (0, 4)0 (0, 2)0.5 (0, 2)0 (0, 0. 8)0 (0, 1)MACE0 (0, 2)0.4 (0, 2)0.4 (0, 1)0.6 (0, 3)0 (0, 2)0.6 (0, 3)0 (0, 0.8)0.3 (0, 1.4)0.1 (0, 0.6)% pts with ≥1 injection site rxn3.14.55.00.31.31.11.62.41.7aPlacebo crossover pts were included in the combined GUS column after crossover to GUSbFor all pts who d/c study treatment early with the last dose of PBO/GUS prior to W24 and who did not receive any PBO/GUS at or after Wk24, all data including the final safety follow-up visit collected through 1yr were includedcFor pts in PBO group who switched to GUS due to cross-over or inadvertently, only data prior to first administration of GUS were included.dCI based on an exact method assuming observed number of events follows a Poisson distributionDisclosure of Interests:Alice B Gottlieb Consultant of: Anaptyps Bio, Avotres Therapeutics, Beiersdorf, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers-Squibb, Eli Lilly, Janssen, LEO Pharma, Novartis, Sun Pharmaceuticals, UCB, and Xbiotech, Grant/research support from: Boehringer Ingelheim, Janssen, Novartis, Sun Pharmaceuticals, UCB, and Xbiotech, Joseph F.

Background:Guselkumab (GUS), an anti-interleukin-23p19-subunit monoclonal antibody, demonstrated efficacy vs placebo (PBO) in achieving American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement (ACR20) response in patients (pts) with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in two phase 3 trials, DISCOVER-1 & 2.1,2Objectives:To assess the differential treatment effects of GUS across individual components of ACR response in PsA pts participating in the DISCOVER-1 & 2 trials.Methods:In DISCOVER-1 & 2, 1120 pts were randomized & treated with GUS 100 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W; N=373); GUS 100 mg at Week (W)0 and W4, then Q8W (N=375); or matching PBO (N=372). Pts were evaluated by independent joint assessors at study visits. ACR20 response is defined as ≥20% improvement from baseline in both tender joint count (0-68 [TJC68]) and swollen joint count (0-66 [SJC66]) and ≥20% improvement from baseline in ≥3 of 5 assessments: Patient Assessment of Pain [Pt Pain], Patient Assessment of Global Disease Activity (arthritis) [PtGA], Physician Assessment of Global Disease Activity [PGA], Patient assessment of physical function as measured by Disability Index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ-DI), and C-reactive protein (CRP). For each ACR component, achievement of ≥20% improvement from baseline was assessed over time through W24 for the combined (Q4W+Q8W) GUS groups, and median time to onset of treatment effect was determined with Kaplan-Meier curves by randomized group.Results:Median time to response for all components except SJC66 occurred earlier with GUS than PBO. Time to onset of ACR20 treatment effect is shown in Figure 1. CRP data show 56% of GUS-treated pts had diminution of systemic inflammation by W4 (Table 1). Reduction in systemic inflammation was accompanied or rapidly followed by GUS-related improvement in both PtGA and PGA (median W4-8). Although SJC66/TJC68 data showed similar patterns, there was also a high PBO response (data not shown). Consistent with early reductions in systemic inflammation, 48-61% of GUS-treated pts had ≥20% improvement in TJC68/SJC66/PGA at W4 (Table 1), and 45-48% had ≥20% improvement in HAQ-DI, PtGA, and Pt Pain by W8. By W24, >80% of GUS-treated pts had ≥20% improvement in SJC66/TJC68/PGA, followed by 63-64% with this degree of improvement in PtGA, CRP, and Pt Pain, and 57% for HAQ-DI.Conclusion:GUS demonstrated ACR20 improvements with separation from PBO in ACR components as early as W4, which is consistent with reduced inflammation by GUS and prior serological studies.3 At early study time points, both pts and physicians were able to discern improvements in signs and symptoms of arthritis that rapidly followed reductions in systemic inflammation (CRP). The predominant drivers of ACR20 response rates at W24 in GUS pts were SJC66/TJC68/PGA.References:[1]Deodhar A et al. Lancet. 2020;395:1115-25[2]Mease P et al.

Abstract
Background:In the Phase 3 DISCOVER-11 & DISCOVER-22 trials, guselkumab (GUS), a human monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-23p19-subunit, was effective in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) across joint & skin endpoints. At Week 24 (W24), GUS benefit was consistent regardless of baseline (BL) demographic & disease characteristics.3Objectives:We assessed whether GUS efficacy was sustained through W52 in pooled DISCOVER-1 & -2 patients (pts) across select BL subgroups.Methods:Adults with active PsA despite standard therapies were enrolled in DISCOVER-1 (swollen [SJC] ≥3 & tender joint count [TJC] ≥3, C-reactive protein [CRP] ≥0.3 mg/dL) & DISCOVER-2 (SJC ≥5 & TJC ≥5, CRP ≥0.6 mg/dL). 31% of DISCOVER-1 pts had received 1-2 prior tumor necrosis factor inhibitors; DISCOVER-2 pts were biologic naïve. Pts were randomized 1:1:1 to GUS 100 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W); GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, then Q8W; or placebo (PBO). Pts randomized to PBO received GUS 100 mg Q4W starting at W24 & were excluded from these analyses assessing maintenance of effect from W24 to W52. GUS effects on joint (American College of Rheumatology [ACR]20/50/70) & skin (Investigator’s Global Assessment [IGA=0/1 + ≥2-grade reduction from W0] in pts with ≥3% body surface area [BSA] with psoriasis & IGA ≥2 at W0) endpoints were evaluated by pt BL SJC, TJC, conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (csDMARD) use, body mass index (BMI), PsA duration, & % BSA with psoriasis. Missing data were imputed as nonresponse through W52.Results:BL pt characteristics in DISCOVER-1 (N=381) & DISCOVER-2 (N=739) were well balanced across randomized groups.1,2 Among 1120 pooled pts, mean SJC was 11, mean TJC was 21, & 68% used csDMARDs (primarily methotrexate [MTX]). At W24, 62% (232/373) & 60% (225/375), respectively, of GUS Q4W- & Q8W-treated pts achieved ACR20 vs 29% (109/372) of PBO, with GUS effect consistently observed across pt BL subgroups (Figure 1). ACR20 response rates were sustained or increased at W52 in the GUS Q4W (72%) & Q8W (70%) groups & across SJC (61-79%), TJC (68-76%), & csDMARD use (68-80%) subgroups (Table 1) & pt subgroups defined by BL BMI, PsA duration, & % BSA with psoriasis (data not shown). ACR50 & 70 response patterns were similar to ACR20 (Table 1). In pts with ≥3% BSA psoriasis & IGA ≥2 at BL, 71% (193/273) & 66% (171/258) of GUS Q4W- & Q8W-treated pts, respectively, vs 18% (47/261) of PBO, achieved IGA 0/1 at W24, with GUS effect consistently observed across pt BL subgroups (Figure 1). IGA 0/1 response rates were also sustained or increased at W52 in the GUS Q4W (80%) & Q8W (71%) groups & across % BSA with psoriasis (67-87%) & csDMARD use (68-87%) subgroups (Table 1) & pt subgroups defined by BL BMI and PsA duration (data not shown).Conclusion:Treatment with GUS 100 mg Q4W & Q8W resulted in sustained improvement in signs & symptoms of active PsA through W52 regardless of pt BL characteristics.References:[1]Deodhar A, et al.

Abstract
Background:Guselkumab (GUS), a human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the p19-subunit of interleukin (IL)-23, demonstrated efficacy in the Phase 3 VOYAGE 1&2 trials of patients (pts) with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PsO)1,2 and in the DISCOVER 1&2 trials of pts with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).3,4 IL-17 inhibitors used to treat PsO and PsA have been associated with exacerbation or new onset of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (e.g., Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis).5Objectives:Evaluate the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI)-related and overall serious adverse events (SAEs) from pooled safety data through 1-year of GUS 100 mg treatment from the VOYAGE 1&2 and DISCOVER 1&2 trials.Methods:Using pooled safety data from the VOYAGE 1&2 PsO trials and DISCOVER 1&2 PsA trials, SAEs related to GI disorders were identified using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) system-organ class “GI disorders”. Pts with a previous history of IBD were not excluded in these trials; medical history of IBD was collected at baseline in DISCOVER 1&2. Rates of overall SAEs and GI-related SAEs were calculated as the number of SAEs per 100 pt-years (PY) of follow-up (95% confidence intervals). Data are presented for the placebo (PBO)-controlled period (Weeks 0-16 for VOYAGE 1&2; Weeks 0-24 for DISCOVER 1&2) and through 1-year (defined as through Week 48 for VOYAGE 1&2; through Week 60 for DISCOVER 1, and through Week 52 for DISCOVER 2). Events of uveitis and opportunistic infections were also analyzed.Results:Through the PBO-controlled period, the overall rates of GI-related SAEs per 100 PY for pooled VOYAGE 1&2 were: PBO 0.78 (0.02, 4.34), GUS q8w 0; and for pooled DISCOVER 1&2: PBO 0.58 (0.01, 3.23), GUS q8w 0.58 (0.01, 3.21), GUS q4w 0. The GI-related SAEs included: gastrointestinal hemorrhage (PBO; n=1) for pooled VOYAGE 1&2; and inflammatory bowel disease (PBO; n=1) and mechanical ileus (GUS q8w; n=1) for pooled DISCOVER 1&2. Through 1-year, the overall rates of GI-related SAEs for pooled VOYAGE 1&2 were: Combined GUS group (GUS q8w and PBO→GUS groups) 0.51 (0.17, 1.20); and for pooled DISCOVER 1&2: GUS q8w 0.52 (0.06, 1.88), GUS q4w 0, Combined GUS group (GUS q8w, GUS q4w, and PBO→GUS groups) 0.21 (0.02, 0.74). The GI-related SAEs in the Combined GUS group for pooled VOYAGE 1&2 included: gastritis, hemorrhoids, inguinal hernia, pancreatitis, and umbilical hernia (0.10/100PY [0.00, 0.57]; n=1 for each); and in the Combined GUS group for pooled DISCOVER 1&2: mechanical ileus and pancreatitis chronic (0.10/100PY [0.00, 0.57]; n=1 for each). Overall, no cases of exacerbation or new onset of IBD were reported in GUS-treated pts, including 2 pts with a prior history of IBD in DISCOVER 1&2 (total PY of follow-up for the Combined GUS groups in VOYAGE and DISCOVER were 974 and 973, respectively). Through the PBO-controlled period, rates of overall SAEs for GUS-treated pts were comparable to PBO-pts and SAE rates remained low through 1-year of follow-up in the VOYAGE 1&2 and DISCOVER 1&2 trials. There were no reported cases of uveitis, opportunistic infections, or tuberculosis in GUS-treated pts through 1-year.Conclusion:Through 1-year of follow-up with GUS treatment in pooled VOYAGE 1&2 and DISCOVER 1&2, GI-related SAE rates were low. There were no reported cases of uveitis, opportunistic infections, or new onset/exacerbation of IBD in GUS-treated pts. No new safety concerns were identified through 1-year.References:[1]Blauvelt A., et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2017;76:405-17.[2]Reich K., et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2017;76:418-31.[3]Deodhar A., et al.

Abstract
Background:DISCOVER 1 & 2, two double-blind, phase-3, psoriatic arthritis (PsA) trials of guselkumab (GUS, an IL-23 inhibitor), demonstrated significant improvement with GUS vs placebo (PBO) in signs and symptoms of PsA, with good tolerability, at week (w) 24 during the PBO-controlled period.1,2 Beyond w24, all patients (pts) switched to GUS. Continued treatment maintained efficacy through w52.3,4Objectives:To describe pooled safety results from the DISCOVER 1 & 2 trials through 1-year of GUS treatment.Methods:Adults with active PsA (DISCOVER 1: ≥3 tender/swollen joints and C-Reactive protein [CRP] ≥0.3 mg/dL; DISCOVER 2: ≥5 tender/swollen joints and CRP ≥0.6 mg/dL) were randomized to subcutaneous GUS 100 mg at w0, w4, then every 8 w (q8w); GUS 100 mg q4w; or PBO. At w24, PBO pts switched to GUS 100 mg q4w. Pts were biologic naive except ~30% pts in DISCOVER 1. Safety was reported through w60 in DISCOVER 1 and through w52 in DISCOVER 2.Results:Baseline characteristics were similar between treatment groups in the pooled studies. Through w24 and 1 year, numbers of pts per 100 patient years with ≥1 event were similar among treatment groups for adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, infections, serious infections, and discontinuations due to AE (Table 1). At 1 year, there were no cases of active tuberculosis, opportunistic infections (including candida), or inflammatory bowel disease in GUS-treated pts; 2 deaths in PBO pts; and low incidences that were similar across treatment groups for malignancy, major adverse cardiac events, and injection-site reactions. Incidence of anti-GUS antibodies was 4.5%, and most were not neutralizing. Mild elevations in serum hepatic transaminases and decreases in neutrophil counts were consistent at 1 year with the results at w24 (Table 1).Conclusion:GUS regimens of q8w and q4w were well tolerated in PsA pts through 1 year of treatment in the phase-3 DISCOVER trials, consistent with the w24 results. No meaningful differences between incidences of AEs were reported in the q8w and q4w groups.

Abstract
Background:In the DISCOVER-1 study, the interleukin-23 p19 subunit inhibitor guselkumab (GUS) demonstrated robust efficacy across joint and skin clinical manifestations of psoriatic arthritis (PsA).1 Patients (pts) with PsA also experience a broad range of symptoms that negatively impact health-related quality of life (eg, pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, poor physical function).2Objectives:Assess the treatment effect of GUS on general health outcomes in pts with PsA in the DISCOVER-1 trial through Week (W) 52 using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 (PROMIS-29) instrument.Methods:Pts with active PsA (≥3 swollen + ≥3 tender joints; C-reactive protein ≥0.3 mg/dL) and inadequate response to standard conventional therapies were randomized 1:1:1 to GUS 100 mg Q4W; GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, then Q8W; or placebo (PBO). PBO pts switched to GUS 100 mg Q4W at W24. PROMIS-29 contains 4 items for each of 7 domains (anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain interference, physical function, sleep disturbance, social participation) and 1 pain intensity item; 28 items are scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale, and pain intensity is rated from 0-10. The raw score of each domain is converted to a standardized T-score, with norms based on a general population mean score=50 and a standard deviation (SD)=10. Higher scores in anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain interference, and sleep disturbance indicate more severe symptoms; higher physical function and social participation scores indicate better health outcomes. Changes ≥5 points (1/2 SD of T-score) are considered clinically meaningful. Analyses were performed using both observed (mean scores/changes, effect sizes) and imputed (clinically meaningful response, whereby change from baseline was set to 0 at W24/52 for pts who had missing data or at W24 for pts who met treatment failure criteria prior to W24).Results:At baseline, mean PROMIS-29 T-scores for physical function, social participation, sleep disturbance, pain, and fatigue were worse in the 381 PsA pts enrolled in DISCOVER-1 than in the general US population. Across all 7 domains, observed mean PROMIS-29 T-scores showed improvements in GUS-treated pts from baseline to W24 and W52 (Figure 1). Observed mean changes from baseline to W24 and W52, with calculated effect size, are shown (Table 1). In all pts, including those with imputed data, significantly higher percentages of pts in both GUS treatment groups vs PBO had ≥5-point improvements in fatigue, pain interference, physical function, sleep disturbance, social participation, and pain intensity domains at W24 (all nominal p<0.05). Mean improvements in PROMIS-29 domains were maintained through W52.Conclusion:In pts with active PsA, PROMIS-29 results indicate that GUS treatment was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in fatigue and pain and improvement in physical function and social participation, which were maintained through 1 year.References:[1] Deodhar A et al.

A Drosophila model of Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia reveals a critical role for the RNA exosome in neurons. PLoS Genet 2020; 16:e1008901. [PMID: 32645003 PMCID: PMC7373318 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1008901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2019] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The RNA exosome is an evolutionarily-conserved ribonuclease complex critically important for precise processing and/or complete degradation of a variety of cellular RNAs. The recent discovery that mutations in genes encoding structural RNA exosome subunits cause tissue-specific diseases makes defining the role of this complex within specific tissues critically important. Mutations in the RNA exosome component 3 (EXOSC3) gene cause Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1b (PCH1b), an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder. The majority of disease-linked mutations are missense mutations that alter evolutionarily-conserved regions of EXOSC3. The tissue-specific defects caused by these amino acid changes in EXOSC3 are challenging to understand based on current models of RNA exosome function with only limited analysis of the complex in any multicellular model in vivo. The goal of this study is to provide insight into how mutations in EXOSC3 impact the function of the RNA exosome. To assess the tissue-specific roles and requirements for the Drosophila ortholog of EXOSC3 termed Rrp40, we utilized tissue-specific RNAi drivers. Depletion of Rrp40 in different tissues reveals a general requirement for Rrp40 in the development of many tissues including the brain, but also highlight an age-dependent requirement for Rrp40 in neurons. To assess the functional consequences of the specific amino acid substitutions in EXOSC3 that cause PCH1b, we used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to generate flies that model this RNA exosome-linked disease. These flies show reduced viability; however, the surviving animals exhibit a spectrum of behavioral and morphological phenotypes. RNA-seq analysis of these Drosophila Rrp40 mutants reveals increases in the steady-state levels of specific mRNAs and ncRNAs, some of which are central to neuronal function. In particular, Arc1 mRNA, which encodes a key regulator of synaptic plasticity, is increased in the Drosophila Rrp40 mutants. Taken together, this study defines a requirement for the RNA exosome in specific tissues/cell types and provides insight into how defects in RNA exosome function caused by specific amino acid substitutions that occur in PCH1b can contribute to neuronal dysfunction.

Abstract
Background:Guselkumab (GUS), an interleukin-23 inhibitor, was efficacious in reducing signs and symptoms of active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients (pts) in two phase 3 trials (DISCOVER-1 and DISCOVER-2).Objectives:To evaluate the efficacy of GUS in PsA pts with imaging-confirmed axial involvement consistent with sacroiliitis in DISCOVER-1&2.Methods:In DISCOVER-1, 381 pts with active PsA (≥ 3 swollen joints, ≥ 3 tender joints; C-reactive protein ≥ 0.3mg/dL despite standard therapies) and in DISCOVER-2, 739 pts with active PsA (≥ 5 swollen joints, ≥ 5 tender joints, CRP ≥ 0.6mg/dL despite standard therapies) were randomized 1:1:1 to GUS 100mg Q4W, GUS 100mg Q8W (Wk0, Wk4, then Q8W), or PBO. This analysis included pts with sacroiliitis at baseline who had either documented imaging confirmation of sacroiliitis in the past or pelvic X-ray confirmation of sacroiliitis at screening (pooled data from DISCOVER-1&2) based on investigators’ judgment of presence/absence of sacroiliitis. Efficacy was assessed by BASDAI score, BASDAI50, modified BASDAI (mBASDAI; excludes Q#3), spinal pain (BASDAI Q#2), ASDAS-CRP score, and ASDAS responses of inactive disease (<1.3), major improvement (decrease ≥2.0), and clinically important improvement (decrease ≥1.1). Pts with missing data at wk24 were classified as nonresponders.Results:312 pts presented with axial involvement (PBO, n= 118; GUS q8w, n = 91; GUS q4w, n = 103). The LS mean changes from baseline to wk24 in BASDAI, spinal pain, mBASDAI, and ASDAS-CRP were greater in the two GUS groups vs PBO (Table). Greater proportions of GUS-treated pts achieved BASDAI50 (Table) and ASDAS responses of inactive disease, major improvement, and clinically important improvement (Figure) at wk24 vs PBO.Conclusion:GUS improved axial symptoms over 24 weeks in active PsA patients with imaging-confirmed sacroiliitis.Table.Efficacy of GUS in PsA patients with axial involvement at week 24.aPBO(n=118)GUS 100 mg every 8 weeks(n=91)GUS100 mg every 4 weeks(n=103)LS Mean change in BASDAI-1.35-2.67*-2.68*LS Mean change in spinal painb-1.30-2.73*-2.48*BASDAI50c, %21/110 (19.1%)34/84 (40.5%)**36/95 (37.9%)**LS Mean change in modified BASDAId-1.13-2.16*-2.18*LS Mean change in ASDAS-CRP-0.71-1.43*-1.46*aPts with axial involvement consistent with sacroiliitis at baseline and either a history of imaging confirmation or pelvic X-ray at screening (pooled data from DISCOVER-1 & 2)bQuestion 2 of the BASDAI.cPts with BASDAI > 0 at baseline.dExcludes question 3 of the BASDAI.Unadjusted p-values as noted: *p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01Acknowledgments:NoneDisclosure of Interests:Philip Helliwell: None declared, Dafna D Gladman Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Amgen Inc., BMS, Celgene Corporation, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB – grant/research support, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen Inc., BMS, Celgene Corporation, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB – consultant, Denis Poddubnyy Grant/research support from: AbbVie, MSD, Novartis, and Pfizer, Consultant of: AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, UCB, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, UCB, Philip J Mease Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Janssen, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Sun Pharma, UCB Pharma, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene, Janssen, Eli Lilly, Galapagos, Gilead, Novartis, Pfizer, Sun Pharma, UCB Pharma, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene, Genentech, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB Pharma, Xenofon Baraliakos Grant/research support from: Grant/research support from: AbbVie, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB and Werfen, Consultant of: AbbVie, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB and Werfen, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB and Werfen, Alexa Kollmeier Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Elizabeth C Hsia Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Xie L Xu Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Shihong Sheng Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Prasheen Agarwal Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Bei Zhou Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Soumya D Chakravarty Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, May Shawi Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Chetan Karyekar Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Consultant of: Janssen, Employee of: Janssen Global Services, LLC.

Abstract
Background:Guselkumab (GUS), a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the p19-subunit of IL-23, is approved to treat PsO. At Week24 (W24) of the Phase 3, double-blind, PBO-controlled trial in pts with active PsA who were biologic-naïve or prior TNFα inhibitor (TNFi)-treated (DISCOVER-1), GUS 100 mg, given every 4/8 weeks (Q4W/Q8W), demonstrated efficacy for joint & skin symptoms, physical function & quality of life vs PBO; AEs were consistent with GUS safety in PsO.Objectives:Assess GUS efficacy & safety in PsA through 1 year.Methods:Adults with active PsA (≥3 swollen+≥3 tender joints; CRP ≥0.3mg/dL) despite standard therapies were eligible. Approx. 30% of pts could have previously received ≤2 TNFi. Pts were randomized 1:1:1, stratified by W0 DMARD [Y/N] & prior TNFi (Y/N) use, to GUS 100mg Q4W; GUS 100 mg at W0, W4 & Q8W; or PBO. At W24, PBO pts crossed over to GUS 100 mg Q4W (PBO X Q4W). W48 marked the last dose of study agent. ACR response rates at W52, based on nonresponder imputation (NRI) for missing data and as observed in pts still on study agent at W24, are shown. Observed data for additional endpoints are shown. AEs through W60 are reported.Results:362/381 (95%) randomized pts continued study agent at W24 (125 Q4W, 123 Q8W, 114 PBO X Q4W), 347/381 (91%) pts completed treatment & 343/381 (90%) completed study. NRI ACR20 response rates were maintained at W52 (Q4W 73%, Q8W 60%; Fig 1A). Similar responses patterns were seen for the more stringent ACR50/70 criteria (Fig 1C,E). Observed ACR responses, overall (Fig, 1B,D,F) and in pts with (Fig 2A,C,E) & without (Fig 2B,D,F) prior TNFi use, were also maintained at W52. Improvements in other clinical outcomes were also maintained at W52, and responses for pts crossing over from PBO X Q4W at W24 were generally consistent with other GUS-treated pts by W52 (Table 1). Through W24, 4 (2%) GUS- and 5 (4%) PBO-treated pts had serious AEs; no GUS-treated and 2 (2%) PBO-treated pts had a serious infection. Through W60, serious AEs and serious infections occurred in 4% & 1%, respectively, of all 369 GUS-treated pts; no GUS-treated pt died or had IBD, opportunistic infections or active TB, or anaphylactic or serum sickness-like reactions.Table 1.Observed Efficacy1GUSQ4WGUSQ8WPBO(W0-24) XQ4W(W24-52)Data are % unless otherwise statedW24W52W24W52W24W52Dactylitis at W0,n373749444743Resolution64.978.467.379.561.781.4Enthesitis at W0,n717071647163Resolution49.362.940.856.331.069.8≥3% BSA psoriasis, IGA ≥2 at W0,n888881756866IGA 0/1 + ≥2-grade decrease76.183.058.069.317.681.52PASI7587.594.376.580.020.684.8PASI9063.676.150.666.713.272.7PASI10045.564.825.948.07.462.1HAQ-DI,n125124123114114104Mean change-0.4-0.5-0.3-0.4-0.1-0.4SF-36 scores,n (mean change)124124123114114104Physical Component - PCS6.68.56.57.32.76.9Mental Component - MCS3.84.93.05.11.84.2MDA, n125124123112114103MDA response31.240.323.633.912.331.1VLDA,n125124123114113104VLDA response9.616.94.112.31.814.41Randomized pts still on study agent at W24;2n=65Conclusion:GUS Q4W & Q8W maintained improvements in joint symptoms through 1 year in pts with active PsA who were biologic-naïve or previously TNFi-treated.

Abstract
Background:DISCOVER 1 & 2 are phase 3 psoriatic arthritis (PsA) trials investigating guselkumab (GUS), an IL-23 inhibitor that specifically binds the IL-23p19 subunit. In both studies, GUS showed significant improvement vs placebo (PBO) through week (W) 24 in the PBO-controlled period.1,2Objectives:To present integrated safety results of DISC 1 & 2 through the PBO-controlled periods.Methods:Adult patients (pts) with active PsA despite standard therapy were enrolled. All pts were biologic-naïve, except ~30% in DISC 1 with previous exposure to 1-2 TNF inhibitors. Pts were randomized to SC GUS 100 mg Q4W; GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, then Q8W; or PBO. Adverse events (AEs) and lab results were analyzed from pooled data.Results:The rates of pts experiencing ≥1 AE, serious AE, infection, serious infection, and discontinuation due to an AE were similar between GUS and PBO (Table 1). There were 2 deaths, 3 malignancies, 2 Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE), and no opportunistic infections (treatment group not shown to prevent unblinding). Among the AEs reported by ≥5% pts in any group (Table 1), nasopharyngitis and elevated serum hepatic aminotransferases were more common with GUS vs PBO. Laboratory ALT and AST elevations were mostly mild, transient, and not associated with significant bilirubin elevation. There was a trend to decreased neutrophil count (mostly Grade 1, transient, and not associated with infection) with GUS vs PBO (Table 2). Low rates of injection-site reactions were seen with GUS vs PBO. Anti-drug antibody development was also low (Table 1).Table 1.Patient Reported AEs, n (%)GUS100 mgQ8WGUS100 mgQ4WPBON375373372≥1 AE182 (48.5)182 (48.8)176 (47.3)≥1 Serious AE7 (1.9)8 (2.1)12 (3.2)Discontinuation due to AE5 (1.3)8 (2.1)7 (1.9)≥1 Infection73 (19.5)80 (21.4)77 (20.7)≥1 Serious infection1 (0.3)3 (0.8)3 (0.8)≥1 Opportunistic Infection (including Candida)000Active Tuberculosis000≥1 Injection-site reaction5 (1.3)4 (1.1)1 (0.3)Anti-GUS antibody +, n/N (%)6/373 (1.6)9/371 (2.4)--AEs* reported by ≥5% of patients in any treatment groupNasopharyngitis26 (6.9)19 (5.1)17 (4.6)Upper respiratory tract infection13 (3.5)23 (6.2)17 (4.6)Increased ALT23 (6.1)28 (7.5)14 (3.8)Increased AST23 (6.1)14 (3.8)9 (2.4)*Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) preferred termTable 2.Lab Results*GUS100 mgQ8WGUS100 mgQ4WPBON373371370ALT Increased (%)Grade 128.235.030.121.12.71.43-40.81.10.8Neutrophil Count Decreased (%)Grade 15.65.93.221.61.60.83-400.30.3*NCI toxicity gradeALT=Alanine aminotransferaseConclusion:GUS was safe and well tolerated through the PBO-controlled period in 2 randomized, phase 3 trials of patients with active PsA. There were no meaningful safety differences between the Q8W and Q4W groups, no significant safety issues identified when comparing GUS to PBO, and no safety signals with regards to infections, malignancy, and MACE. The safety profile of GUS Q4W and Q8W in PsA pts was generally consistent with that in the Phase 3 trials of GUS Q8W for psoriasis.3,4References:[1]Deodhar et al. ACR 2019 (#807).

Abstract
Background:Patients (pts) with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) experience broad systemic symptoms including pain, fatigue, depression, sleep disturbance, poor physical function, and diminished social participation.Objectives:DISCOVER 1 is a Phase 3 trial (NCT03162796) evaluating the efficacy and safety of guselkumab (GUS), an anti-interleukin 23 inhibitor that binds to the p19-subunit of IL-23, in pts with active PsA. PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29), a validated generic health instrument,1assessed the treatment effect of GUS on symptoms in pts with PsA.Methods:Pts with active PsA despite nonbiologic DMARDs were enrolled, and ~30% of pts could have previously received ≤2 TNFi. Pts were randomized (1:1:1) to subcutaneous GUS 100 mg at Week 0 (W0), W4 then q8W (n=127), GUS 100 mg q4W (n=128), or PBO (n=126). Concomitant stable use of select csDMARDs, oral steroids, and NSAIDs was allowed. PROMIS-29 consists of 7 domains (Depression, Anxiety, Physical Function, Pain Interference, Fatigue, Sleep Disturbance, and Social Participation) and a pain intensity 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS). The raw score of each domain is converted into a standardized T-score with a mean of 50 (general population mean) and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Higher PROMIS scores represent more of the concept being measured. A >= 5-point improvement (1/2 SD of T-score) is defined as clinically meaningful.1Results:At baseline, mean PROMIS-29 T-scores for physical function, social participation, sleep disturbance, pain, and fatigue were worse than the general US population. At W24, GUS q8W-treated pts achieved greater improvements from baseline in all PROMIS-29 domains vs PBO (p<0.05) (Table and Fig 1). Results were consistent in the GUS q4W group except for anxiety and sleep disturbance. More pts receiving GUS achieved clinically meaningful improvement vs PBO except for depression and anxiety in the GUS q4W group, which were numerically improved (Fig 2).Conclusion:Active PsA pts treated with GUS achieved clinically meaningful reduction in symptoms and improvement in physical function and social participation vs PBO at W24.References:[1]http://www.healthmeasures.net/score-and-interpret/interpret-scores/meaningful-change/165-meaningful-changeTable.PROMIS-29 Domain T-Scores Least Square (LS) Mean Change from BaselineLS Mean Change from BaselinePBOGUS q8WGUS q4WAnxiety-1.37-3.23*-2.92Depression-0.85-3.4**-2.67*Fatigue-1.86-4.79**-5.08**Pain interference-2.30-5.49**-5.69**Physical function1.343.89**5.05**Sleep disturbance-1.17-3.48**-2.46Social participation1.454.90**4.52**Pain intensity-0.56-1.98**-2.32**Nominal p-values vs placebo: *<0.05, **<0.01Acknowledgments:NoneDisclosure of Interests:Ana-Maria Orbai Grant/research support from: Abbvie, Eli Lilly and Company, Celgene, Novartis, Janssen, Horizon, Consultant of: Eli Lilly; Janssen; Novartis; Pfizer; UCB.

Abstract
Background:Guselkumab (GUS), a novel monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the p19-subunit of IL-23, demonstrated efficacy in the Ph 3 DISCOVER-1 (D1) & DISCOVER-2 (D2) trials of pts with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).1,2Dactylitis & enthesitis, key PsA clinical manifestations, can be difficult to treat and may portend more significant disease burden.3,4Objectives:In pts with dactylitis or enthesitis at baseline, assess: 1) changes in symptoms over time and 2) relationships between improvements in dactylitis or enthesitis and other PsA domains.Methods:Adults with active PsA despite standard therapies were eligible for D1 & D2. Approx. 30% of D1 pts previously received 1-2 TNF inhibitors; D2 pts were biologic-naïve. Pts were randomized 1:1:1 to GUS 100mg Q4W; GUS 100mg at W0, W4, Q8W; or PBO. Independent assessors evaluated dactylitis (total score: 0-60) & enthesitis (Leeds Enthesitis Index [LEI]; total score 0-6). Dactylitis and enthesitis findings through W24 were prespecified to be pooled across D1 & D2. P-values are unadjusted. We assessed changes in dactylitis and LEI scores over time (ANCOVA); associations between dactylitis or enthesitis resolution and ACR/PASI responses at W24 (Chi-square); and correlations between dactylitis or LEI and HAQ-DI/SF-36 change scores at W24 (Spearman’s correlation). AEs through W24 were reported.1,2Results:At W0, 42% of pooled D1+D2 pts had dactylitis; 65% had enthesitis. GUS improved dactylitis and LEI scores vs PBO at W8, W16, W24. GUS vs PBO differences were significant for dactylitis changes at W16 & W24 and LEI changes at W8 (Q4W only), W16 & W24; no dose response was observed (Fig). Rates of dactylitis or enthesitis resolution by W24 were consistently significantly (p<0.001) associated with ACR20/50/70 and PASI75/90 response (Table). In GUS-treated pts at W24, significant correlations were observed between dactylitis change scores and PASI (p<0.001 Q4W; p=0.006 Q8W) and SF-36 MCS (p=0.038 Q4W; p=0.003 Q8W) changes, and between LEI and HAQ-DI change scores (p<0.001 Q4W; p=0.005 Q8W). No consistent correlations/associations were observed between dactylitis or LEI scores and other clinical outcomes.Conclusion:In PsA pts with dactylitis or enthesitis at W0, GUS improved dactylitis or LEI scores vs PBO by W8; treatment differences were significant at W16 & W24. Resolution of dactylitis or enthesitis was significantly associated with clinically meaningful improvements in PsA joint & skin symptoms. Improved dactylitis scores correlated with improved skin symptoms and mental health; improved LEI scores correlated with improved physical function.References:[1]Deodhar A (A#807),[2]Mease P (A#L13), Arthritis Rheumatol 2019;71(suppl 10);[3]DOI: 10.1186/s13075-017-1399-5;4DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2018.02.002Table.Pooled DISCOVER-1&2: associations between dactylitis/enthesitis resolution and joint/skin responseACR20ACR50ACR70PASI75aPASI90aDactylitis resolutionbN%pts%pts%ptsN%pts%pts Q4W37355*34*16*12178*55* Q8W37553*31*16*11680*65* PBO37226*12*5*11519*10*Enthesitis resolutionc Q4W24334*31*11*18782*63* Q8W23040*7*12*16277*62* PBO25514*13*5*18219*9** p < 0.001 (Chi-square)aIn pts with ≥3% BSA psoriasis & IGA ≥2 at W0bIn pts with D at W0cIn pts with E at W0Acknowledgments:NoneDisclosure of Interests:Dennis McGonagle Grant/research support from: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Iain McInnes Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene, Eli Lilly and Company, Janssen, and UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celgene, Eli Lilly and Company, Gilead, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, and UCB, Atul Deodhar Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Eli Lilly, GSK, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol Myer Squibb (BMS), Eli Lilly, GSK, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Amgen, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol Myer Squibb (BMS), Eli Lilly, GSK, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Georg Schett Speakers bureau: AbbVie, BMS, Celgene, Janssen, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Roche and UCB, Philip J Mease Grant/research support from: Abbott, Amgen, Biogen Idec, BMS, Celgene Corporation, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Sun Pharmaceutical, UCB – grant/research support, Consultant of: Abbott, Amgen, Biogen Idec, BMS, Celgene Corporation, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Sun Pharmaceutical, UCB – consultant, Speakers bureau: Abbott, Amgen, Biogen Idec, BMS, Eli Lilly, Genentech, Janssen, Pfizer, UCB – speakers bureau, May Shawi Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, LLC, Shelly Kafka Employee of: Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, Chetan Karyekar Shareholder of: Johnson & Johnson, Consultant of: Janssen, Employee of: Janssen Global Services, LLC.

Abstract
Background:Guselkumab (GUS), a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the p19-subunit of IL-23, is approved to treat psoriasis. Through Week24 (W24) of the Ph3, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled trial in biologic-naïve pts with active PsA (DISCOVER-2), GUS every 4 or 8 weeks (Q4W or Q8W) demonstrated efficacy for joint & skin symptoms and inhibition of structural damage progression (Q4W), and was well tolerated.Objectives:Assess GUS efficacy and safety through W52.Methods:Biologic-naïve adults with active PsA (≥5 swollen+≥5 tender joints; CRP ≥0.6mg/dL) were randomized (1:1:1) to GUS 100 mg Q4W; GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, Q8W; or PBO. At W24, PBO pts crossed over to GUS 100 mg Q4W (PBO X Q4W). ACR response rates at W52, based on nonresponder imputation (NRI) for missing data and as observed in pts who continued study agent at W24, are shown. Observed data for additional endpoints, including PsA-modified van der Heijde Sharp (vdH-S) scores derived from blinded radiographic images collected at W0, W24, W52 (or at d/c) and scored in a new Read Campaign, are shown.Results:712/739 (96.3%) randomized & treated pts continued study agent at W24; 689/739 (93.2%) completed Wk52. NRI ACR20 response rates continued to increase after W24, and at W52 were 70.6% for GUS Q4W and 74.6% for GUS Q8W (Fig 1A). Similar response patterns were observed for the more stringent ACR50/70 criteria (Fig 1C,E). Observed ACR (Fig, 1B,D,F), IGA, PASI & MDA/VLDA responses; dactylitis & enthesitis resolution; and mean improvements in HAQ-DI and SF-36 PCS/MCS scores were also sustained through W52 in pts receiving Q4W & Q8W; W52 data for PBO X Q4W pts were generally consistent with other GUS-treated pts (Fig 1, Table 1). Changes in vdH-S scores were similar for W24-52 (0.62) and W0-24 (0.46) for Q4W; less radiographic progression occurred from W24-52 v W0-24 for Q8W (0.23 v 0.73) & PBO X Q4W (0.25 v 1.00). In 731 GUS-treated pts, 4.2% had SAEs; 1.2% had serious infections; no pt died; and no pt had IBD, opportunistic infections or active TB, or anaphylactic or serum sickness-like reactions.Table 1.Observed Efficacy1GUSQ4WGUSQ8WPBO X(W0-24)GUS Q4W(W24-52)Data are % unless otherwise statedW24W52W24W52W24W52Dactylitis at W0,n1161111071059593Resolution68.181.160.781.941.178.5Enthesitis at W0,n165160151148172168Resolution45.560.057.665.532.667.3≥3% BSA psoriasis, IGA ≥2 at W0,n176173172170176172IGA 0/1 + ≥2-grade decrease71.084.472.177.119.984.3PASI7581.891.980.888.823.388.4PASI9063.681.570.377.110.276.7PASI10046.661.346.554.72.855.2HAQ-DI,n234229238234237230Mean change-0.4-0.5-0.4-0.5-0.2-0.4SF-36 scores,n (mean change)234229238234237230Physical Component - PCS7.29.07.89.53.88.1Mental Component - MCS4.14.14.54.52.24.3MDA/VLDA, n234228238234238231MDA19.736.826.532.96.331.6VLDA5.112.224.6317.11.36.91Randomized pts still on study agent at W24;2N=229;3N=237Conclusion:In biologic-naïve pts with active PsA, GUS elicited sustained improvements in joint & skin symptoms; inhibition of radiographic progression & improvements in physical function, quality of life & composite indices through W52.

Abstract
The advanced medium-throughput NanoString nCounter technology has been increasingly used for mRNA or miRNA differential expression (DE) studies due to its advantages including direct measurement of molecule expression levels without amplification, digital readout and superior applicability to formalin fixed paraffin embedded samples. However, the analysis of nCounter data is hampered because most methods developed are based on t-tests, which do not fit the count data generated by the NanoString nCounter system. Furthermore, data normalization procedures of current methods are either not suitable for counts or not specific for NanoString nCounter data. We develop a novel DE detection method based on NanoString nCounter data. The method, named NanoStringDiff, considers a generalized linear model of the negative binomial family to characterize count data and allows for multifactor design. Data normalization is incorporated in the model framework through data normalization parameters, which are estimated from positive controls, negative controls and housekeeping genes embedded in the nCounter system. We propose an empirical Bayes shrinkage approach to estimate the dispersion parameter in the model and a likelihood ratio test to identify differentially expressed genes. Simulations and real data analysis demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than existing methods.
