Ixekizumab Efficacy in Patients with Severe Peripheral Psoriatic Arthritis: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study (SPIRIT-P1).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The efficacy and safety of ixekizumab, an anti-interleukin-17A antibody, in patients with severe symptoms of psoriatic arthritis are largely unexplored. We report the efficacy and safety of ixekizumab in a post hoc analysis of the SPIRIT-P1 trial.

Methods

Patients were treated with placebo, ixekizumab 80 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) or 4 weeks (Q4W), or adalimumab 40 mg Q2W for 24 weeks. In this subgroup analysis of SPIRIT-P1, the population with severe psoriatic arthritis was defined using the modified composite psoriatic activity index total score > 7 and peripheral arthritis score = 3 (> 4 tender or swollen joint count and ≥ 0.5 Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index). Efficacy was measured by joint and skin endpoints including disease progression.
