Ustekinumab有望用于治疗活动性银屑病关节炎

『柳叶刀』(Lancet)上的一项临床研究结果显示,与安慰剂相比,Ustekinumab能够明显改善活动性银屑病关节炎,其有望成为治疗该病的新生物制剂。

这项3期多中心、双盲、安慰剂对照研究在欧洲、北美和亚太的104家研究中心开展。纳入活动性银屑病关节炎患者,随机分配接受45mg ustekinumab, 90mg ustekinumab或安慰剂治疗。

结果,于2009年至2011年,共纳入615例患者。研究显示,24周时,45mg治疗组和90mg治疗组分别有42.4%和49.5%的患者获得ACR20(美国风湿病学会评分)改善,而对照组只有22.8%。且治疗52周后疗效仍维持。

第16周,治疗组和安慰剂组出现不良事件的患者比例很类似,分别为41.8%和42.0%。

Efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in patients with active psoriatic arthritis: 1 year results of the phase 3, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled PSUMMIT 1 trial

Summary

Background
Many patients with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disease that afflicts peripheral synovial, axial, and entheseal structures. The fully human monoclonal antibody ustekinumab is an efficacious treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. We did a randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial to assess the safety and efficacy of ustekinumab in patients with active psoriatic arthritis.
Methods
In this phase 3, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial at 104 sites in Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, adults with active psoriatic arthritis (≥5 tender and ≥5 swollen joints, C-reactive protein ≥3·0 mg/L) were randomly assigned (1:1:1, by dynamic central randomisation based on an algorithm implemented by an interactive voice—web response system) to 45 mg ustekinumab, 90 mg ustekinumab, or placebo at week 0, week 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter. At week 16, patients with less than 5% improvement in both tender and swollen joint counts entered masked early-escape and were given 45 mg ustekinumab (if in the placebo group) or 90 mg ustekinumab (if in the 45 mg group). At week 24, all remaining patients in the placebo group received ustekinumab 45 mg, which they continued at week 28 and every 12 weeks thereafter. Our primary endpoint was 20% or greater improvement in American College of Rheumatology (ACR20) criteria at week 24. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01009086) and EudraCT (2009-012264-14).
Findings
Between Nov 30, 2009, and March 30, 2011, 615 patients were randomly assigned—206 to placebo, 205 to 45 mg ustekinumab, and 204 to 90 mg ustekinumab. More ustekinumab-treated (87 of 205 [42·4%] in the 45 mg group and 101 of 204 [49·5%] in the 90 mg group) than placebo-treated (47 of 206 [22·8%]) patients achieved ACR20 at week 24 (p<0·0001 for both comparisons); responses were maintained at week 52. At week 16, proportions of patients with adverse events were similar in the ustekinumab and placebo groups (171 of 409 [41·8%] vs 86 of 205 [42·0%]).
Interpretation
Ustekinumab significantly improved active psoriatic arthritis compared with placebo, and might offer an alternative therapeutic mechanism of action to approved biological treatments.
