Abstract

Abstract : Background: Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) have been available for more than a decade for treatment of spondyloarthrtitis (SpA). Secukinumab (SEC) represents a new mode of action, but few studies have compared outcomes in patients(pts) treated with SEC vs TNFi – and the optimal treatment strategy in routine care remains to be established. Comparative studies between SEC and adalimumab (ADA) are ongoing. Objectives: To describe baseline characteristics and compare 1-yr treatment retention of SEC vs TNFi (ADA/certolizumab pegol(CLZ)/etanercept(ETN)/golimumab(GOL)/infliximab(IFX)) in SpA-pts from 5 Nordic countries. Methods: Observational, prospective cohort study. Pts with SpA (ankylosing spondylitis/non-radiographic axial SpA/undifferentiated SpA) starting SEC or any TNFi during 2015-2018 were identified in clinical rheumatology registries of the Nordic countries. Baseline characteristics were retrieved. Country-specific data were pooled. 1-yr treatment retention of SEC vs TNFi was assessed through crude survival probability curves, retention rates and adjusted Cox regression analyses (ADA reference). Analyses were stratified by line of bDMARD and TNFi type. Results: In total, 10692 treatment courses (834 SEC, 9858 TNFi) in 7952 patients were included. SEC was rarely used as 1 st bDMARD (Table 1 ), whereas it was the drug most frequently used as 3 rd + line (Table 2 ). Baseline characteristics were numerically similar for SEC vs TNFi (Table 1 ). 1-yr treatment retention varied between the TNFi (Figure, Table 2 ), with SEC showing retention rates comparable to ADA when used as 1 st or 2 nd line therapy. However, SEC retention was poorer than ADA when used as 3 rd + therapy, but comparable to retention of other TNFi. In adjusted Cox regression analyses, confidence intervals were wide and included 1 for SEC vs ADA (1 st, 2 nd line), whereas there was slightly poorer retention of SEC versus ADA when used as 3 rd + bDMARD (Table 2 ). Conclusion: These observational data in >10.000 biological treatment courses in SpA, showed that SEC was mainly used in bDMARD experienced pts. Baseline characteristics were similar in pts treated with SEC vs TNFi. The 1-yr retention for SEC was similar to that of the TNFi when used as 1 st or 2 nd line, but poorer than ADA regarding 3 rd + courses. Further analyses are planned to explore confounding by indication and channeling towards treatment. Acknowledgments: Glintborg/Lindström shared 1st author, Kristensten/Jacobsson shared last.
