The clinical utility of the multibiomarker disease activity (MBDA) test for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) management in routine care in the United States has not been thoroughly studied.
Using 2011-2015 Medicare data, we linked each patient with RA to their MBDA test result. Initiation of a biologic or Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor in the 6 months following MBDA testing was described. Multivariable adjustment evaluated the likelihood of adding or switching biologic/JAK inhibitor, controlling for potential confounders. For patients with high MBDA scores who added a new RA therapy and were subsequently retested, lack of improvement in the MBDA score was evaluated as a predictor of future RA medication failure, defined by the necessity to change RA medications again.
Among 60,596 RA patients with MBDA testing, the proportion adding or switching biologics/JAK inhibitor among those not already taking a biologic/JAK inhibitor was 9.0% (low MBDA), 11.8% (moderate MBDA), and 19.7% (high MBDA, p < 0.0001). Similarly, among those already taking biologics/JAK inhibitor, the proportions were 5.2%, 8.3%, and 13.5% (p < 0.0001). After multivariable adjustment, referent to those with low disease MBDA scores, the likelihood of switching was 1.51-fold greater (95% CI 1.35-1.69) for patients with moderate MBDA scores, and 2.62 (2.26-3.05) for patients with high MBDA scores. Among those with high MBDA scores who subsequently added a biologic/JAK inhibitor and were retested, lack of improvement in the MBDA score category was associated with likelihood of future RA treatment failure (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.27-2.03).
The MBDA score was associated with both biologic and JAK inhibitor medication addition/switching and subsequent treatment outcomes.
尚未深入研究多生物标志物疾病活动(MBDA)检测在 美国常规护理中对类风湿关节炎(RA)管理的临床实用性。
使用 2011-2015 年 Medicare 数据,我们将每位 RA 患者与其 MBDA 检测结果相关联。描述了在 MBDA 检测后 6 个月内开始使用生物制剂或 Janus 激酶(JAK)抑制剂的情况。多变量调整评估了添加或切换生物制剂/JAK 抑制剂的可能性,同时控制了潜在的混杂因素。对于添加新的 RA 治疗且随后再次进行 MBDA 检测的高 MBDA 评分患者,评估 MBDA 评分无改善作为未来 RA 药物治疗失败的预测指标,定义为再次改变 RA 药物治疗的必要性。
在 60596 例接受 MBDA 检测的 RA 患者中,未接受生物制剂/JAK 抑制剂治疗的患者中添加或切换生物制剂/JAK 抑制剂的比例分别为 9.0%(低 MBDA)、11.8%(中 MBDA)和 19.7%(高 MBDA,p < 0.0001)。同样,在已经接受生物制剂/JAK 抑制剂治疗的患者中,这些比例分别为 5.2%、8.3%和 13.5%(p < 0.0001)。经过多变量调整后,与低疾病 MBDA 评分的患者相比,中 MBDA 评分患者的切换可能性增加 1.51 倍(95%CI 1.35-1.69),高 MBDA 评分患者增加 2.62 倍(2.26-3.05)。在随后添加生物制剂/JAK 抑制剂并再次进行 MBDA 检测的高 MBDA 评分患者中,MBDA 评分类别的无改善与未来 RA 治疗失败的可能性相关(OR 1.61,95%CI 1.27-2.03)。
MBDA 评分与生物制剂和 JAK 抑制剂的药物添加/切换以及随后的治疗结果均相关。
