Osteoarthritis is a common inflammatory disorder with no disease-modifying therapies. Whether inhibition of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) can reduce the consequences of large joint osteoarthritis is unclear.
To determine whether IL-1β inhibition with canakinumab reduces incident total hip or knee replacement (THR/TKR).
Exploratory analysis of a randomized trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01327846).
1091 clinical sites in 39 countries.
10 061 CANTOS (Canakinumab Anti-inflammatory Thrombosis Outcomes Study) participants.
Random allocation to placebo or canakinumab (50, 150, or 300 mg) subcutaneously once every 3 months.
The primary and secondary outcomes were time to first incident THR/TKR and time to first occurrence of an osteoarthritis-related adverse event (AE). Data were obtained through blinded ascertainment of trial clinical and safety databases.
Median follow-up was 3.7 years. For the individual canakinumab dose groups, compared with placebo, hazard ratios (HRs) for incident THR/TKR during follow-up were 0.60 (95% CI, 0.38 to 0.95) for the 50-mg group, 0.53 (CI, 0.33 to 0.84) for the 150-mg group, and 0.60 (CI, 0.38 to 0.93) for the 300-mg group. Thus, in the pooled canakinumab groups, compared with the placebo group, incidence rates for THR/TKR were 0.31 and 0.54 events per 100 person-years (HR, 0.58 [CI, 0.42 to 0.80]; = 0.001), respectively. The HR for the secondary end point of osteoarthritis-related AEs was 0.73 (CI, 0.61 to 0.87). Similar findings were observed in analyses restricted to participants with a history of osteoarthritis.
Because the parent trial was not designed to examine the efficacy of IL-1β inhibitors in osteoarthritis, information on structural joint outcomes was not collected.
Findings from this exploratory analysis of a randomized controlled trial support further investigation of IL-1β inhibition for treatment of large joint osteoarthritis.

骨关节炎是一种常见的炎症性疾病,目前尚无针对该病的治疗方法。白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)抑制剂是否能减轻大关节骨关节炎的后果尚不明确。
评估 IL-1β 抑制剂卡那奴单抗(canakinumab)能否减少全髋关节或全膝关节置换术(THR/TKR)的发生。
随机试验的探索性分析。(ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT01327846)。
39 个国家的 1091 个临床地点。
CANTOS(卡那奴单抗抗炎性血栓结局研究)参与者 10061 例。
皮下注射安慰剂或卡那奴单抗(50、150 或 300mg),每 3 个月 1 次,随机分组。
主要和次要结局为首次发生 THR/TKR 的时间和首次发生与骨关节炎相关的不良事件(AE)的时间。数据通过盲法确定试验临床和安全性数据库获得。
中位随访 3.7 年。对于各个卡那奴单抗剂量组,与安慰剂相比,随访期间发生 THR/TKR 的风险比(HR)分别为 50mg 组 0.60(95%CI,0.38 至 0.95)、150mg 组 0.53(CI,0.33 至 0.84)和 300mg 组 0.60(CI,0.38 至 0.93)。因此,在卡那奴单抗联合治疗组中,与安慰剂组相比,THR/TKR 的发生率分别为每 100 人年 0.31 和 0.54 例(HR,0.58 [CI,0.42 至 0.80];=0.001)。与骨关节炎相关 AE 的次要终点 HR 为 0.73(CI,0.61 至 0.87)。在仅限于有骨关节炎病史的参与者的分析中也观察到了类似的发现。
由于主要试验并非专门设计来评估 IL-1β 抑制剂在骨关节炎中的疗效,因此未收集结构关节结局的相关信息。
这项随机对照试验的探索性分析结果支持进一步研究 IL-1β 抑制剂治疗大关节骨关节炎。
