IMPORTANCE: Given the possible treatment modalities in psoriasis management, little is known about whether drug monitoring is associated with response rate. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether drug monitoring is associated with response to brodalumab therapy. DESIGN: A multicenter case series study of patients with psoriasis treated with brodalumab whose treatment with previous IL-17A inhibitor therapy failed. Patients were recruited from the Departments of Dermatology at Gentofte and Aarhus University Hospitals, Denmark, between 2018 and 2020. Patient visits were conducted after 4 and 12 weeks of therapy. Patients not achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75% improvement from baseline (PASI 75) after 12 weeks were discontinued and considered nonresponders. Patients maintaining PASI 75 response were followed up for up to 52 weeks. EXPOSURE: Treatment with brodalumab, 210 mg, at weeks 0, 1, 2, then every 2 weeks. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Outcome measures were PASI reductions vs brodalumab levels and antibrodalumab antibodies. RESULTS: Twenty patients with psoriasis (13 [65%] were male; median age, 50 years [range, 19-66 years]) were included. After 12 weeks of therapy, patients with quantifiable levels of brodalumab (≥0.05 μg/mL) experienced significantly higher PASI reductions than those without (median, 93%; range, 61%-100% vs median, -3; range, -49% to 94%, respectively; P = .006). After 12 weeks of therapy, 4 of 5 patients (80%) not achieving PASI 75 had subquantifiable drug levels (<0.05 μg/mL), although this finding was seen for only 3 of 14 PASI 75 responders (21%). None of 7 patients (35%) with subquantifiable drug levels after 12 weeks of therapy maintained response. No antibrodalumab antibodies were detected in any of the tested samples. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Results of this case series study suggest that circulating brodalumab level is a factor associated with clinical treatment response. Monitoring patient levels of circulating brodalumab may aid clinical decision-making and help prevent ineffective therapy.
重要性:鉴于在银屑病管理中可能存在的治疗方式,对于药物监测是否与反应率相关知之甚少。 目的:确定药物监测是否与 brodalumab 治疗的反应相关。 设计:一项多中心病例系列研究,纳入了在丹麦 Gentofte 和奥胡斯大学医院皮肤科接受 brodalumab 治疗且先前接受 IL-17A 抑制剂治疗失败的银屑病患者。研究于 2018 年至 2020 年期间招募患者。在治疗的第 4 周和第 12 周后进行患者访视。在 12 周后未达到从基线改善 75%的银屑病面积和严重程度指数(PASI 75)的患者被停药并被视为无应答者。维持 PASI 75 应答的患者随访长达 52 周。 暴露:在第 0、1、2 周和之后每 2 周接受 brodalumab,210mg。 主要结果和测量指标:结果测量指标为 PASI 减少量与 brodalumab 水平和抗 brodalumab 抗体。 结果:20 名银屑病患者(13 名[65%]为男性;中位年龄 50 岁[范围,19-66 岁])纳入研究。在 12 周的治疗后,可检测到 brodalumab 水平(≥0.05μg/mL)的患者比未检测到的患者经历了显著更高的 PASI 减少量(中位数,93%;范围,61%-100%与中位数,-3;范围,-49%至 94%,分别;P = .006)。在 12 周的治疗后,4 名(80%)未达到 PASI 75 的患者的药物水平不可检测(<0.05μg/mL),尽管这一发现仅见于 14 名 PASI 75 应答者中的 3 名(21%)。在 12 周的治疗后,7 名(35%)不可检测药物水平的患者中,无一人维持应答。在任何检测样本中均未检测到抗 brodalumab 抗体。 结论和相关性:这项病例系列研究的结果表明,循环 brodalumab 水平是与临床治疗反应相关的因素。监测患者循环 brodalumab 水平可能有助于临床决策并有助于预防无效治疗。
