In DISCOVER-2, guselkumab, an interleukin-23 p19 subunit inhibitor, was efficacious in biologic-naïve psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. We report the effect of guselkumab on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) Index and Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS) through Week 52.
Adults with active PsA were randomized to guselkumab 100 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) or Weeks 0, 4, then every 8 weeks (Q8W), or placebo (crossover to guselkumab Q4W at Week 24). Least squares (LS) mean changes in EQ-5D-5L Index (0-1, US-based value set) and EQ-VAS (0-100) from baseline through Week 52 were assessed. Proportions of patients achieving minimally important differences (MIDs) were assessed through Week 52. Associations between patient clinical features and EQ-5D-5L Index and EQ-VAS scores were examined cross-sectionally with pooled data through Week 24.
The analysis included 738 patients (Q4W n = 245; Q8W n = 248; placebo n = 245). At Week 24, LS mean changes from baseline in the Q4W, Q8W, and placebo groups were 0.12, 0.12, and 0.05, respectively, for EQ-5D-5L Index, and 18.2, 18.4, and 6.8, respectively, for EQ-VAS. At Week 52, improvement was maintained in the guselkumab groups and increased in the placebo crossover group. EQ-5D-5L Index MID was achieved by 56.0% in each guselkumab group at Week 24 and 66.2% in Q4W, 68.5% in Q8W, and 66.1% in placebo crossover group at Week 52. Higher C-reactive protein level, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score, fatigue, and pain were correlated with worse EQ-5D-5L Index and EQ-VAS, based on pooled data through Week 24. Higher tender joint count was correlated with worse EQ-5D-5L, while higher swollen joint count was correlated with worse EQ-VAS.
Guselkumab improved HRQoL through 52 weeks in patients with active PsA. Impairment in HRQoL was correlated with increased inflammation, fatigue, pain, and measures of skin and joint symptom severity.

在 DISCOVER-2 研究中,白细胞介素-23 p19 亚基抑制剂古塞库单抗对生物初治的银屑病关节炎(PsA)患者有效。我们报告了古塞库单抗通过第 52 周的欧洲五维健康量表 5 维度 5 水平(EQ-5D-5L)指数和视觉模拟量表(EQ-VAS)对健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的影响。
患有活动性 PsA 的成年人被随机分配至古塞库单抗 100mg,每 4 周(Q4W)或第 0、4 周,然后每 8 周(Q8W),或安慰剂(第 24 周交叉至古塞库单抗 Q4W)。从基线到第 52 周,评估 EQ-5D-5L 指数(0-1,基于美国的价值集)和 EQ-VAS(0-100)的最小二乘(LS)均值变化。通过第 52 周评估达到最小临床重要差异(MID)的患者比例。通过第 24 周的汇总数据,同时进行横截面分析,以评估患者临床特征与 EQ-5D-5L 指数和 EQ-VAS 评分之间的相关性。
该分析纳入了 738 名患者(Q4W 组 n=245;Q8W 组 n=248;安慰剂组 n=245)。在第 24 周时,Q4W、Q8W 和安慰剂组的 EQ-5D-5L 指数 LS 均值变化分别为 0.12、0.12 和 0.05,EQ-VAS 分别为 18.2、18.4 和 6.8。在第 52 周时,古塞库单抗组的改善得以维持,并在安慰剂交叉组中有所增加。在第 24 周时,每个古塞库单抗组的 EQ-5D-5L 指数 MID 达到 56.0%,Q4W 组达到 66.2%,Q8W 组达到 68.5%,安慰剂交叉组达到 66.1%。第 24 周汇总数据显示,C 反应蛋白水平较高、银屑病面积和严重程度指数评分较高、疲劳和疼痛与 EQ-5D-5L 指数和 EQ-VAS 较差相关。基于第 24 周汇总数据,更高的压痛关节计数与 EQ-5D-5L 较差相关,而更高的肿胀关节计数与 EQ-VAS 较差相关。
古塞库单抗在 52 周内改善了活动性 PsA 患者的 HRQoL。HRQoL 的损害与炎症增加、疲劳、疼痛以及皮肤和关节症状严重程度的衡量标准相关。
