To assess long-term tofacitinib efficacy and safety in patients with PsA with or without prior biologic DMARD (bDMARD) exposure.
Data were pooled post hoc from three phase 3 and one long-term extension (LTE) PsA studies and stratified by TNF inhibitor-inadequate responder (TNFi-IR) or bDMARD-naïve patient status at the phase 3 study baseline. Data were reported as all tofacitinib (patients receiving one or more tofacitinib doses) or average tofacitinib 5 and 10 mg twice daily (patients receiving an average total daily dose <15 and ≥15 mg, respectively). Drug survival to month 51, efficacy to month 42 and safety were assessed descriptively.
A total of 408 TNFi-IR patients (including 29 TNFi-experienced with unknown IR status) and 562 bDMARD-naïve patients were included. At baseline, TNFi-IR patients were more likely to be ≥65 years old, have cardiovascular/venous thromboembolism risk and have longer disease duration bDMARD-naïve patients. Drug survival was numerically shorter in TNFi-IR bDMARD-naïve patients. Tofacitinib efficacy was generally sustained to month 42, regardless of prior bDMARD treatment. Minimal disease activity/ PsA Disease Activity Score ≤3.2/>75% Psoriasis Area and Severity Index improvement response rates were numerically lower in TNFi-IR bDMARD-naïve patients to month 42, but rates of achieving an HAQ Disability Index ≤0.5 and enthesitis/dactylitis resolution were similar. In TNFi-IR bDMARD-naïve patients, treatment-emergent adverse event incidence rates were higher and serious adverse event, serious infection and herpes zoster incidence rates were numerically higher (CI overlapped).
These findings support long-term tofacitinib efficacy and safety in TNFi-IR and bDMARD-naïve patients. However, the benefit-risk profile appeared more favourable in bDMARD-naïve patients, likely due to differences in baseline characteristics and risk factors between subgroups.

评估托法替布对有或无生物性改善病情抗风湿药(bDMARD)治疗史的银屑病关节炎(PsA)患者的长期疗效和安全性。
对三项3期和一项长期扩展(LTE)PsA研究进行事后数据汇总,并根据3期研究基线时肿瘤坏死因子抑制剂反应不足者(TNFi-IR)或初治bDMARD患者状态进行分层。数据报告为所有接受托法替布治疗的患者(接受一剂或多剂托法替布治疗)或平均每日两次服用5毫克和10毫克托法替布的患者(分别接受的平均每日总剂量<15毫克和≥15毫克)。对至第51个月的药物留存率、至第42个月的疗效和安全性进行描述性评估。
共纳入408例TNFi-IR患者(包括29例肿瘤坏死因子抑制剂治疗史未知的患者)和562例初治bDMARD患者。在基线时,TNFi-IR患者比初治bDMARD患者更可能年龄≥65岁,有心血管/静脉血栓栓塞风险,且病程更长。TNFi-IR患者的药物留存率在数值上低于初治bDMARD患者。无论既往是否接受bDMARD治疗,托法替布的疗效一般可持续至第42个月。至第42个月时,TNFi-IR患者的最小疾病活动度/PsA疾病活动评分≤3.2/银屑病面积和严重程度指数改善率在数值上较低,但达到健康评估问卷残疾指数≤0.5以及肌腱端炎/指(趾)炎缓解的比例相似。在TNFi-IR患者和初治bDMARD患者中,治疗中出现的不良事件发生率更高,严重不良事件、严重感染和带状疱疹的发生率在数值上更高(置信区间重叠)。
这些研究结果支持托法替布在TNFi-IR患者和初治bDMARD患者中的长期疗效和安全性。然而,初治bDMARD患者的获益风险比似乎更有利,这可能是由于亚组之间基线特征和风险因素存在差异。
