Mashup Score: 16Low uveitis rates in patients with axial spondyloarthritis treated with bimekizumab: pooled results from phase 2b/3 trials - 9 month(s) ago
Objectives Acute anterior uveitis (‘uveitis’) is a common axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) extramusculoskeletal manifestation. Interleukin (IL)-17 is implicated in its pathogenesis, however, there is conflicting evidence for IL-17A inhibition in uveitis management. We report pooled analyses of uveitis incidence in patients receiving bimekizumab (BKZ), a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits IL-17F in addition to IL-17A, from phase 2b/3 trials. Methods Data were pooled for patients receiving BKZ 160 mg or placebo in the double-blind treatment period of the phase 3 BE MOBILE 1 ([NCT03928704][1]; non-radiographic axSpA) and BE MOBILE 2 ([NCT03928743][2]; radiographic axSpA) trials. Data were separately pooled for patients treated with at least one BKZ dose in the BE MOBILE trials and their ongoing open-label extension (OLE; [NCT04436640][3]), and the phase 2b BE AGILE trial ([NCT02963506][4]; radiographic axSpA) and its ongoing OLE ([NCT03355573][5]).

Mashup Score: 3
Objectives Bimekizumab (BKZ), a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits interleukin (IL)-17F in addition to IL-17A, has demonstrated superior efficacy versus placebo in patients with non-radiographic (nr-) and radiographic (r-) axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) at Week 16. Here, the objective is to report the efficacy and safety of BKZ at Week 52. Methods BE MOBILE 1 (nr-axSpA; [NCT03928704][1]) and BE MOBILE 2 (r-axSpA; [NCT03928743][2]) comprised a 16-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, then a 36-week maintenance period. From Week 16, all patients received subcutaneous BKZ 160 mg every 4 weeks. Results Improvements versus placebo in Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society ≥40% response (primary endpoint), Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels and MRI inflammation of the sacroiliac joints/spine at Week 16 were sustained to Week 52 in BKZ-randomised patients. At Week 52, responses of patients switchin

Objectives Bimekizumab (BKZ) is a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits interleukin (IL)-17F in addition to IL-17A. BKZ treatment has demonstrated superior efficacy versus placebo (PBO) at Week 16 in biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-naïve patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Here, we report long-term efficacy and safety to Week 52. Methods BE OPTIMAL comprised a 16-week, double-blind, PBO-controlled period, then 36 weeks treatment-blind. Patients were randomised 3:2:1 to subcutaneous BKZ 160 mg every 4 weeks, PBO with switch to BKZ at Week 16, or reference arm (adalimumab (ADA) 40 mg every 2 weeks). Efficacy outcomes included the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) response criteria 20/50/70, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75/90/100 in patients with baseline psoriasis affecting ≥3% body surface area and minimal disease activity (MDA); non-responder imputation. Results ACR20/50/70, PASI75/90/100 and MDA responses were sustained w

Bimekizumab treatment had superior improvements in joint, skin, and radiographic efficacy outcomes at week 16 compared with placebo in patients with psoriatic arthritis who were naive to biologic DMARDs. The safety profile of bimekizumab, including the occurrence of fungal infections, was consistent with previous phase 3 studies in patients with plaque psoriasis, and with IL-17A inhibitors.
