PsoBest registry: Real-world outcomes of brodalumab for psoriasis and PsA
By Ella Dixon
Brodalumab, an anti-interleukin 17 monoclonal antibody, is approved for use in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and has shown efficacy vs placebo for patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). However, there is a lack of real-world evidence for the safety and efficacy of brodalumab.
Here, we summarize an interim analysis by Schaeffer et al.1 published in Journal of Dermatological Treatment on the real-world outcomes of brodalumab in psoriatic disease from the German psoriasis registry PsoBest.
Methods1
-
The German psoriasis registry PsoBest, follows adult patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis treated with systemic non-biologic or biologic treatment for the first time.
-
In this analysis, patients who were monitored for at least 12 months were selected (data cutoff June 30, 2021).
-
When selecting patients who had started brodalumab treatment (210 mg every 2 weeks), an analysis set of 227 patients was defined.
-
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) was used to measure clinical response.
-
The Dermatology Life Quality Index and Patient Benefit Index (PBI) were used to collect patient-reported outcomes.
Key findings1
-
Of the analysis cohort, 189 patients had psoriasis and 38 had PsA. Most patients were male (69.2%), with a mean disease duration of 22 years, and a baseline mean PASI of 18.0.
-
Within the observation period, 18.1% of patients discontinued treatment.
-
-
The mean time to discontinuation of brodalumab was 8.0 months for patients with psoriasis and 9.7 months for patients with PsA.
-
The most common reason for discontinuation was lack or loss of effectiveness (Figure 1A).
-
-
Mean PASI decreased from baseline to 12 months (18.0 to 2.3).
-
Mean Patient Benefit Index was maintained from 3 months to 12 months (3.0 to 3.1).
-
Mean Dermatology Life Quality Index decreased from baseline to 12 months (12.5 to 1.4, Figure 1B).
-
The mean drug survival rates were 96.6%, 86.4%, and 76.2% at 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively.
