Key clinical point: In patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), intravenous secukinumab every 4 weeks demonstrated rapid and sustained efficacy, along with a safety profile consistent with that of subcutaneous secukinumab.
Major finding: At week 16, intravenous secukinumab vs placebo significantly improved the American College of Rheumatology 50 response rate (31.4% vs 6.3%; adjusted P < .0001). Improvements were observed as early as week 4 (P < .0005) and were sustained through week 52, regardless of whether patients continued intravenous secukinumab (58.0%) or switched from placebo to intravenous secukinumab (64.0%). No new safety signals were reported.
Study details: In this phase 3 INVIGORATE-2 trial, 381 patients with active PsA and either plaque psoriasis or nail psoriasis were randomly assigned to receive intravenous secukinumab or placebo with crossover to intravenous secukinumab at week 16.
Disclosures: This study was supported by Novartis. Five authors declared being employees of and owning stocks in Novartis. Several authors declared having ties with various sources, including Novartis.
