    Abstract: The Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) is a recommended composite score for assessing the remission status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, determination of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels takes several hours and sometimes days and limits the use of the SDAI in the clinical setting. The aim of this study was to validate the SDAI using a quick quantitative C-reactive protein (qCRP) assay (as SDAI-Q) in RA patients. Design: This is a multicenter, prospective, cross-sectional pilot study in RA patients. Methods: Adult patients (⩾18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of RA were recruited between January 2020 and September 2020 from five rheumatologic centers located in Berlin, Germany. SDAI, SDAI-Q, Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), and DAS28 scores comprising CRP, qCRP, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were calculated. The agreement of disease activity categories was analyzed using cross tabulations and weighted Cohen’s kappa. The agreement of numerical values was analyzed with Bland–Altman plots and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Results: Overall, 100 RA patients were included in the statistical analysis. The mean value of qCRP (7.89 ± 16.98 mg/l) was slightly higher than that of routine laboratory CRP (6.97 ± 15.02 mg/l). Comparing SDAI and SDAI-Q, all patients were assigned to identical disease activity categories. Agreement of disease activity categories by CDAI and SDAI/SDAI-Q was observed in 93% with a weighted Cohen’s kappa of 0.929 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.878; 0.981). Conclusion: The SDAI-Q showed an absolute agreement regarding the assignment of disease activity categories in comparison with the conventional SDAI. Therefore, the SDAI-Q may facilitate the application of a treat-to-target concept in clinical trials and clinical routine as a quickly available disease activity score incorporating CRP as an objective parameter.

    Abstract: The objective of the study was to validate the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) based on a quick quantitative C-reactive protein (qCRP) assay (ASDAS-Q) in a multicentre, prospective, cross-sectional study in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axial SpA). Methods: Disease activity assessment was performed in prospectively recruited patients with axial SpA. Routine laboratory CRP was determined in the central laboratory of each study centre, while quick qCRP and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were measured locally. Consequently, ASDAS-CRP, ASDAS-Q using the qCRP and ASDAS-ESR were calculated. The absolute agreement on the disease activity category ascertainment was analysed with cross-tabulations and weighted Cohen’s kappa. Bland–Altman plots and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to analyse the criterion validity. Results: Overall, 251 axial SpA patients were included in the analysis. The mean qCRP value (6.34 ± 11.13 mg/l) was higher than that of routine laboratory CRP (5.26 ± 9.35 mg/l). The ICC for routine laboratory CRP versus qCRP was 0.985 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.972–0.991]. Comparing ASDAS-Q with ASDAS-CRP, 242 of 251 (96.4%) patients were assigned to the same disease activity categories with a weighted Cohen’s kappa of 0.966 (95% CI: 0.943–0.988) and ICC of 0.997 (95% CI: 0.994–0.999). Conclusions: ASDAS-Q showed an almost perfect agreement with ASDAS-CRP in the assignment to specific disease activity categories. Consequently, ASDAS-Q using the qCRP value can be applied as an accurate and quickly available alternative to ASDAS-CRP, thus facilitating the implementation of the treat-to-target concept in clinical trials and clinical routine.

    Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the Disease Activity index for PSoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) based on a quick quantitative C reactive protein (qCRP) assay (Q-DAPSA) in a multicentre, prospective, cross-sectional study in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods The assessment of prospectively recruited study patients included joint examination and patient reported outcome (PRO) measures (patient global assessment, patient pain assessment). Following, the DAPSA based on a routine laboratory CRP measurement, Q-DAPSA and clinical DAPSA (cDAPSA) were calculated. Cross-tabulations and weighted Cohen’s kappa were performed to analyse the agreement of disease activity categories. Bland-Altman plots and intraclass correlation coefficients were used to determine the agreement of numerical values regarding CRP and qCRP as well as different disease activity scores. Results Altogether, 104 patients with PsA could be included in the statistical analysis. With Q-DAPSA, 102 of 104 (98.1%) patients achieved identical disease activity categories in comparison to DAPSA with a weighted Cohen’s kappa of 0.980 (95% CI: 0.952 to 1.000). The agreement between DAPSA and cDAPSA was slightly lower with identical disease activity categories seen in 97 of 104 (93.3%) of patients and with a weighted Cohen’s kappa of 0.932 (95% CI 0.885 to 0.980). Conclusions The Q-DAPSA showed an almost perfect agreement with the conventional DAPSA regarding identical disease activity categories. Thus, the Q-DAPSA can be used as a timely available disease activity score in patients with PsA with the additional benefit of CRP involvement. Consequently, the Q-DAPSA could facilitate the implementation of the treat-to-target concept in clinical routine and clinical trials.

    Abstract: Autoantibodies against CD 74 (anti‐ CD 74) are associated with ankylosing spondylitis ( AS ). The present multicenter study, the International Spondyloarthritis Autoantibody (InterSpA) trial, was undertaken to compare the sensitivity and specificity of anti‐ CD 74 and HLA –B27 in identifying patients with nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods Patients ages 18–45 years with inflammatory back pain of ≤2 years’ duration and a clinical suspicion of axSpA were recruited. HLA –B27 genotyping and magnetic resonance imaging of sacroiliac joints were performed in all patients. One hundred forty‐nine patients with chronic inflammatory back pain ( IBP ) not caused by axSpA served as controls, and additional controls included 50 AS patients and 100 blood donors whose specimens were analyzed. Results One hundred patients with inflammatory back pain received a diagnosis of nonradiographic axSpA from the investigators and fulfilled the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society ( ASAS ) criteria. The mean age was 29 years, and the mean symptom duration was 12.5 months. The sensitivity of IgA anti‐ CD 74 and IgG anti‐ CD 74 for identifying the 100 axSpA patients was 47% and 17%, respectively. The specificity of both IgA anti‐ CD 74 and IgG anti‐ CD 74 was 95.3%. The sensitivity of HLA –B27 was 81%. The positive likelihood ratios were 10.0 (IgA anti‐ CD 74), 3.6 (IgG anti‐ CD 74), and 8.1 ( HLA –B27). Assuming a 5% pretest probability of axSpA in chronic back pain patients, the posttest probability, after consideration of the respective positive test results, was 33.3% for IgA anti‐ CD 74, 15.3% for IgG anti‐ CD 74, and 28.8% for HLA –B27. A combination of IgA anti‐ CD 74 and HLA –B27 results in a posttest probability of 80.2%. Conclusion IgA anti‐ CD 74 may be a useful tool for identifying axSpA. The diagnostic value of the test in daily practice requires further confirmation.

    Abstract: A personalised approach is required to optimise management of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Shared decision-making between physician and patient is key, resulting in greater patient satisfaction and outcomes. We assessed the degree of perceived collaboration following clinic visits in the UK and Europe and whether this was associated with treatment escalation. Methods The ASSIST study was a cross-sectional observational study of PsA patients aged 18 years and older selected from 24 centres across 5 countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) between July 2021 and March 2022 (IRAS: 287039). Patients attending a face-to-face appointment with a diagnosis of PsA made by a rheumatologist were selected by systematic sampling at each centre and treated in routine clinical practice. Patients completed the collaboRATE questionnaire (scored 0-9), where high scores indicate greater perceived collaboration. The perceived efficacy in patient-physician interactions (PEPPI) tool (scored 5-25) assessed the patients’ view on their confidence in the consultation. Patient, physician, and disease characteristics were recorded, alongside treatment decisions (medications unchanged, switched, added or reduced). The analysis was descriptive, with no imputation of missing data. Results 503 patients were included, with key characteristics shown (Table 1). Generally, the level of disease severity was low (mean total PsAID score 3.6/10) and PEPPI scores were high, indicating patient confidence in the consultation. A subgroup (n = 10) perceived difficulty in sharing their concerns (PEPPI & lt;12/25). However, collaboRATE scores remained high (mean score 7.96), suggesting satisfaction in the physician’s effort to understand patient concerns. Consultation satisfaction was not associated with treatment decisions: mean collaboRATE and PEPPI scores in those with and without treatment escalation were similar. Mean collaboRATE and PsAID scores were not associated. In patients with low collaboRATE scores ( & lt;5), only patients with higher PsAID scores ( & gt;5) had treatment escalation. However, in patients with high collaboRATE scores, even patients with low PsAID scores had treatment escalation. Conclusion Patients report high levels of shared decision-making in face-to-face PsA consultations, unrelated to treatment escalation. In patients with low PsAID scores, those with higher perceived collaboration are more likely to have treatment escalation than those without, perhaps reflecting the identification of otherwise undetected symptoms/concerns.

    Abstract: Background/Aims  SERENA is an ongoing, non-interventional study involving ∼400 European sites with an observation period of ≤ 5 years to evaluate retention, effectiveness, safety/tolerability and quality of life with secukinumab (SEC) in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in the real world. We present effectiveness and safety data through 1 year in the 577 PsA and 507 AS patients enrolled, of which 533 PsA and 461 AS patients comprised the target study population (fulfilling all eligibility criteria). Methods  Patients (aged ≥18 years) with active PsA or AS who were treated for at least 16 weeks with SEC were enrolled. Effectiveness assessments included 78 tender joint count/76 swollen joint count, PGA, total pain (VAS, 0-100 mm), presence of enthesitis/dactylitis and PASI75/90/100 in patients with PsA, and BASDAI, PtGA, C-reactive protein, ASDAS and total spinal pain in patients with AS. Results  Mean disease duration from diagnosis to enrolment was 8.6 and 9.8 years for PsA and AS patients. Patients received SEC for a mean duration of 1 year prior to enrolment (range: 0.90-1.00). In total, 64.7% (N = 533) of PsA and 60.7% (N = 461) of AS patients received other biologic drugs prior to SEC treatment, with 59.7% and 52.7% of PsA and AS patients receiving at least two different biologic drugs. Most patients pre-treated with biologics discontinued biologic treatment due to lack of efficacy (88.0% PsA; 86.8% AS). Retention rates for SEC after 1 year were 85.9% and 86.5% in PsA and AS patients. Responses across all effectiveness assessments in both cohorts were maintained or improved after 1 year of observation (Table 1). No new or unexpected safety signals were reported.

    Abstract: SERENA is an ongoing, prospective, non-interventional study evaluating retention, effectiveness, safety/tolerability and quality of life in & gt; 2,900 patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) treated with secukinumab at 438 sites across Europe for up to 5 years. We present interim results reporting secukinumab treatment retention and safety data through two years in PsA and AS patients. Methods This interim analysis presents data from 534 PsA and 470 AS patients enrolled (target population fulfilling eligibility criteria) and followed for at least two years. Patients (≥18 years) with active PsA or AS should have received at least 16 weeks secukinumab treatment before enrolment in the study. Retention rate was defined as percentage of patients who did not discontinue secukinumab treatment. Treatment break was defined as interruption of therapy for at least three months after last injection. Results The mean treatment duration prior to enrolment in the study was 1.0 year and 0.91 year for PsA and AS, respectively. The retention rates for secukinumab after one year since enrolment and since initiation of treatment were: PsA, 85.2% (n = 519, CI: 82.01-88.32) and 96.8% (n = 528, CI: 95.18-98.38); AS, 85.8% (n = 452, CI: 82.52-89.17) and 94.2% (n = 464, CI: 91.94-96.42), respectively. After two years since enrolment and since initiation of treatment, the retention rates were: PsA, 74.9% (n = 498, CI: 70.99-78.81) and 87.0% (n = 515, CI: 83.99-89.99); AS, 78.9% (n = 437, CI: 75.01-82.88) and 84.8% (n = 454, CI: 81.39-88.21), respectively. At baseline, the majority of PsA (79.5%; n/N=423/532) patients were receiving secukinumab 300 mg, while 97.0% (n/N=456/470) of AS patients were receiving secukinumab 150 mg. The majority of patients continued their initial secukinumab dose; “no dose change” in secukinumab treatment was reported after one and two years in the study (year one: PsA, 93.4% [n = 499] and AS, 92.6% [n = 435] ; year two: PsA, 89.7% [n = 479] and AS, 87.9% [n = 413] ). Secukinumab treatment break was recorded for 31 PsA patients (median [min, max] treatment break duration in days: 125.0 [61-461] ) and for 42 AS patients (118.0 [61-813]), mainly due to adverse events reported in 58.1% (n = 18) and 45.2% (n = 19) of patients, respectively. The retreatment started with monthly dosing in most of the cases: PsA, 80.6% (n/N=25/31) and AS, 76.2% (n/N=32/42). No new or unexpected safety signals were reported. Conclusion Secukinumab retention rates in a real-world setting after more than two years since initiation of treatment and after two years since study enrolment indicate high persistence rates. Safety data collected prospectively for up to two years confirm the favorable safety profile of secukinumab. Disclosure K.

    Abstract: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a heterogeneous, multi-dimensional disease. Treatment pathways are not well defined and have to be tailored to the individual; however, little is known about the factors underpinning a decision to intensify treatment. By comparing treatment data between countries, we can understand more about factors influencing patient outcomes and establish international benchmarks in practice. Methods ASSIST was a cross sectional study of patients (18 years and older) diagnosed with PsA. Participants were selected from 24 centres across 5 countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain). Patients were selected from face to face (F2F) appointments using systematic sampling with random starting numbers generated for each site. Participants were treated as usual in their routine clinical practice. The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and the EQ-5D-5L QoL survey were provided to all participants as patient-reported outcome tools. The perceived confidence on patient-physician interaction score (PEPPI) and the CollaboRATE measure were used to assess patient satisfaction with a consultation. Results 503 patients from 24 centres across five countries in Europe (49.1% F, 50.9% M) (mean age 53) participated in the survey between 12/07/2021-22/03/2022. Despite similar rates of treatment escalation and similar satisfaction with consultations, QoL was poorer in the UK. Comparing EQ-5D-5L scores, participants in the UK (107) reported worse outcomes across all domains except pain/discomfort versus participants in mainland Europe (396). 52.3% in the UK reported some problems with self-care versus 33.9% in mainland Europe. 72.9% of patients in the UK reported issues with mobility (mainland Europe: 61.6%). The UK had the highest percentage of participants reporting issues with anxiety (66.4%). The UK had the most severe HAQ scores, (mean= 0.936) compared to means of 0.62 or below in other countries. Physician-reported severity of disease was higher in the UK; however, patients in the UK reported the second highest PEPPI scores, the second highest collaboRATE scores and comparable methods of treatment escalation (dose adjustment or addition of another medication) to mainland Europe. Moreover, data on co-morbidities (including FCI categorical breakdown) does not demonstrate obvious variation between the UK and Europe. Conclusion Overall, patients with PsA in the UK reported lower quality of life (QoL) compared to patients in mainland Europe. It is not clear from our data why the UK performs less well on the majority of EQ-5D-5L domains and HAQ scoring compared to Europe. This may relate to variation in disease activity; however, there is potential selection bias in the higher disease activity reported by physicians in the UK as patients with more severe disease could have been selected for F2F appointments compared to mainland Europe. There may also be additional factors outside of the consultation impacting these scores, which could be identified with future research. Disclosure C. Coyle: None. L. Watson: None. M. Brooke: None.

    Abstract: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is associated with decreased function and mobility of patients as a result of inflammation and radiographic damage. The Epionics SPINE device (ES), an electronic device that objectively measures spinal mobility, including range of motion (RoM) and speed (ie, range of kinematics [RoK]) of movement, has been clinically validated in axSpA. We investigated the performance of the ES relative to radiographic damage in the axial skeleton of patients with axSpA. Methods A total of 103 patients with axSpA, 31 with nonradiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) and 72 with radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA), were consecutively examined. Conventional radiographs of the spine (including presence, number, and location of syndesmophytes) and the sacroiliac joints (SIJs; rated by the modified New York criteria) were analyzed with the ES. Function and mobility were assessed using analyses of covariance and Spearman correlation. Results The number of syndesmophytes correlated positively with Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index scores ( r 0.38, P = 0.02) and correlated negatively with chest expansion ( r –0.39, P = 0.02) and ES measurements (–0.53 ≤ r ≤ –0.34, all P 〈 0.03), except for RoM and RoK regarding rotation and RoK for extension of the lumbar and thoracic spines. In the radiographic evaluation of the SIJs, the extent of damage correlated negatively with ES scores and metric measurements (–0.49 ≤ r ≤ –0.33, all P 〈 0.001). Patients with r-axSpA, as compared to those with nr-axSpA, showed significantly worse ES scores for RoM, RoK, and chest expansion. Conclusion The ES scores, in accordance with mobility measurements, correlated well with the presence and extent of radiographic damage in the spine and the SIJs. As expected, patients with r-axSpA had more severe impairments than those with nr-axSpA.
