Key clinical point: Risankizumab effectively reduced clinical manifestations of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with inadequate response to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARD) with no new adverse events (AE).
Major finding: At week 24, at least a 20% improvement in the American College of Rheumatology score was achieved by a significantly higher proportion of patients receiving risankizumab vs. placebo (57.3% vs. 33.5%; P < .001). Treatment-emergent AEs were mild/moderate and reported at similar frequencies in risankizumab (40.4%) and placebo (38.7%) groups.
Study details: Findings are from a double-blind, phase 3 KEEPsAKE 1 study including 964 patients with active PsA and inadequate response to ≥1 csDMARDs who were randomly assigned to receive 150 mg risankizumab or placebo at weeks 0, 4, and 16.
Disclosures: This study did not report any source of funding. The authors declared serving as speaker, consultant, investigator, or receiving honoraria, fees, and grants from several sources. Five authors declared being employees or shareholders of AbbVie.
