COSENTYX 150 mg

HAQ-DI Response At Week 16 and Year 2 for 300 mg

HAQ-DI Response At Week 16 and Year 2 for 150 mg

In FUTURE 5, HAQ-DI was a prespecified exploratory end point at Week 16 and 2 years in a subgroup of biologic-naive patients. No clinical or statistical conclusions can be drawn.^1,2

*Defined as a change from baseline HAQ-DI score of ≥0.3.²

At baseline, mean HAQ-DI scores in a mixed population were 1.2, 1.3, and 1.3 for the groups receiving COSENTYX 300 mg, COSENTYX 150 mg, and placebo, respectively. Mean changes from baseline at Week 16 were -0.55, -0.44, and -0.21, respectively.³

At Week 16 in FUTURE 2, pivotal trial in a mixed population, estimated mean change from baseline was -0.23 in the placebo group compared with -0.45 in the COSENTYX 150 mg group and -0.55 in the COSENTYX 300 mg group.⁴

COSENTYX clinical trial end points

FUTURE 2

FUTURE 2 studied a mixed population of patients with PsA: 2/3 biologic-naive and 1/3 anti–TNF-α inadequate responders⁴

ACR20 responses at Week 16 (NRI) in the mixed population were 57% (P<0.0001), 60% (P<0.0001), and 18%, respectively, for COSENTYX 300 mg (n=100), 150 mg (n=100), and placebo (n=98)^4,5
The primary end point of ACR20 responses at Week 24 (NRI) was achieved by 54% of patients on COSENTYX 300 mg (n=100) (P<0.0001), 51% on COSENTYX 150 mg (n=100) (P<0.0001), and 15% on placebo (n=98)^4,5
Skin lesions improved in patients with coexistent PsO who received COSENTYX (n=99) compared with placebo (n=43), as measured by the PASI^4,5
Improvements in enthesitis and dactylitis scores were observed in the COSENTYX group compared with placebo at Week 24⁵

FUTURE 5

FUTURE 5 studied a mixed population of patients with PsA: more than 2/3 biologic-naive and less than 1/3 anti–TNF-α inadequate responders²

†At baseline, mNAPSI scores were 18.0 and 17.8 in the 300 mg and 150 mg arms, respectively. At Week 16, mNAPSI scores were 8.8 and 8.4 in the 300 mg and 150 mg arms, respectively.²

Study designs

FUTURE 2 study design

FUTURE 2 was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that evaluated 397 adult patients with active PsA (≥3 swollen and ≥3 tender joints) despite use of NSAIDs, corticosteroids, or DMARDs. Patients had a diagnosis for ≥5 years and received subcutaneous COSENTYX 75 mg (n=99), 150 mg (n=100), 300 mg (n=100), or placebo (n=98) at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, followed by the same dose every 4 weeks thereafter. Patients who received placebo were rerandomized to COSENTYX 150 mg or 300 mg every 4 weeks at Week 16 or Week 24 based on responder status. Primary end point was the percentage of patients with ACR20 response at Week 24. Study population was mixed: 2/3 of patients were biologic-naive and 1/3 were anti–TNF-α inadequate responders.^4,5,7

FUTURE 5 study design

FUTURE 5 was a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that evaluated 996 adult patients with active PsA. Patients were randomized to receive subcutaneous COSENTYX 150 mg without load (n=222), 150 mg with load (n=220), 300 mg with load (n=222), or placebo (n=332). Patients who received placebo were rerandomized to receive COSENTYX 150 mg or 300 mg every 4 weeks, based on responder status at Week 16 (nonresponders) or Week 24 (responders). Primary end point was the percentage of patients with ACR20 response at Week 16. Secondary end points included change in mTSS at Week 24 from baseline. Study population was mixed: more than 2/3 of patients were biologic-naive and less than 1/3 were anti–TNF-α inadequate responders (individual patients could have been exposed to up to 3 TNF-α inhibitors).^2,3

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Infections

COSENTYX may increase the risk of infections. In clinical trials, a higher rate of infections was observed in COSENTYX treated subjects compared to placebo-treated subjects. In placebo-controlled clinical trials in subjects with moderate to severe PsO, higher rates of common infections, such as nasopharyngitis (11.4% versus 8.6%), upper respiratory tract infection (2.5% versus 0.7%) and mucocutaneous infections with candida (1.2% versus 0.3%) were observed in subjects treated with COSENTYX compared to placebo-treated subjects. A similar increase in risk of infection in subjects treated with COSENTYX was seen in placebo-controlled trials in subjects with PsA, AS and nr-axSpA. The incidence of some types of infections, including fungal infections, appeared to be dose-dependent in clinical trials.

In the postmarketing setting, serious bacterial, viral, and fungal opportunistic infections, and some fatal infections have been reported in patients receiving IL-17 inhibitors including COSENTYX. Cases of Hepatitis B virus reactivation have been reported.

Exercise caution when considering the use of COSENTYX in patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms suggestive of an infection occur. If a patient develops a serious infection, monitor the patient closely and discontinue COSENTYX until the infection resolves.

If signs of Hepatitis B virus reactivation occur, consult a hepatitis specialist. COSENTYX is not recommended for use in patients with active viral hepatitis.

Pre-treatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis

Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with COSENTYX. Avoid administration of COSENTYX to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering COSENTYX. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiation of COSENTYX in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) exacerbations, in some cases serious and/or leading to discontinuation of COSENTYX, occurred in COSENTYX treated subjects during clinical trials in PsO, PsA, AS, nr-axSpA, and HS. In adult subjects with HS, the incidence of IBD was higher in subjects who received COSENTYX 300 mg every 2 weeks (Ulcerative Colitis [UC] 1 case, EAIR 0.2/100 subject-years; Crohn’s Disease [CD] 1 case, EAIR 0.2/100 subject-years) compared to subjects who received COSENTYX 300 mg every 4 weeks (IBD 1 case, EAIR 0.2/100 subject-years). In addition, new onset IBD cases occurred in subjects treated with COSENTYX in clinical trials. In an exploratory trial in 59 subjects with active Crohn’s disease [COSENTYX is not approved for the treatment of Crohn’s disease], there were trends toward greater disease activity and increased adverse reactions in subjects treated with COSENTYX as compared to placebo-treated subjects.

Exercise caution when prescribing COSENTYX to patients with IBD. Patients treated with COSENTYX should be monitored for signs and symptoms of IBD.

Eczematous Eruptions

In postmarketing reports, cases of severe eczematous eruptions, including atopic dermatitis-like eruptions, dyshidrotic eczema, and erythroderma, were reported in patients receiving COSENTYX; some cases resulted in hospitalization. The onset of eczematous eruptions was variable, ranging from days to months after the first dose of COSENTYX.

Treatment may need to be discontinued to resolve the eczematous eruption. Some patients were successfully treated for eczematous eruptions while continuing COSENTYX.

Hypersensitivity Reactions

Serious hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria have been reported in COSENTYX treated subjects in clinical trials and in the post-marketing setting. If an anaphylactic or other serious allergic reaction occurs, immediately discontinue administration of COSENTYX and initiate appropriate therapy.

The removable caps of the COSENTYX Sensoready^® pen and the COSENTYX 1 mL and 0.5 mL prefilled syringes contain natural rubber latex, which may cause an allergic reaction in latex-sensitive individuals. The safe use of the COSENTYX Sensoready pen or prefilled syringe in latex-sensitive individuals has not been studied.

Immunizations

Prior to initiating therapy with COSENTYX, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. COSENTYX may alter a patient’s immune response to live vaccines. Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with COSENTYX.

MOST COMMON ADVERSE REACTIONS

Most common adverse reactions (>1%) are nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, and upper respiratory tract infection.
