Overview

BackgroundPeriodic Fever Syndromes (PFS) are rare autoinflammatory conditions including Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), Hyper-IgD Syndrome/ Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (HIDS/MKD), and TNF-Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS).1 It has been shown that colchicine-resistant FMF (crFMF), HIDS/MKD and TRAPS considerably impact physical and emotional aspects of patients' lives.2–4 Open label studies suggested that canakinumab (CAN), a fully human and highly specific anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody, is efficacious in crFMF, HIDS/MKD and TRAPS.5–7 To date, there is no data showing the effect of CAN on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in PFS patients.ObjectivesTo evaluate the effect of CAN on HRQoL using Child Health Questionnaire – Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF50) and SF-12 Health Survey (SF-12) in PFS patients.MethodsIn a Phase 3 randomised placebo controlled study of CAN in PFS (NCT02059291), SF-12 Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) were assessed in adults. For children (>5–<18 years), CHQ-PF50 Physical (PhS) and Psychosocial (PsS) Summary scores were assessed.Results181 patients were randomised to CAN or placebo in 3 cohorts (63 crFMF, 72 MKD/HIDS, 46 TRAPS). 71 adults ≥18 years and 110 children (age range ≥2–<18 years). Patients reported early clinically meaningful improvement in SF-12 PCS scores reported at Week (Wk) 5 which were sustained and increased to a large effect size by Wk 16 for all indications (Table). Similarly, clinically meaningful improvements in SF-12 MCS, CHQ-PF50 PhS and PsS was observed in all indications, with the exception of PsS in HIDS/MKD and TRAPS patients (Table).Table 1.Patient reported outcomesMean change from baseline (n/N)crFMFHIDS/MKDTRAPSWeek 5Week 16Week 5Week 16Week 5Week 16SF-12 PCS7.9 (29/30)9.55 (30/31)13.81 (15/15)13.81 (14/14)9.63 (16/17)11.64 (13/14)SF-12 MCS4.83 (29/30)4.27 (30/31)6.41 (15/15)8.14 (14/14)5.65 (16/17)5.51 (13/14)CHQ-PF50 PhS13.2 (21/24)20.1 (18/21)5.5 (32/34)9.9 (27/29)7.4 (16/18)14.9 (13/14)CHQ-PF50 PsS4.1 (21/24)7.2 (18/21)1.8* (32/34)5.2 (27/29)0.9* (16/18)1.2* (13/14)N = total number of patients; n = patients who received at least one dose of canakinumab. *Minimal important difference8,9from baseline was not achieved.ConclusionsCanakinumab showed rapid improvement by Week 5 in patient reported outcomes in adults and children with PFS, which was sustained through Week 16.ReferencesSavic S. and Wood P.
