Official title: Prevention of Metacarpophalangeal Joints Structure Damage in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis Using Secukinumab
Psoriatic arthritis is related with chronic inflammation and progressive radiographic damages, and it in turn lead to disability and loss in function-ability. Recent advance in treatment pathway through anti IL-17 gives promising clinical improvement. Yet, its effect on radiographic progression remains uncertain. This study aimed to ascertain the effect of secukinumab on structural progression in PsA by evaluation through high resolution peripheral quantative computed tomography (HRpqCT).
Read the detailed description
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease associated with psoriasis. PsA is associated with distinctive clinical features including changes in skin and nails, peripheral arthritis, axial disease, dactylitis and enthesitis. Synovial inflammation in peripheral joints is the most prevalent feature of the disease ranging in severity from mild joint inflammation to disabling peripheral arthritis [1]. Within 2 years of diagnosis, radiological erosions were developed in 47% of the patients [2]. Without proper monitoring and treatment, it will lead to significant structure damage and loss of physical function, and even arthritis mutilans, which is the most severe destructive form of PsA [3]. Prevention of structural damage is one of the primary goals of treating PsA patients to maximise health-related quality of life [4].
Detection of bone erosions in PsA patients is usually achieved by conventional radiographs although the sensitivity is low [5]. High-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) is a novel technique for detailed bone microstructure analysis with high reproducibility in assessing bony erosions [6]. With its high spatial resolution of 130 μm, HR-pQCT exhibited a higher sensitivity in detecting erosion compared with radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [7]. Recently, Finzel et al. described an indirect method to assess volume based on measurements of the width and depth of the erosions using HR-pQCT [8]. Quantitative measurement of erosion volume can also be achieved [6]. Using this method, erosion repair under biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) treatment has been demonstrated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [8, 9]. Bone apposition at the margin of erosions (osteosclerosis) with the formation of a new cortical lining was associated with a decrease in erosion depth or width, which may indicate either periosteal or endosteal repair processes [8, 9]. Valid measurement of erosion volume using HR-pQCT will facilitate the testing of treatments that may help to heal erosion. Decrease in erosion volume and the presence of osteosclerosis on HR-pQCT could be promising markers for erosion healing.
Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine which produced by type 17 helper T cells (Th17). It is now considered to be a key cytokine in the pathogenesis of a number of autoimmune disorders in humans including PsA [10]. IL-17 was also reported to be associated with the presence of joint erosion [11]. Recently, secukinumab, an anti-interleukin-17A monoclonal antibody, was reported to be effective in reducing disease activity and decreased the rate of radiographic joint damage compared with placebo [12]. However, whether healing of erosion could occur in PsA has never been evaluated.
On the other hand, osteophytes formation at the entheseal regions of the joints in PsA is distinctive feature compared with RA [13]. The formation of osteophytes is tightly regulated by anabolic pathways, which resembles the pathogenesis of new bone formation in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibition was unable to halt the structural progression in AS patients [14-16], it also lacked efficacy in stopping the progression of osteophytes in PsA patients [17]. Inhibition of IL-17 by secukinumab was effective in the treatment of both AS [18] and PsA [12]. Secukinumab also decreased the rate of radiographic joint damage regarding to erosion and joint space narrowing [12]. However, it is unknown if it has any effect in the progression of osteophytes. In an animal model, although over-expression of IL-17 alone failed to induce entheseal and periosteal bone formation, inhibition of IL-17 leaded to significant reduction of such bone formation in an IL-23 overexpression model [19]. Moreover, IL-17A accelerates bone formation by stimulating the proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells after injury [20]. It is worth exploring if secukinumab could prevent the progression of osteophytes in PsA patients.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Psoriatic arthritis is related with chronic inflammation and progressive radiographic damages, and it in turn lead to disability and loss in function-ability. Recent advance in treatment pathway through anti IL-17 gives promising clinical improvement. Yet, its effect on radiographic progression remains uncertain. This study aimed to ascertain the effect of secukinumab on structural progression in PsA by evaluation through high resolution peripheral quantative computed tomography (HRpqCT).
Detailed description
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease associated with psoriasis. PsA is associated with distinctive clinical features including changes in skin and nails, peripheral arthritis, axial disease, dactylitis and enthesitis. Synovial inflammation in peripheral joints is the most prevalent feature of the disease ranging in severity from mild joint inflammation to disabling peripheral arthritis [1]. Within 2 years of diagnosis, radiological erosions were developed in 47% of the patients [2].

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Secukinumab in people with Psoriatic Arthritis, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Difference in changes in the volume of erosions on metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) 2-4 measured by HR-pQCT at 24 weeks between secukinumab and placebo group (time frame: 24 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03623867, which also lists 20 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Sep 2023.
