P849 Bayesian network meta-analysis of the efficacy of advanced therapies for patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis naïve to advanced therapy

Abstract Background Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)1,4,5 receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). In the absence of head-to-head randomised controlled trials (RCTs), network meta-analyses (NMA) offer insight into the comparative effectiveness of treatment options. NMA were conducted to examine the relative efficacy of etrasimod vs other advanced therapies (AT) with licensed dosing (European Medicines Agency) for the treatment of UC in patients naïve to biologic agents and/or Janus kinase inhibitors. Methods A systematic literature review (SLR) was performed on 15 November 2022, and covered all available records without time limit, using NICE DSU and PRISMA guidelines. NMA were conducted under a Bayesian framework, and a multinomial fixed-effect approach was used to model outcomes, clinical response and clinical remission, in the induction phase and among induction phase responders in the maintenance phase, in patients naïve to AT. Reported outcomes from trials with a treat-through design, such as ELEVATE UC 52, were recalculated to mimic those of a responder re-randomisation design; only responders in the induction phase were analysed in the maintenance phase. Data are presented as median relative risk (RR) of the treatment vs its comparator, along with corresponding 95% credible intervals (CrI). Prespecified sensitivity analyses were performed. Results Of 81 studies identified from the SLR, 21 and 11 RCTs were included in the induction and maintenance networks, respectively. For induction and maintenance phases, all therapies demonstrated benefit over placebo, consistent with phase 3 clinical trial data. In the NMA for clinical remission in the induction phase, etrasimod 2 mg had a statistically significant benefit over adalimumab 80/40 mg and 160/80 mg (RR [95% CrI] for treatment vs etrasimod 0.49 [0.29–0.78] and 0.67 [0.50–0.92], respectively), filgotinib 100 mg (0.55 [0.37–0.84]) and placebo; conversely, upadacitinib 45 mg had statistically significant benefit vs etrasimod (1.47 [1.07–2.03]; Table). There were no statistically significant differences for etrasimod vs other comparators. Similar results were observed for clinical response. In the maintenance phase, there were no statistically significant differences between etrasimod 2 mg and other treatments for clinical remission and clinical response (Table). Conclusion With respect to clinical remission and clinical response during induction and maintenance phases, etrasimod efficacy was similar to most comparators as a first-line AT. Differences in trial design and risk-benefit profiles of AT should be considered when interpreting NMA results.
