OP10 Efficacy and safety of upadacitinib in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn’s Disease: results from the U-ENDURE long-term extension

Abstract Background Upadacitinib (UPA) is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease (CD).1 The U-ENDURE (NCT03345823) maintenance study and long-term extension (LTE) evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of UPA maintenance therapy. Here, we report the results of the U-ENDURE LTE. Methods Patients (pts) completing the U-ENDURE 52-week (wk) maintenance study were eligible to participate in the LTE and continue their previously assigned treatment (placebo [PBO], UPA 15 mg [UPA15] once daily [QD], or UPA 30 mg [UPA30] QD; blinded until the last pt completed maintenance wk52). Clinical response, clinical remission, endoscopic response, endoscopic remission, as well as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and faecal calprotectin (FCP) were evaluated as-observed up to wk48 of the LTE among pts (PBO [N = 89], UPA15 [N = 107], UPA30 [N = 173]); excluding pts who received open-label UPA30 rescue therapy. Safety was assessed in all pts (PBO [N = 223], UPA15 [N = 221], UPA30 [N = 229]) from wk0 of the maintenance study up to LTE wk204 (cut-off date: 01 Aug 2023). Results At LTE wk0, the SF/APS clinical remission rates were 73.0%, 78.3%, and 80.3% for PBO, UPA15, and UPA30, respectively (Figure 1A). Similar rates were reported at LTE wk0 for CDAI clinical remission (PBO 75.3%, UPA15 81.3%, UPA30 80.9%; Figure 1B) and clinical response (CR-100: PBO 79.5%, UPA15 84.9%, UPA30 84.4%). Rates of clinical remission were stable through wk48 of the LTE. Endoscopic response (PBO 32.9%, UPA15 59.6%, UPA30 66.5%) and remission rates (PBO 27.8%, UPA15 42.4%, UPA30 47.3%) at LTE wk0 were sustained through wk48 with UPA while decreased with PBO (Figure 1C-D). At LTE wk0, the mean [95% CI] change from induction BL in hs-CRP was 1.8 [–0.4, 4.1], –13.2 [–17.9, –8.6], and –12.8 [–16.8, –8.9] for PBO, UPA15, and UPA30, respectively; sustained through wk48. Similar results were observed with FCP (mean [95% CI] change from induction BL: PBO 126 [–103, 356], UPA15 –2946 [–4121, –1772], UPA30 –1871 [–2577, –1165]). Severe adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs were lower with UPA treatment compared with PBO (Table 1). The rates of most AEs of special interest were similar between UPA and PBO; however, numerically higher rates of herpes zoster, adjudicated gastrointestinal perforations, neutropenia, lymphopenia, creatine phosphokinase elevation, and hepatic disorders were reported in pts treated with UPA vs PBO (Table 1). Conclusion In pts completing wk48 of the LTE, sustained efficacy was observed in clinical and endoscopic endpoints with over 2 years of UPA treatment, while maintaining an overall positive safety profile in pts with CD.
