DOP53 Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Risankizumab in Patients With Moderate to Severe Crohn's Disease up to 3 Years of Treatment: Results From the FORTIFY Open-Label Long-term Extension
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background The ongoing FORTIFY maintenance open-label extension (OLE) substudy evaluates the long-term efficacy and safety of risankizumab (RZB), a p19 interleukin-23 inhibitor, for treatment of moderate to severe Crohn’s disease (CD). Here, we report 2-year results of FORTIFY OLE. Methods The FORTIFY (NCT03105102) OLE enrolled patients (pts) who completed 52-wks maintenance dosing in the FORTIFY substudies or RZB phase 2 OLE.1,2 All pts received 180 mg subcutaneous (SC) RZB every 8 wks (Q8w), starting at wk56, except for pts who had prior rescue therapy (single 1200mg intravenous [IV] RZB dose then 360mg SC Q8w) who continued 360mg SC Q8w in the OLE. Pts with inadequate response (increased symptoms plus objective marker of inflammation) during the OLE could receive rescue therapy as described above. Pooled data from both treatment groups (RZB 180 mg & 360 mg SC) were assessed. Clinical outcomes were evaluated every 24 wks (endpoint definitions in Figure footnote). Endoscopy was performed every 96 wks. Results are reported as observed. Efficacy data for pts receiving rescue therapy in the OLE were included up to rescue initiation. Safety was assessed through the cutoff date of 05MAR2023. As this trial is ongoing, most patients have not reached the wk152 study visit. Any treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported on or after the first dose in the OLE were analysed. Results As of the cutoff date, 1147 pts entered the OLE, of which 203 (17.6%) pts received rescue therapy during the OLE. Clinical response and remission rates were generally maintained with RZB from wks 56 to 152 (CD activity index [CDAI] clinical response, 85.8% to 86.5%, respectively; enhanced clinical response, 88.6% to 89.2%; CDAI clinical remission, 68.5% to 77.6%; stool frequency/abdominal pain score clinical remission, 64.4% to 71.0%) (Figure). At wks 56 and 152, respectively, rates of endoscopic response were 53.4% and 74.2%, endoscopic remission were 37.5%, and 58.9%, and ulcer-free endoscopy were 31.0% and 50.0%. There were no new trends for exposure-adjusted rates of TEAEs, and rates of adjudicated major cardiovascular adverse events, malignancies, serious infections and hepatic events remained stable with no new safety risks identified. There were no events of active tuberculosis, serious hypersensitivity, or adjudicated anaphylactic reaction. Three deaths occurred during the OLE (see Table footnote), all assessed by investigators as unrelated to study drug. Conclusion Pts receiving long-term RZB maintenance therapy in FORTIFY demonstrated sustained clinical and endoscopic efficacy with at least 3 years of treatment. The safety profile is consistent and supports long-term RZB treatment. 1doi: 10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjab093 2doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(22)00466-4.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
