Long-term safety of Ixekizumab in adults with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, or axial spondyloarthritis: a post-hoc analysis of final safety data from 25 randomized clinical trials
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: We report long-term, end-of-study program safety outcomes from 25 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in adult patients with psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) [including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA)] who received ≥ 1 dose of Ixekizumab (IXE) over 5 years (PsO) or up to 3 years (PsA, axSpA). METHODS: This integrated safety analysis consists of data from patients who received any dose of IXE, across 25 RCTs (17 PsO, 4 PsA, 4 axSpA). Rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and selected adverse events (AEs) of interest were analyzed for all pooled studies by years of therapy and overall, through March 2022. Results were reported as exposure-adjusted incidence rates (IRs) per 100 patient-years (PY) overall and at successive year intervals. RESULTS: Six thousand eight hundred ninety two adult patients with PsO, 1401 with PsA, and 932 with axSpA (including AS and nr-axSpA), with a cumulative IXE exposure of 22,371.1 PY were included. The most commonly reported TEAE across indications was nasopharyngitis (IRs per 100 PY: 8.8 (PsO), 9.0 (PsA), 8.4 (axSpA)). SAEs were reported by 969 patients with PsO (IR 5.4), 134 patients with PsA (IR 6.0), and 101 patients with axSpA (IR 4.8). Forty-five deaths were reported (PsO, n = 36, IR 0.2; PsA, n = 6, IR 0.3; axSpA, n = 3, IR 0.1). TEAEs did not increase during IXE exposure: IRs per 100 PY, PsO: 88.9 to 63.2 (year 0-1 to 4-5), PsA: 87 to 67.3 (year 0-1 to 2-3), axSpA: 82.1 to 55.4 (year 0-1 to > = 2). IRs per 100 PY of discontinuation from IXE due to AE were 2.9 (PsO), 5.1 (PsA), and 3.1 (axSpA). IRs per 100 PY of injection site reactions were 5.9 (PsO), 11.6 (PsA) and 7.4 (axSpA); Candida: 1.9 (PsO), 2.0 (PsA), and 1.2 (axSpA); depression, major adverse cerebro-cardiovascular events and malignancies: ≤ 1.6 across all indications. Adjudicated IRs per 100 PY of inflammatory bowel disease were ≤ 0.8 across indications (0.1 [PsO]; 0.1 [PsA]; 0.8 [axSpA]). CONCLUSIONS: In this integrated safety analysis, consisting of over 22,000 PY of exposure, the long-term safety profile of IXE was found to be consistent with previous, earlier reports, with no new safety signals identified. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT registration numbers for RCTs included in this integrated analysis can be found in Additional File 1.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
