OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of withdrawing ixekizumab in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in whom minimal disease activity (MDA) has been achieved after open-label ixekizumab treatment.

METHODS: SPIRIT-P3 was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind withdrawal study of biologic treatment-naive adult patients with PsA who were treated with open-label ixekizumab for 36 weeks (160 mg at week 0, then 80 mg every 2 weeks). Patients in whom MDA was sustained for >3 consecutive months were randomized 1:1, between weeks 36 and 64, to undergo blinded withdrawal of ixekizumab treatment (placebo) or to continue ixekizumab treatment every 2 weeks up to week 104. The primary efficacy end point was time to relapse (loss of MDA) for randomized patients. Patients who experienced a relapse were re-treated with ixekizumab every 2 weeks up to week 104.

RESULTS: A total of 394 patients were enrolled and received open-label ixekizumab every 2 weeks. Of those patients, 158 (40%) achieved sustained MDA and were randomized to undergo withdrawal of ixekizumab treatment (placebo every 2 weeks; n = 79) or to continue ixekizumab treatment every 2 weeks (n = 79). Disease relapse occurred more rapidly with treatment withdrawal (median 22.3 weeks [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 16.1-28.3]) compared to those who continued treatment with ixekizumab (median not estimable; P < 0.0001). Sixty-seven patients (85%) compared to 30 patients (38%) experienced relapse in the placebo group and the continued treatment group, respectively. Median time to achieving MDA again with re-treatment was 4.1 weeks (95% CI 4.1-4.3); in 64 of 67 patients (96%) who experienced relapse with treatment withdrawal, MDA was achieved again with re-treatment. Safety was consistent with the known safety profile for ixekizumab.

CONCLUSION: Continued ixekizumab therapy is superior to ixekizumab withdrawal in maintaining low disease activity in biologic treatment-naive patients with PsA. Re-treatment with ixekizumab following a relapse may restore disease control in cases of treatment interruption.
