Abstract
Background Periodic Fever Syndromes (PFS) are rare autoinflammatory conditions including Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), Hyper-IgD Syndrome/ Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (HIDS/MKD), and TNF-Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS).1 It has been shown that colchicine-resistant FMF (crFMF), HIDS/MKD and TRAPS considerably impact physical and emotional aspects of patients' lives.2–4 Open label studies suggested that canakinumab (CAN), a fully human and highly specific anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody, is efficacious in crFMF, HIDS/MKD and TRAPS.5–7 To date, there is no data showing the effect of CAN on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in PFS patients.
Objectives To evaluate the effect of CAN on HRQoL using Child Health Questionnaire – Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF50) and SF-12 Health Survey (SF-12) in PFS patients.
Methods In a Phase 3 randomised placebo controlled study of CAN in PFS (NCT02059291), SF-12 Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) were assessed in adults. For children (>5–<18 years), CHQ-PF50 Physical (PhS) and Psychosocial (PsS) Summary scores were assessed.
Results 181 patients were randomised to CAN or placebo in 3 cohorts (63 crFMF, 72 MKD/HIDS, 46 TRAPS). 71 adults ≥18 years and 110 children (age range ≥2–<18 years). Patients reported early clinically meaningful improvement in SF-12 PCS scores reported at Week (Wk) 5 which were sustained and increased to a large effect size by Wk 16 for all indications (Table). Similarly, clinically meaningful improvements in SF-12 MCS, CHQ-PF50 PhS and PsS was observed in all indications, with the exception of PsS in HIDS/MKD and TRAPS patients (Table).
Conclusions Canakinumab showed rapid improvement by Week 5 in patient reported outcomes in adults and children with PFS, which was sustained through Week 16.
