Total patients who flared and were switched to OL IXE retreatment | Continuous IXE (N=13) | |
ASDAS disease activity status | LDA | ID |
Recaptured response before OL IXE retreatment, n | 7 | 1 |
Recaptured response with OL IXE retreatment (≤16 weeks), n | 2 | 3 |
Recaptured response with OL IXE retreatment (>16 weeks), n | 3 | 1 |
Total patients who recaptured response by week 104, n (%) | 12/13 (92) | 5/13 (38) |
In each column, the denominator is 13. Only one patient met the criteria for flare and was not retreated. Six patients had achieved ASDAS ID and seven patients achieved ASDAS LDA before flare and OL IXE retreatment.
ASDAS, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score; ID, inactive disease; IXE, ixekizumab; LDA, low disease activity including ID; N, number of patients in the analysis population; OL, open-label.
