Abstract
Aim
Evaluate the efficacy and safety ® (olokizumab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in real-world clinical practice, with a targeted assessment of patient report outcomes (PRO) and central sensitization.
Methods
An open-label observational non-interventional study was conducted, enrolling 183 patients with moderate and severe RA activity. All patients received OKZ 64 mg SC as injections every 4 weeks (Q4W) with methotrexate. The patients' follow-up period was 24 weeks or less. RA activity (DAS28-CRP), pain severity (NRS), patient global assessment (PGA, NRS), functional impairment (NRS), fatigue (FACIT-F), central sensitization (central sensitization inventory, CSI), and symptoms of neuropathic pain (PainDETECT) were evaluated.
Results
The study cohort was comprised of 144 patients. And 39 patients were lost to follow-up, refused OKZ treatment, or were not dosed with OKZ for administrative reasons. In 6 months, DAS28-CRP decreased to 3.3 ± 0.9 (p < .001) and statistically significant reductions in pain intensity, PGA, functional impairment, and fatigue were achieved. Pain intensity decreased as early as 2 days after the first OKZ administration (p < .05). The number of patients with CSI >40 in 24 weeks decreased from 71.0% to 21.0% (p < .001), with PainDETECT >18 – from 21.5% to 13.2%. NSAIDs use decreased from 70.8% to 33.8% (р < .001), steroids – from 54.2% to 32.6%. AEs were reported in 14.2% patients, serious events were observed in three patients.
Conclusion
OKZ is effective in reducing RA activity and controlling chronic pain related to dysfunction of the nociceptive system.
