Absence of Pericarditis Recurrence in Rilonacept-Treated Patients With COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination: Results From the RHAPSODY Long-term Extension
Background
Rilonacept inhibits the interleukin-1 pathway, and extended treatment in patients with recurrent pericarditis (RP) reduced recurrence risk by 98% in the phase 3 trial, RHAPSODY long-term extension (LTE). Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 vaccination and/or infection may trigger pericarditis recurrence, and in clinical practice, it is unknown whether to continue rilonacept during SARS-CoV-2 infection. This post-hoc analysis of the RHAPSODY LTE aimed to inform rilonacept management in RP patients vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 or who contract COVID-19.
Methods
Analysis was conducted from May 2020 to June 2022. The LTE portion of RHAPSODY LTE enabled up to 24 months of additional open-label rilonacept treatment beyond the pivotal study. Rilonacept efficacy data in preventing pericarditis recurrence were assessed, and concomitant SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and COVID-19 adverse event data were evaluated.
Results
No pericarditis recurrences were temporally associated with vaccination. Sixteen COVID-19 cases were reported; 10 in 30 unvaccinated or partially vaccinated patients (33%) vs 6 of 44 fully vaccinated patients (14%; P = 0.04). Twelve of 16 patients (75%) were receiving rilonacept at the time of infection, and none experienced pericarditis recurrence. One pericarditis recurrence occurred in the peri-COVID-19 period in 1 of 4 patients who had stopped rilonacept treatment > 4.5 months prior. COVID-19 severity was mild in 13 patients, moderate in 2, and severe in 1.
Conclusions
Full vaccination effectively reduced COVID-19 events in patients treated with rilonacept. Vaccination or COVID-19 during rilonacept treatment did not increase pericarditis recurrence. Continued rilonacept treatment in patients contracting COVID-19 did not worsen disease severity, whereas rilonacept interruption increased pericarditis recurrence, supporting a recommendation for continued rilonacept treatment for RP during vaccination or COVID-19.
