- Abstract
- BackgroundResponse prediction of certain biologic agents for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains an unmet need in real-world clinical practice. The contribution of patient-reported components to the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) was termed DAS28-P and investigated as a predictor of response to biologic agents, mostly tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. We aimed to evaluate DAS28-P as a predictor of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response to abatacept in patients with RA.MethodsThe study population was a prospective, observational, multicenter cohort of Korean patients with RA, who were followed up for a nationwide post-marketing surveillance study of abatacept. Correlation of DAS28-P with DAS28, change of DAS28, and EULAR response groups were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was used to predict good-to-moderate EULAR response to abatacept in the study population.ResultsA total of 341 patients were involved in the analysis stratified on the EULAR response criteria. Presence of comorbidities, previous exposure to biologic agents, baseline DAS28, three of its components (tender joint counts, global health visual analog scale, erythrocyte sedimentation rate), and baseline DAS28-P were significantly associated with EULAR response to abatacept at 6months. Stratified upon EULAR response, a group with good-to-moderate response had a higher baseline value and lower interval change for DAS28-P. Logistic regression analysis showed that a DAS28-P cut-off of>0.44 was more positively associated with good-to-moderate EULAR response with abatacept treatment than naivety to biologic agents.ConclusionsThe DAS28-P could be predictive of response to abatacept. A higher baseline DAS28-P is associated with a favorable therapeutic response to abatacept.Trial registrationTrial name, Korean Post-marketing Surveillance for Orencia((R)).
