Disclosures

• Dr. Giles is a consultant for Lilly, Genentech, Horizon, BMS, UCB, Ironwood, and Abbvie. He also provided grant research for Pfizer.

• Several of the therapies reviewed in this presentation may involve off-label use of medications.

Learning Objectives

• Assess the pathophysiologic differences and similarities between PsA and RA

• Review current guidelines for RA and PsA to drive management decisions and treatment choice

• Review the current pharmacotherapeutic strategies for managing PsA and RA in the rheumatology clinic

• Discuss patient-centric strategies for managing PsA and RA, with a focus on joint preservation, quality of life, and enhanced communication

Psoriatic Arthritis: Pathophysiology and Diagnosis

Psoriatic Arthritis: Timing

• Usually skin changes/PsO before arthritis (70%)1

• Subset with skin and joints concurrently (15%)1

• Subset with inflammatory joint symptoms prior to skin changes (15%)1

• Typical lag time of 7–12 years from the onset of psoriasis to diagnosis of PsA1,2

Audience Response Question

The presence of psoriasis in which of the following areas would be the best predictor of psoriatic arthritis?

A. ScalpB. HandsC. Back/trunkD. Elbows/knees

Predictors of PsA

• Psoriasis at certain body sites– Scalp

– Intergluteal areas (‘inverse/intertriginous’ psoriasis)

• Psoriatic nail lesions– Onycholysis

– Nail pitting

• Younger age of psoriasis onset

• Greater BSA involvement of psoriasis

• Family history of psoriatic arthritis

• All studies had limitations. – Case-control studies, recall bias,

possible misclassification bias (OA)

Video 1: PsA Pathophysiology

Examples of Tools Measuring PsA

• Peripheral joints– ACR joint count (TJC, SJC, VAS pain, PtGA,

PGA, HAQ, CRP or ESR)

– PsARC

– DAS

• Spine/axial– BASDAI

– ASAS-N

• Enthesitis– MASES index (Maastricht Ankylosing

Spondylitis Enthesitis Score)– Leeds Enthesitis Index

• Dactylitis– Leeds Dactylitis Index

• QoL– SF36

– PsAQoL– HAQ

– Fatigue: FACIT-F

– Work/WPAI– PsAID

– RAPID3, PtGA of arthritis, etc.

TJC = tender joint count; SJC = swollen joint count; VAS = Visual Analogue Scale; PtGA = patient global assessment of disease activity; PGA = Patient Global disease Activity; HAQ = Health Assessment Questionnaire; PsARC = PsA response criteria; BASDAI = Bath Ankylosing Disease Activity Index; ASAS = Assessment in AS (ankylosing spondylitis); LEI = Leeds Enthesitis Index; LDI = Leeds Dactylitis Index; QoL = quality of life; SF36 = short-form (health survey); FACIT = Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue; WPAI = Working Productivity and Activity Impairment; PsAID = PsA Impact of Disease.

increase retention of TNFαI drugs (MTX)

NEGATIVES• Lack of high-quality data• Suboptimal dosing• Not disease modifying

Audience Response Question

In RA, the primary target for treatment should be which of the following?

A. Eventual cessation of medicationB. Clinical remissionC. Use of therapyD. Pain relief

The Principles of Treating to Target

• Treating to target (T2T) by measuring disease activity and adjusting therapy accordingly will result in better patient outcomes.

• The primary target for treatment should be clinical remission, defined as the absence of signs and symptoms of significant inflammatory disease activity.

• In some cases, low disease activity (LDA) may be an acceptable treatment goal, particularly in patients with long-standing established disease.

Smolen JS et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2010;69:631-637.

• Change MOA– REFLEX (rituximab + MTX superior to MTX)5

– RADIATE (TCZ + MTX superior to MTX)6

– ATTAIN (ABA superior to PBO)7

– ORAL Step (TFA + MTX superior to MTX)8

– BEACON (BARI superior to PBO)9

2015 ACR/2016 EULAR GuidelinesKey Principles

• Perform disease activity measurements and functional assessments frequently.

• Simplification of therapy in patients with LDA or remission at the physician’s discretion

• Arbitrary switching based on payer/insurance is not recommended.

• Patients at risk of persistent arthritis should start DMARDs within 3 months, even if classification criteria are not fulfilled.

• Oral GCs can be added at the lowest effective dose and tapered.

• Aim for remission within 3 months.

• Maximize non-pharmacologic interventions (eg, PT/OT, smoking cessation, dental care, weight control, vaccination updates) patient education.

Singh JA et al. Arthritis Rheumatol. 2016;68:1-26. (Also published in Arthritis Care Res [Hoboken]. 2016;68:1-25.). Combe B et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2017;76:948-959.

Patient Satisfaction

30

Patient Satisfaction

• Patient satisfaction is seldom studied or incorporated into practice guidelines.

• Studies rely on clinician-centered measures to determine treatment adequacy.

• Patient satisfaction remains an important consideration, correlated with: – Patient adherence to therapy – Treatment outcomes

• Satisfaction contributes to responses in HRQoL indices (eg, DLQI, etc.)

Mercy KM et al. JAMA. 2014;312:2676-2677.

HRQoL = health-related QoL; DLQI = Dermatology Life Quality Index.

PsA and Quality of Life

Alten R, et al. Clin Rheumatol. 2019; Article in Press.

• Patients failing immunomodulator therapies had poorer HRQoL vs treatment success:

– SF-36 – EQ-5D-3L – MCS

• Also impaired:– Physical functioning– Activity– Work productivity

• PsA comorbidities include:– Diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases,

osteoporosis, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune eye disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, depression, and fibromyalgia

• RA comorbidities include:– Myocardial infarction, angina, CVD, osteoporosis, pulmonary TB, asthma,

thyroid disease, depression, hepatitis and certain cancers

• Comorbidities impact patient care, management, treatment decisions, quality of life, and mortality.

• Recognize and monitor comorbidities• Understand their effect on patient management to ensure an

optimal outcomes

Communication in Practice

• Maintain patient motivation and engagement in care.

• Understand/explore reasons for declines in adherence.

• Set up realistic expectations.

• Take a health-literate approach to prescribing and educating patients.

Building a trusting one-on-one relationship with the patientis essential for long-term management.
