    Abstract Background & aims: Studies have described prominent histologic improvement in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) using thiazolidinedione (TZD); however, these were all short term with moderate sample size, no liver-related long-term outcomes could be noted.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2013. We matched TZD users and nonusers at a 1:1 ratio through propensity score matching. This study included 5095 paired TZD users and nonusers. Cox proportional hazard models were used to compare the risks of cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, hepatic failure and all-cause mortality between TZD users and nonusers. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the cumulative incidence of these main outcomes.
    Results: The incidence rates of cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, hepatic failure and all-cause mortality during follow-up were 0.77 vs 1.95, 1.43 vs 1.75, 0.36 vs 0.70, and 4.89 vs 3.78 per 1000 person-years between TZD users and nonusers. The adjusted hazard ratios of cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, hepatic failure and all-cause mortality were 0.39 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.21-0.72), 0.86 (95% CI: 0.52-1.44), 0.46 (95% CI: 0.18-1.17) and 1.18 (95% CI: 0.87-1.61) respectively.
    Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that TZD use could significantly lower the risk of cirrhosis. In clinical settings, TZD use might be able to improve liver-related long-term outcomes.

    Abstract: Aim: To evaluate efficacy and safety of secukinumab in Asian patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) via a pooled subgroup analysis from two phase 3 studies, MEASURE 1 (NCT01358175) and MEASURE 2 (NCT01649375).: Methods: In MEASURE 1, ... ...

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate efficacy and safety of secukinumab in Asian patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) via a pooled subgroup analysis from two phase 3 studies, MEASURE 1 (NCT01358175) and MEASURE 2 (NCT01649375).
    Methods: In MEASURE 1, patients were randomized to intravenous secukinumab 10 mg/kg or placebo at baseline, Weeks 2 and 4, followed by subcutaneous (s.c.) secukinumab 150 mg, 75 mg or placebo every 4 weeks (q4w) at Week 8. In MEASURE 2, patients were randomized to s.c. secukinumab 150 mg, 75 mg or placebo at baseline, Weeks 1, 2 and 3, and q4w starting at Week 4. Efficacy outcomes were SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) 20/40, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), ASAS5/6, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, Short Form-36 physical component summary, AS quality of life (QoL), ASAS partial remission, and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score - CRP at Weeks 16 and 52. Due to lack of efficacy, the secukinumab 75 mg dose in MEASURE 2 was excluded from this pooled Asian subgroup analysis. Safety analysis included patients who received ≥ 1 dose of study treatment.
    Results: Of 517 patients enrolled into the MEASURE studies, 69 (13.3%) were Asians: 46 in pooled secukinumab and 23 in placebo. At Week 16, ASAS20/40 responses in Asian patients were 69.6%/43.5% with pooled secukinumab versus 26.1%/17.4% with placebo, which were comparable with rates reported in the overall study population. Secukinumab improved predefined efficacy endpoints at Week 16, with responses sustained through Week 52. Secukinumab was well tolerated in Asian patients, with a safety profile consistent with that reported in the overall study population.
    Conclusion: Secukinumab improved signs and symptoms, physical function, and disease-specific QoL in Asian patients with active AS.

    Abstract Objectives: Secukinumab, a fully human anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody, provided rapid and sustained improvements in signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) over 2 years in the Phase 3 MEASURE 1 trial. Here, we report efficacy and safety after 3 years of treatment.
    Methods: AS subjects completing 2 years of treatment every 4 weeks with subcutaneous secukinumab 150 or 75 mg (following intravenous loading or initial placebo treatment to 16/24 weeks) entered a separate 3-year extension study (NCT01863732). Assessments included ASAS20/40, ASAS5/6, BASDAI, BASDAI 50, BASFI, BASMI, SF-36 physical component summary, ASAS partial remission and ASDAS-CRP. Results were also analysed by prior anti-TNF treatment status.
    Results: Among 290 subjects completing the core trial, 274 entered the extension study, with 260 subjects (94.9%) completing 156 weeks of treatment. ASAS20/40 response (observed) was 80.2%/61.6% in the IV→150 mg group and 75.5%/50.0% in the IV→75 mg group after 156 weeks. Sustained improvements were also seen in BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI and across all other endpoints regardless of previous exposure to anti-TNF agents. Mean secukinumab exposure was 964.3 days (137.8 weeks). Discontinuation rates were low, and secukinumab had a favourable safety profile, consistent with previous reports. Exposure-adjusted incidence rates for serious infections, Candida infections, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, malignant/unspecified tumours, and adjudicated major adverse cardiac events were 1.1, 0.4, 0.5, 0.1, 0.5 and 0.7 per 100 subject-years, respectively.
    Conclusions: Secukinumab provided sustained efficacy in signs, symptoms and physical function in subjects with AS over 3 years. No new safety signals were observed.

    Abstract Background: Tofacitinib is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily monotherapy after methotrexate withdrawal.
    Methods: OPAL Balance was an open-label, long-term extension study of tofacitinib in patients with psoriatic arthritis who participated in the OPAL Broaden and OPAL Beyond phase 3 studies. This 12-month, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, methotrexate withdrawal substudy (50 centres, 14 countries) included patients from OPAL Balance who completed tofacitinib treatment for 24 months or more (≥3 months' stable tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily) and were receiving methotrexate (7·5-20 mg/week). Patients were blindly randomised (1:1) using interactive response technology and received open-label tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily with either placebo (tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily plus placebo group) or continued methotrexate (tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily plus methotrexate group). Patients were masked to placebo or methotrexate, with identical capsules used. Coprimary endpoints were changes from substudy baseline in psoriatic arthritis disease activity score (PASDAS) and health assessment questionnaire-disability index (HAQ-DI) at month 6 in all randomised patients with one or more substudy drug dose. Safety was assessed throughout. No specific statistical hypothesis (either superiority or non-inferiority) was tested. The study (OPAL Balance) is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01976364) and is complete.
    Findings: Between Oct 30, 2017, and May 20, 2019, 180 patients from OPAL Balance who were eligible for the substudy were randomly assigned to treatment (90 patients received tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily plus placebo and 89 patients assigned to tofacitinib plus methotrexate; one patient was not treated because of randomisation error). At month 6, least squares mean (LSM) changes in PASDAS were 0·23 (SE 0·08) for tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily plus placebo and 0·14 (0·08) for tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily plus methotrexate (treatment difference LSM 0·09 [95% CI -0·13 to 0·31]), and changes in HAQ-DI were 0·04 (0·03) and 0·02 (0·03), respectively (treatment difference 0·03 [-0·05 to 0·10]). Rates of adverse events, discontinuations because of adverse events, adverse events of special interest, and laboratory changes were generally similar between treatment groups, although liver enzyme elevations were more common with tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily plus methotrexate than tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily plus placebo. Flares of worsening symptoms was reported in one (1%) of 90 patients in the tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily plus placebo group (recorded as psoriatic arthropathy).
    Interpretation: Some patients with psoriatic arthritis who are stable on tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily with background methotrexate might be able to discontinue methotrexate without clinically meaningful changes in disease activity and safety.
