Spondyloarthritis & psoriatic arthritis

Patient clusters identified by machine learning from a pooled analysis of the clinical development programme of secukinumab in psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis with axial manifestations

Clin Exp RheumatolPublished Pooled analysis of ten phase III trials with machine-learning cluster analysis

Authors' conclusion

PsA clusters obtained by ML in pooled dataset indicate phenotypical heterogeneity of patients with PsA and axial manifestations and overlapping features across the spondyloarthritis spectrum.

Study context

Population
Secukinumab-treated patients from ten phase III studies in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) (FUTURE 1–5, MAXIMISE) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (MEASURE 1–4)
Participants
3,907 patients10 phase III studies
Comparison
Secukinumab 300 mg vs 150 mg across patient clusters
Outcome
Patient clusters based on baseline demographics and clinical indicators
Follow-up

Pooled result

As reported in the abstract

Patient clusters by machine learning (ML)

Eight distinct clusters identified

8

Further pooled results

Longitudinal response, secukinumab 300 mg vs 150 mg, by cluster

Improvements with 300 mg vs 150 mg in clusters 6 and 8 for tender joint counts
Improvements with 300 mg vs 150 mg in cluster 7 for swollen joint counts
