PG - 2747-2756 LID - 10.1007/s10067-019-04608-z [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of interleukin 17 (IL-17) inhibitors in two rheumatoid arthritis (RA) populations: biologic-naive or tumor necrosis factor inhibitor inadequate responders (TNF-IR). METHOD: A systematic search was performed in major electronic databases to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting the American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20), ACR50, ACR70 responses and adverse events (AEs) of IL-17 inhibitors versus placebo in patients with RA. We divided these patients into two subgroups: biologic-naive or TNF-IR. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 software. Results were expressed as risk ratio (RR) with pertinent 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS: Ten studies with a total of 2499 patients were included. For biologic-naive patients, ACR50 and ACR70 responses were significantly better with IL-17 inhibitors than placebo (RR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.23-2.38, P = 0.001 and RR = 2.63, 95% CI 1.10-6.25, P = 0.03, respectively), but ACR20 responses for IL-17 inhibitors were not statistically superior to placebo (RR = 1.34, 95% CI 0.94-1.91, P = 0.11). For TNF-IR, IL-17 inhibitors were effective in achieving ACR20 (RR = 1.67, 95% CI 1.40-2.00, P < 0.00001), ACR50 (RR = 1.94, 95% CI 1.43-2.63, P < 0.0001), and ACR70 (RR = 2.11, 95% CI 1.26-3.55, P = 0.005) compared to placebo. In the safety analysis, IL-17 inhibitors did not show increased risk of any AEs by comparing to placebo in both biologic-naive patients and TNF-IR. CONCLUSION: IL-17 inhibitors were effective in the treatment of RA without increased risk of AEs, whether for biologic-naive patients or TNF-IR. Key Points * In this meta-analysis comparing IL-17 inhibitors with placebo in 2499 rheumatoid arthritis patients, IL-17 inhibitors improved ACR50 and ACR70, but not ACR20, responses in biologic-naive patients. * IL-17 inhibitors improved ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses in tumor necrosis factor inhibitor inadequate responders.
