PG - 460-471 LID - 10.1093/mr/roac073 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: To report 24-week safety and effectiveness of certolizumab pegol (CZP) in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis from a post-marketing surveillance study. METHODS: Enrolled patients were newly receiving CZP. All adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were recorded for patients who received >/=1 CZP dose. Effectiveness outcomes included: 28-joint Disease Activity Score with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) response. Missing data were imputed using the last observation carried forward. RESULTS: 3727 patients were enrolled; safety and effectiveness were evaluated in 3586 and 1794 patients, respectively. 24.9% of patients reported AEs (893/3586), 14.7% reported ADRs (528/3586), 8.3% (298/3586) reported serious AEs and 5.3% (190/3586) reported serious ADRs. Selected serious ADRs of interest: infections (110; 3.1%), tuberculosis (6; 0.2%), interstitial pneumonia (15; 0.4%), malignancy (8; 0.2%), and hepatic function disorder (7; 0.2%). No allergic reactions, autoimmune disease, cardiac failure, demyelinating diseases, or pancytopenia were reported. Mean DAS28-ESR reduced from 4.8 (baseline) to 3.4 (final evaluation). At final evaluation, 34.7% of patients achieved EULAR good response. CONCLUSIONS: These real-world safety and effectiveness results were consistent with previously reported data, with no new safety signals identified. Long-term, real-world CZP safety and effectiveness data are needed. CI - (c) Japan College of Rheumatology 2022. Published by Oxford University Press.
