Cimzia® (certolizumab pegol) Data Showed Rapid Improvement in Signs and Symptoms Predicted Better Long-Term Outcomes in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Date:5/10/2011

BRUSSELS, May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- UCB announced today results from a post hoc analysis of the RAPID 1 study published in the Journal of Rheumatology. The results suggest moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with Cimzia® (certolizumab pegol), the only approved PEGylated anti-TNF, together with methotrexate (MTX), achieved a rapid response associated with improved long-term outcomes one year after treatment began.

"These results are consistent with a growing body of clinical evidence that suggest a potential for healthcare professionals to predict clinical success as early as week 12 when treating rheumatoid arthritis patients with certolizumab pegol," said lead investigator Edward Keystone, M.D., The Rebecca MacDonald Center for Arthritis, Mount Sinai Hospital, The University of Toronto. "The data supports the importance of monitoring for a rapid response, in line with recently published EULAR recommendations, and the need to consider treatment adjustments in those patients who have not achieved a clinical response at 12 weeks regardless of their treatment."

Rapid response rates following treatment with certolizumab pegol were achieved across various clinical response measures, including good/moderate EULAR response rates at weeks 6 and 12 (67.4% and 77.6% respectively versus 27.0% and 29.1% for placebo) based on this post hoc analysis. Similarly, ACR20 rates were 51.3% and 63.8% in patients treated with certolizumab pegol versus 18.2% and 18.3% for placebo at week 6 and 12 respectively.

Using the disease activity score, DAS28[ESR] greater than or equal to 1.2 responder definition, a higher proportion of patients treated with certolizumab pegol (75.8%) responded at week 12 compared to placebo (27.5%). Results suggest that a higher proportion of patients treated with certolizumab pegol who responded at week 12, achieved DAS28 low disease activity (LDA) at 52 weeks compared with patients who did not (37
