| Resum: |
This safety analysis investigates treatment-emergent mucosal/cutaneous Candida infections in patients treated with ixekizumab (IXE), an anti-interleukin-17A monoclonal antibody, across the approved indications: psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Safety data were pooled from 25 clinical studies. Incidence rates (IRs) are expressed as per 100 patient-years (PY), using the entire duration of exposure. Candida infections had an IR of 1. 9 per 100 PY in patients with PsO (N = 6892; total PY = 18025. 7), 2. 0 per 100 PY in patients with PsA (N = 1401; total PY = 2247. 7), and 1. 2 per 100 PY in patients with axSpA (N = 932; total PY = 2097. 7). The majority of treatment-emergent Candida infections were: (i) experienced only once by patients (IR = 1. 3;IR = 1. 6;IR = 1. 0), (ii) mild/moderate in severity (IR = 0. 8/0. 9;IR = 1. 5/0. 4;IR = 0. 8/0. 5) as opposed to severe (IR = 0. 0; IR = 0. 0; IR = 0. 0), (iii) oral Candida or genital Candida (IR = 0. 9/0. 6;IR = 1. 0/0. 7;IR = 0. 4/0. 6), (iv) marked as recovered/resolved during the studies (89. 3%;93. 8%;90. 3%), (v) not leading to IXE discontinuation (0. 0%;0. 0%;0. 1% discontinued), (vi) managed with topical (34. 7%;22. 2%;11. 5%) or no anti-fungal medications (63. 5%;77. 8%;80. 8%) as opposed to systemic therapies (1. 5%;0. 0%;7. 7%), (vii) typically resolved before next visit. This integrated safety analysis shows that the risk of developing Candida infections is low with IXE, and the severity is mild-to-moderate in most instances across the approved IXE indications. A comprehensive list of the clinical trials and their registration numbers is reported in Table S1 of the supplemental material. |
