Abstract
Background and Objective
Patient perspectives regarding treatment experience and satisfaction may be useful for clinicians when making treatment strategies. This US-based study assessed the feasibility of evaluating real-world, patient-reported narratives regarding symptom improvement and treatment satisfaction among patients with psoriatic arthritis treated with secukinumab.
Methods
A cross-sectional, web-based survey collected data on demographics, disease characteristics, symptoms before and after secukinumab use, and treatment satisfaction with secukinumab.
Results
Of 2755 patients screened, 200 patients with psoriatic arthritis were eligible and included in the analysis. Their mean age was 36.0 (standard deviation, 10.0) years; 55.5% were male and 75.0% were white. Most (87.5%) were biologic experienced; the primary reason for discontinuation of their previous treatment was lack of effectiveness (28.6%). Most patients (79.9%) reported overall psoriatic arthritis symptom improvement after secukinumab initiation compared with before secukinumab initiation; a similar trend was observed for all individual symptoms evaluated. Approximately half of patients reported improvement within 4 weeks after starting secukinumab treatment, and > 90% reported improvement within 6 months. Most patients (≥ 96%) expressed overall satisfaction with secukinumab regarding symptom improvement, speed of symptom improvement, frequency of administration, method of administration, ease of use, patient support services, and side effects, if any.
Conclusions
Patient-reported perspectives may be feasibly collected to provide insights into treatment experience and satisfaction of secukinumab. Most patients with psoriatic arthritis in our real-world study experienced symptom improvement after initiating secukinumab; > 50% of patients reported symptom improvement within 4 weeks. Additionally, almost all patients reported satisfaction with secukinumab treatment.

1 Introduction
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and musculoskeletal system [1], with an estimated prevalence of 0.25% in the USA [2]. Clinically, the disease is heterogenous, with both articular and extra-articular manifestations, which can complicate treatment. Psoriatic arthritis is frequently associated with psoriasis; up to 30% of patients with psoriasis—approximately 0.3–1.0% of the global population—may have a concurrent diagnosis of PsA [1, 3,4,5]. The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis recognizes six clinical domains of PsA: peripheral disease, axial disease, enthesitis, dactylitis, skin disease, and nail disease; treatment guidelines recommend strategies that improve disease activity in all domains [6]. A better understanding of the roles of cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 in the pathogenesis of PsA and the research of treatments with new mechanisms of action such as IL-17 and IL-23 antagonists have led to the availability of newer therapeutic options that have improved patient outcomes.
Secukinumab, a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to and neutralizes IL-17A, is a biologic approved in the USA for the treatment of psoriasis, PsA, and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) [7]. Secukinumab has demonstrated efficacy in the clinical domains of PsA [8,9,10]; the treatment of patients with PsA with secukinumab in phase III studies led to significantly greater improvements in American College of Rheumatology response criteria, skin and nail psoriasis, enthesitis, dactylitis, physical functioning, and quality of life, and a greater inhibition of radiographic structural progression [7, 11,12,13]. Response rates to secukinumab were sustained for up to 5 years of treatment in PsA [14], demonstrating a consistent long-term efficacy and safety profile. Taken together, secukinumab improves multiple domains of PsA and inhibits the progression of joint structural damage, thus enabling patients to better perform their daily activities.
There is limited evidence regarding the impact of secukinumab treatment in patients with PsA in real-world settings. Additionally, treatment satisfaction is not usually assessed in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The consideration of patient perspectives on treatment outcomes is important to assess the effectiveness of the treatment in the real world [15]. In this exploratory study, we sought to determine the feasibility of collecting and evaluating real-world patient accounts of PsA treatment experience.
2 Methods
2.1 Study Design and Population
Patient data were compiled from a cross-sectional web-based survey in the USA. Patients with PsA or AS from patient panels hosted by Survey Sampling International were invited by e-mail, at random, to take part in the online survey. Eligibility criteria included the ability to read and sign informed consent, age ≥ 18 years with a self-reported diagnosis of active PsA, initiation of secukinumab ≥ 3 months before survey participation and receipt of the drug continuously since initiation, and willingness to complete the online survey; self-reported eligibility was first confirmed upon completion of a screener module prior to the full survey. A separate survey for AS was administered to patients meeting the eligibility criteria for AS; results from the AS analysis are reported elsewhere [16]. The invitation for survey participation included a unique survey link, embedded password for access to the patient survey, and a unique random user identification number to ensure that each eligible participant completed the questionnaire only once. No personal identifiers were stored with the survey responses. Informed consent was obtained electronically from eligible patients interested in participating in the PsA survey. Thus, the study was exempt from institutional review board approval.
The survey questionnaire was developed under the guidance of a rheumatologist in clinical practice (first author) and a patient with PsA (second author). Their real-world experience provided insight into PsA symptoms and the associated impact of those symptoms that resonate most with patients. Their input facilitated the development of a questionnaire that allowed patients to describe their experience in a meaningful manner. Data collected included demographics, clinical characteristics, medication history (taken over the past 12 months and immediately before initiation of secukinumab), PsA symptoms (including joint pain or tenderness, pain disrupting sleep, swelling of entire fingers or toes [indicating dactylitis], fatigue, morning stiffness, soreness in areas other than the joints, and ankle and heel pain [indicating enthesitis]), and patient treatment satisfaction with secukinumab. Patient-reported disease activity and functional status at the time of survey participation were measured by the Multi-Dimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire. The Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3), which measures function, pain, and patient global estimate of status, is part of the Multi-Dimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire metric and is reported in this study. RAPID3 is scored from 0 to 10; a higher score indicates greater severity of disease [17]. A copy of the questionnaire is provided as Electronic Supplementary Material.
Patients were asked about the aforementioned symptoms before and after secukinumab treatment for PsA and the time to symptom improvement. They were also assessed on their satisfaction with secukinumab treatment with regard to symptom improvement, speed of symptom improvement, frequency of treatment, method of administration, ease of use, side effects, and patient support services. Patients denoted if they were “very satisfied,” “mostly satisfied,” “somewhat satisfied,” or “not satisfied” with these factors; patients were considered satisfied if they indicated “very,” “mostly,” or “somewhat satisfied.”
2.2 Data Analysis
Patient demographics, self-reported disease severity, treatment history, PsA symptoms, and treatment satisfaction were descriptively analyzed for all patients included in the study. Mean, standard deviation (SD), median, interquartile range, and range were analyzed for continuous- or ordinal-type data. Frequencies and percentages were reported for categorical data. Each question was analyzed individually without imputation of item-level missing data; no statistical hypothesis testing or sample weighting of questionnaire responses was performed in this study.
3 Results
3.1 Patient Demographics and Clinical Characteristics
Of 2755 patients screened for both the PsA and AS surveys, 269 patients with PsA were eligible for the PsA survey. Of the 269 eligible patients, 266 completed the survey and three did not consent to participate; 66 patients had concurrent AS and were included in the AS survey analysis and excluded from the PsA survey analysis. A total of 200 patients with PsA who initiated secukinumab were included in the analysis. Patient demographics and clinical characteristics are shown in Table 1. The mean (SD) age of included participants was 36.0 (10.0) years; 55.5% were male, and 75.0% were white. Patients reported a mean (SD) time since symptom onset of 5.2 (5.4) years, with a mean (SD) time since diagnosis of 4.0 (4.5) years. The mean age (SD) of these patients at the time of PsA diagnosis was 31.6 (10.2) years. All patients reported one or more comorbidities, most commonly anxiety (38.0%), depression (29.0%), and plaque psoriasis (28.0%); 74.5% of patients reported deformities due to PsA. Patients had a mean (SD) RAPID3 score of 4.3 (1.8); 113 of 200 patients (56.5%) reported RAPID3 scores of > 4.
3.2 Treatment and Medication History
The treatment and medication history of patients in this study are summarized in Table 2. During the 12 months prior to secukinumab initiation, the majority of patients received one or more treatments for the disease, with 94.0% of patients receiving a non-biologic therapy and 87.5% of patients receiving a biologic therapy; only one patient was treatment naive prior to initiating secukinumab. Among treatment-experienced patients, 75 (37.5%) waited < 1 month before initiating secukinumab, 90 (45.0%) waited 1–4 months, and 31 (15.8%) waited ≥ 5 months. Among patients who had received prior treatment, 28.6% reported that a lack of effectiveness was the main reason for discontinuing their last treatment; other reasons cited included side effects (26.0%), painful injections/infusions (12.2%), and fear of injections or needles (8.7%) (Table 2).
3.3 Symptoms of Psoriatic Arthritis Before and After Secukinumab Initiation
After initiation of treatment with secukinumab, a lower proportion of patients evaluated in this study reported experiencing PsA symptoms, i.e., joint pain or tenderness, pain disrupting sleep, swelling of entire fingers or toes (indicating dactylitis), fatigue, morning stiffness, soreness in areas other than the joints, and ankle and heel pain (indicating enthesitis), compared with before secukinumab treatment (Fig. 1a). With regard to duration of secukinumab use, 89 patients (44.5%) had been receiving secukinumab for 3–6 months and 111 patients (55.5%) for ≥ 7 months; symptom frequency with secukinumab treatment was lower in patients with a longer duration of use (Fig. 1b, c). Among patients experiencing PsA symptom improvements (“a little better,” “moderately better,” or “much better”) since secukinumab initiation, 52.2% reported overall symptom improvement in PsA within 4 weeks after secukinumab initiation, 25.2% within 1–2 months, and 21.4% after 3 months; a similar trend was observed for all of the individual symptoms (Fig. 2).
Of 56 patients with psoriasis and PsA, 48 (85.7%) reported better overall symptom control after secukinumab initiation compared with before secukinumab initiation (“a little better,” 26.8%; “moderately better,” 39.3%; “much better,” 19.6%); the majority of patients reported improvement in each PsA symptom assessed. Among the 48 patients reporting symptom improvement after secukinumab initiation, most (62.5%) reported overall symptom improvement in PsA within 4 weeks after secukinumab initiation, 22.9% within 1–2 months, and 10.4% after 3 months; a similar trend was observed for all of the individual symptoms.
3.4 Treatment Satisfaction with Secukinumab
As shown in Fig. 3, most patients with PsA reported overall satisfaction (“very satisfied,” “mostly satisfied,” or “somewhat satisfied”) with secukinumab after ≥ 3 months of treatment with respect to overall symptom improvement (99.5%), speed of symptom improvement (100.0%), frequency and method of administration (99.5% and 97.0%, respectively), ease of use (97.5%), patient support services (98.0%), and side effects, if any (96.0%).
4 Discussion
In this study, we demonstrated the practicality of gathering real-world patient-reported experiences involving PsA symptom improvement and treatment satisfaction through a cross-sectional survey of patients with active PsA in the USA. The majority of the 200 secukinumab-treated patients with active PsA included in this study reported PsA symptom improvements and expressed treatment satisfaction with secukinumab in all PsA symptoms assessed in the survey. Approximately half of patients surveyed experienced overall improvement within 4 weeks of initiating secukinumab and > 94% within 6 months. Our survey questionnaire was developed with the guidance of a rheumatologist in clinical practice (first author) and a patient with PsA (second author). Their real-world familiarity with PsA symptoms and the associated impact of those symptoms contributed to the development of a practical questionnaire. Specifically, questionnaires and study-specific questions were selected based on their input to ensure that the wording was appropriate, and the content was relevant and meaningful to the patients.
Discrepancy between patient and physician perspectives regarding disease activity is common in rheumatic diseases [18] and is associated with increased disease burden and disability among patients with PsA [19]. Integrating clinician perspectives and patient-reported measures (including patient perspectives on specific treatments) can result in more effective treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes [19]. Prior survey studies were conducted to evaluate patient experience with biologic therapies for rheumatic diseases. Although patient satisfaction was evaluated, these studies did not focus on specific biologics. National Psoriasis Foundation surveys administered from 2003 to 2011 showed that 52.3% of respondents with psoriasis and 45.5% with PsA were dissatisfied with their treatment, which comprised non-biologics and biologics, including etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab, ustekinumab, efalizumab, and infliximab [20]. Results from the Multinational Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis, a population-based survey of patients, dermatologists, and rheumatologists conducted between June and August 2012, showed that 25.2% of surveyed patients with PsA reported dissatisfaction with the long-term safety of biologics [21]. The lack of satisfaction with therapy may negatively impact PsA management and treatment [3, 20, 21]. Optimizing satisfaction, therefore, is critical to improve the quality of healthcare [22, 23], adherence to treatment [20, 24], and disease outcomes [20]. Our study is one of the first to evaluate patient-reported treatment experience and satisfaction with secukinumab. Most patients in our cohort expressed overall satisfaction with their secukinumab treatment experience. Understanding patient perspectives on specific treatments can help better inform clinicians when they are selecting biologic therapies for patients with PsA.
There are limited real-world studies on the effectiveness of secukinumab in patients with PsA. In two cohort studies that focused on physician-evaluated measures, treatment with secukinumab led to improvements in physician-evaluated pain, tender and swollen joint counts, and Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis scores [25, 26]. Our study contributes to the pool of real-world knowledge on the effectiveness of secukinumab by identifying key PsA symptoms that were important to the patients and documenting improvements in these symptoms with secukinumab use, along with time to symptom improvement and overall patient satisfaction with secukinumab. Most patients in our study reported overall PsA symptom improvement as early as 4 weeks after secukinumab initiation compared with before secukinumab initiation, and a similar trend was observed for each symptom evaluated. The results of our study help address a knowledge gap by providing evidence of secukinumab effectiveness in a real-world patient population and insight into patient perspectives on secukinumab treatment. With regard to other IL-17A inhibitors, no real-world data on ixekizumab are available to date. Limited real-world data for the IL-12/23 inhibitor ustekinumab indicate that the biologic is effective and safe for the treatment of PsA, but patient perspectives were not assessed [27].
Further, patient-reported data collected from real-world studies can be more representative of the impact of treatment on patient daily lives compared with RCTs. While the results of our study pertaining to symptom improvement with secukinumab treatment are in agreement with those from phase III clinical studies [8,9,10], RCTs are conducted using select populations that may not be representative of patients seen in real-world clinical practice [28]. In our study, the majority of patients (87.5%) were biologic experienced; in contrast, a high proportion of the patient populations in RCTs of secukinumab was biologic naive [7, 12, 13]. The patients in our study were also younger with a shorter time to diagnosis compared with patients typically enrolled in clinical trials [7, 12, 13, 29,30,31]. In addition, RCTs may not evaluate patient satisfaction with treatment. Our study provides perspective into how patients are evaluating their treatment in a real-world setting.
Our findings should be interpreted in the context of limitations inherent to patient surveys. Patient perspectives may be conditional on patient bias and experience. Additionally, participants may have been more likely to partake regularly in research studies and hence may have had greater interest in managing their disease than the general patient population. This study relied on patient self-report of PsA diagnosis, which may have led to under- or over-reporting of PsA symptoms. Physician-confirmed diagnosis and detailed treatment history were not available in this cross-sectional study. Patient experiences prior to secukinumab initiation were based on patient recall. Restricting the sample to patients who were being treated with secukinumab at the time of the survey may have created a selection bias. No inferences can be made on patient satisfaction and experience with secukinumab compared with specific previous treatments. Our current study did not include patients who had discontinued treatment with secukinumab prior to survey completion because the goal of this survey was to establish a set of questions that would be most meaningful to patients with regard to overall symptom improvement. In the future, we will examine patient symptom improvement and experience with secukinumab in comparison with other biologics, along with patient perspectives from secukinumab responders and non-responders.
5 Conclusions
Our study demonstrated the feasibility of collecting patient perspectives on treatment effectiveness and satisfaction using a questionnaire developed with clinician and patient input. Our results also indicate that the evaluation of PsA symptom improvement and treatment satisfaction as conducted in our study is directly applicable to a future longitudinal study to investigate these features among responders and non-responders to biologic therapies for PsA. The majority of patients with PsA in our study who were treated with secukinumab reported improvements in PsA symptoms with secukinumab and conveyed overall satisfaction with their secukinumab treatment experience. Additionally, half of patients surveyed experienced overall improvement within 4 weeks of initiating secukinumab and > 94% within 6 months. Management of PsA should encompass knowledge gained from clinical trials and real-world studies, including understanding the patient perspective. Assessment of symptom improvement and treatment satisfaction appears practical and applicable in our future studies for the evaluation of patient experience and satisfaction with PsA therapeutic agents.
