Abstrakt: Objective: The ACT-MOVE study assessed the real-world efficacy and safety of s.c. tocilizumab (TCZ-SC), provided as monotherapy or in combination with conventional synthetic DMARDs (csDMARDs) over 1 year, in patients with RA and an inadequate response to csDMARD therapy and/or first TNF inhibitor.
Methods: In this UK multicentre, open-label phase IIIb study, patients received TCZ-SC 162 mg once weekly for 52 weeks as monotherapy or with csDMARDs. Efficacy and safety were evaluated at baseline, weeks 2 and 4 and every 4 weeks thereafter up to week 52.
Results: Of 161 patients who received at least one dose of TCZ-SC, 21 (13.0%) received TCZ-SC alone and 140 (87.0%) TCZ-SC with a csDMARD(s). From baseline to week 52, there was a mean decrease in DAS28-ESR score among all patients (-3.68), and within monotherapy (-3.75) and combination therapy (-3.67) groups. The proportion of patients who achieved DAS28 clinical remission (DAS28-ESR <2.6) at week 52 was 75.4% (95% CI 66.8, 82.8). At the same time point, ≥80% of patients who remained on TCZ-SC achieved DAS28 clinical remission or had low disease activity (DAS28-ESR ≥2.6 and ≤3.2). Overall, 6.2% of patients had at least one serious adverse event (10.2/100 patient-years), and there was one death; 11.2% of patients discontinued owing to adverse events.
Conclusion: TCZ-SC was effective and tolerated in a real-world setting over 1 year. The efficacy of TCZ-SC was similar whether given as monotherapy or with csDMARDs; its safety profile was consistent with that previously established.
