Response to netakimab in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis patients with different baseline C-reactive protein, sacroiliitis evaluated by MRI and peripheral joint involvement status: a post-hoc analysis of the ASTERA study.

Objectives: Netakimab is a humanised camelid-derived monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-17A. Here, we report the results of post-hoc analysis of the ASTERA phase 3 study (NCT03447704, February 27, 2018) in patients with active radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) grouped by baseline C-reactive protein (CRP), baseline sacroiliac joint (SIJ) inflammation through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or presence of peripheral arthritis (PA).

Methods: In this double-blinded, multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 ASTERA study, 228 adult patients with active r-axSpA received 120 mg of subcutaneous netakimab or placebo at weeks 0, 1, 2, and thereafter every other week.

Objective And Design: The aim of this double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III CORONA clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IL-6 receptor inhibitor levilimab (LVL) in subjects with severe COVID-19.

Subjects: The study included 217 patients. The eligible were men and non-pregnant women aged 18 years or older, hospitalized for severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

Efficacy and Safety of Netakimab, A Novel Anti-IL-17 Monoclonal Antibody, in Patients with Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis. Results of A 54-Week Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled PLANETA Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Netakimab (NTK), an original humanized anti-interleukin-17 monoclonal antibody, showed therapeutic efficacy in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in a phase 2 clinical study. Herein we report the results of 54 weeks of a phase 3 PLANETA trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two NTK regimens vs. placebo.
