This study evaluated the long-term effectiveness of secukinumab (SCK) in treating axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) using a cohort of 39 patients from three Italian hospitals over 2 years. AxSpA is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. The study found that both the BASDAI and ASDAS-CRP scores, which measure disease activity, significantly decreased over the observation period. By the end, 78.2% of patients remained on SCK treatment. There were no significant differences in retention rates between biologic-naive and anti-TNF failure patients. No adverse events were reported. The study concludes that SCK is an effective and safe long

Axial Spondyoarthritis (AxSpA) is a chronic, autoinflammatory disease
predominantly affecting the axial skeleton (sacroiliac joints and spine), and a term for types of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affect the spine and the sacroiliac (SI) joints that connect the lower spine to the pelvis, resulting in pain in the lower back, hips, and buttocks. AxSpA is divided into two groups : Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) and Radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (ankylosing spondylitis). This Study used cohort from patient diagnosed with axSpA from ASAS criteria and undergoing secukinumab (SCK) treatment in three Italian referral centres (Siena, Bari, and Florence) which is included 39 patients . Laboratory and clinical evaluation was performed at baseline and every 3 months for the first year and In the second year of treatment, follow-up visits were performed every 6 months. Disease activity was assessed using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score- (ASDAS-) CRP. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate SCK’s long-term efficacy in the management of axSpA manifestations. This study showed that the both BASDAI and ASDAS-CRP showed a statistically significant reduction in the observation period. At the end of the observation period, 7 out of 39 (17.94%), patients discontinued SCK due to lack of efficacy (n = 2), loss of efficacy (n = 3), or poor compliance (n = 2). Author got 78.2% global drug retention rate at the end of the study period, without any significant differences between biologic-naive and anti-TNF-α-failure patients (p = 0,619) or between subjects administered with different SCK dosages (p = 0,614). There is no statistically significant variation of ESR emerged between baseline and the follow-up assessments. And there is no adverse events were reported during the observation time. In conclusion, Author states that SCK has proved to have a remarkable drug retention rate and SCK has an effective and safe profile in the management of a real- life heterogeneous cohort of axSpA patients.
