OBJECTIVES: Apremilast, an oral phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor, regulates
inflammatory mediators. Psoriatic Arthritis Long-term Assessment of Clinical
Efficacy 1 (PALACE 1) compared apremilast with placebo in patients with active
psoriatic arthritis despite prior traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic
drug (DMARD) and/or biologic therapy. METHODS: In the 24-week, placebo-controlled
phase of PALACE 1, patients (N=504) were randomised (1:1:1) to placebo,
apremilast 20 mg twice a day (BID) or apremilast 30 mg BID. At week 16, patients
without ?20% reduction in swollen and tender joint counts were required to be
re-randomised equally to either apremilast dose if initially randomised to
placebo or remained on their initial apremilast dose. Patients on background
concurrent DMARDs continued stable doses (methotrexate, leflunomide and/or
sulfasalazine). Primary outcome was the proportion of patients achieving 20%
improvement in modified American College of Rheumatology response criteria
(ACR20) at week 16. RESULTS: At week 16, significantly more apremilast 20 mg BID
(31%) and 30 mg BID (40%) patients achieved ACR20 versus placebo (19%) (p<0.001).
Significant improvements in key secondary measures (physical function, psoriasis)
were evident with both apremilast doses versus placebo. Across outcome measures,
the 30-mg group generally had higher and more consistent response rates, although
statistical comparison was not conducted. The most common adverse events were
gastrointestinal and generally occurred early, were self-limiting and
infrequently led to discontinuation. No imbalance in major adverse cardiac
events, serious or opportunistic infections, malignancies or laboratory
abnormalities was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Apremilast was effective in the
treatment of psoriatic arthritis, improving signs and symptoms and physical
function. Apremilast demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and was generally
well tolerated. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT01172938.
