OBJECTIVES: Assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab in patients with
systemic sclerosis (SSc) in a phase II study. METHODS: Patients with SSc were
treated for 48 weeks in an open-label extension phase of the faSScinate study
with weekly 162?mg subcutaneous tocilizumab. Exploratory end points included
modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) and per cent predicted forced vital capacity
(%pFVC) through week 96. RESULTS: Overall, 24/44 (55%) placebo-tocilizumab and
27/43 (63%) continuous-tocilizumab patients completed week 96. Observed mean (SD
(95%?CI)) change from baseline in mRSS was -3.1 (6.3 (-5.4 to -0.9)) for placebo
and -5.6 (9.1 (-8.9 to-2.4)) for tocilizumab at week 48 and -9.4 (5.6 (-8.9 to
-2.4)) for placebo-tocilizumab and -9.1 (8.7 (-12.5 to -5.6)) for
continuous-tocilizumab at week 96. Of patients who completed week 96, any decline
in %pFVC was observed for 10/24 (42% (95%?CI 22% to 63%)) placebo-tocilizumab and
12/26 (46% (95%?CI 27% to 67%)) continuous-tocilizumab patients in the open-label
period; no patients had >10%?absolute decline in %pFVC. Serious infection
rates/100 patient-years (95%?CI) were 10.9 (3.0 to 27.9) with placebo and 34.8
(18.0 to 60.8) with tocilizumab during the double-blind period by week 48 and
19.6 (7.2 to 42.7) with placebo-tocilizumab and 0.0 (0.0 to 12.2) with
continuous-tocilizumab during the open-label period. CONCLUSIONS: Skin score
improvement and FVC stabilisation in the double-blind period were observed in
placebo-treated patients who transitioned to tocilizumab and were maintained in
the open-label period. Safety data indicated increased serious infections in
patients with SSc but no new safety signals with tocilizumab. TRIAL REGISTRATION
NUMBER: NCT01532869; Results.
