Introduction The presence (vs absence) of enthesitis/dactylitis is associated with greater psoriatic arthritis (PsA) activity and reduced health-related quality of life. Risankizumab, an interleukin 23 antagonist, demonstrated superior treatment efficacy over placebo in patients with PsA, including enthesitis/dactylitis. Herein, we report the efficacy of risankizumab on complete resolution of enthesitis and/or dactylitis and improvements in patient-reported outcomes in patients with PsA. Methods This integrated post hoc analysis of data from KEEPsAKE 1 and KEEPsAKE 2 included patients with baseline enthesitis (Leeds Enthesitis Index > 0) and/or dactylitis (Leeds Dactylitis Index > 0). Efficacy outcomes at weeks 24 and 52 included proportion of patients achieving enthesitis and/or dactylitis resolution and minimal clinically important differences (MCID) in pain, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue. Results Of 1407 patients, approximately 63%, 28%, and 20% had baseline enthesitis, dactylitis, and both enthesitis/dactylitis, respectively. At week 24, higher response rates were observed for risankizumab vs placebo for resolution of enthesitis, dactylitis, and both enthesitis/dactylitis (differences of 13.9%, 16.9%, and 13.3%, respectively; p < 0.05). By week 52, risankizumab treatment resulted in complete resolution of enthesitis, dactylitis, and both enthesitis and dactylitis in 55.0%, 76.1%, and 52.3% of patients; similar resolution rates occurred among patients who switched from placebo to risankizumab. Among risankizumab-treated patients who achieved resolution of enthesitis and/or dactylitis, MCIDs were also attained in patient-reported pain, disability, and fatigue at week 24 (all p < 0.05; except fatigue in patients with resolution of both enthesitis/dactylitis); responses were sustained through week 52. Conclusions Higher proportions of risankizumab-treated (vs placebo-treated) patients achieved enthesitis and/or dactylitis resolution and meaningful improvements in patient-reported outcomes at week 24 and generally sustained responses at week 52. Thus, risankizumab may result in sustained alleviation of PsA-related pathognomonic musculoskeletal lesions of enthesitis/dactylitis. Clinicaltrials.gov identifiers NCT03675308, and NCT03671148.
