Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the drug retention rate (DRR) of secukinumab, an anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody, in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in a real-life cohort, and to assess the impact of comorbidities and patient clinical characteristics on the DRR of secukinumab. Methods: A retrospective study of prospective followed-up patients was performed to evaluate the DRR of secukinumab on patients with PsA attending the recruiting centres between January 2016 and June 2022. Results: In 207 patients with PsA, a 60-month DRR of secukinumab of 57.0% was estimated (mean time of administration of 21.5±17.1 months). Male gender, age ≥65 years, disease duration ≥5 years and ≥10 years did not influence the DRR of secukinumab. The presence of comorbidities, considering any concomitant disorder, did not affect the DRR of secukinumab. In patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity, a trend toward a better DRR of secukinumab was recorded. In fact, patients with high blood pressure, dyslipidaemia, and type 2 diabetes showed a trend toward an improved DRR of secukinumab. Furthermore, the presence of obesity did not influence the DRR of secukinumab. Different dosages, previous bDMARDs, and concomitant therapy with csDMARDs did not influence the DRR of secukinumab. Conclusions: A cumulative 60-month DRR of secukinumab of 57.0% in patients with PsA was retrieved. The presence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity could be associated with an improved DRR of secukinumab, whereas obesity did not affect this feature in our cohort. Previous bDMARDs, concomitant csDMARDs, and different drug dosages could not influence the DRR of secukinumab over time.

Abstract
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the drug retention rate (DRR) of secukinumab, an anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody, in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in a real-life cohort, and to assess the impact of comorbidities and patient clinical characteristics on the DRR of secukinumab. Methods: A retrospective study of prospective followed-up patients was performed to evaluate the DRR of secukinumab on patients with PsA attending the recruiting centres between January 2016 and June 2022. Results: In 207 patients with PsA, a 60-month DRR of secukinumab of 57.0% was estimated (mean time of administration of 21.5±17.1 months). Male gender, age ≥65 years, disease duration ≥5 years and ≥10 years did not influence the DRR of secukinumab. The presence of comorbidities, considering any concomitant disorder, did not affect the DRR of secukinumab. In patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity, a trend toward a better DRR of secukinumab was recorded. In fact, patients with high blood pressure, dyslipidaemia, and type 2 diabetes showed a trend toward an improved DRR of secukinumab. Furthermore, the presence of obesity did not influence the DRR of secukinumab. Different dosages, previous bDMARDs, and concomitant therapy with csDMARDs did not influence the DRR of secukinumab. Conclusions: A cumulative 60-month DRR of secukinumab of 57.0% in patients with PsA was retrieved. The presence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity could be associated with an improved DRR of secukinumab, whereas obesity did not affect this feature in our cohort.
