Psoriatic Arthritis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Metformin: A Valid Add-On Drug in the Treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis-Randomized Controlled Trial
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic, inflammatory disease. The chronic inflammation in PsA predisposes patients to the metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is associated with systemic inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines. Clinical observations and experimental results argue for an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant property of MET.
The chronic inflammatory nature of psoriasis and PsA predisposes patients to cardiovascular
diseases and metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is associated with systemic inflammation and
proinflammatory cytokines.Clinical observations and experimental results argue for an
anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant property of MET.
A randomized placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of
metformin as add-on therapy to MTX compared to MTX after 24 weeks in patients with PsA.
The study randomized 56 patients with a diagnosis of PsA . Patients with a history of a
cardiovascular event and diabetics were excluded. Body mass index (BMI) and classic
cardiovascular risk factors were recorded. Blood samples were analysed for glucose, lipid
profile, ESR, hsCRP, proinflammatory cytokines; tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha),
interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-17. The homeostasis model assessment model for insulin
resistance (HOMA-IR) was used. The patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive
500mg/day retarded formulation of metformin (n=29) or placebo (n=29). Continuation of stable
doses of MTX (25mg/week), NSAIDs, and/or corticosteroids (prednisone <10 mg/day) was
permitted. Metformin drug pause on the day of MTX was given. Folic acid supplementation was
given to both groups. The primary clinical endpoint was the ACR 20% (ACR20) response at 24
weeks. Secondary endpoints included reduction in PASI score, Health Assessment
Questionnaire- Disability Index (HAQ-DI) and Psoriatic arthritis response criteria (PsARC)
score.
