Sat0035 response to Abatacept of Different Patterns of Interstitial Lung Disease in Rheumatoid Arthritis: National Multicenter Study of 263 Patients

Abstract

Background:Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a severe extraarticular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this line, several radiological patterns of RA-ILD have been described: i) usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), ii) nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), iii) obliterating bronchiolitis, iv) organized pneumonia and mixed patterns. Abatacept (ABA) could be an effective and safe option for patients with RA-ILD, although the response in the different radiological patterns is not well defined.Objectives:Our aim was to assess the response to ABA in different radiological patterns of ILD.Methods:Observational retrospective multicenter study of RA-ILD treated with ABA. ILD was diagnosed by HRCT and classified by radiological patterns in 3 different subgroups of RA-ILD: a) UIP, b) NSIP and c) “other”. ABA was used sc. or iv. at standard dose. We assessed: a) Dyspnoea (MMRC scale; significant variation ≥1); b) Respiratory function tests (significant changes ≥10% in FVC and DLCO); c) HRCT imaging; d) DAS28 e)prednisone dose.Variables were collected at months 0, 3, 6, 12 months and subsequently every 12 months until a maximum of 60 months.Results:We included 263 patients: 106 UIP, 84 NSIP and 73 others (150 women / 113 men), mean age 64.64±10 years. Total patients positive for RF or CCPA were 235 (89.4%) and 233 (88.6%), respectively. In 26 out of 263 patients, the development of ILD was closely related to the administration of sDMARDs (MTX n = 11 and LFN n = 1) or bDMARDs (ETN n = 5, ADA n = 4, CZP n = 2 and IFX n = 3). Patient characteristics are shown in table 1. Figure 1 shows the evolution of the cases with available data after a mean follow-up of 22.7±19.7 months. Mean DLCO and FVC remained stable in the 3 groups without statistically significant changes, and all the groups showed a statistically significant reduction in DAS28 and prednisone dose.Conclusion:ABA could be a good choice of treatment in patients with RA-ILD independently of the radiological pattern of ILD.Disclosure of Interests:Carlos Fernández-Díaz Speakers bureau: Brystol Meyers Squibb, Santos Castañeda: None declared, Rafael Melero: None declared, J.

Perspective Chapter: Pulmonary System and Sjogren’s Syndrome

“…Most of the impact was seen in carriers of the NSIP subtype [263], a finding that follows UIP in frequency in RA. Despite the subtype, the overall evidence reveals benefits of abatacept in this disease [261,264,266]. The impact of methotrexate on patients on abatacept seemed not to cause any worse pulmonary function deterioration; however, methotrexate's use in ILD raises questions on safety.…”
