TREMFYA®: lasting, consistent relief[1]
Demonstrable joint efficacy
TREMFYA® in bio-naïve PsA patients - results from the DISCOVER-2 study
Sustained joint symptom relief proven for 2 years in PsA[1]
- More than 6 out of 10 bio-naïve PsA patients achieved ACR20 response at Week 24*[2] in the DISCOVER-2 study
Patients achieving ACR20 responses with TREMFYA® through to Week 100 (NRI)[1][2][3]
Adapted from McInnes IB, et al. 2021,[1] Mease PJ, et al 2020,[2] and McInnes IB, et al. 2021.[3]
Primary endpoint at Week 24. FAS applied at Week 24, NRI applied thereafter. n number corresponds to the total sample of patients analysed for specific measure at timepoint. ACR20, American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement; FAS, Full Analysis Set; NRI, non-responder imputation; PsA, psoriatic arthritis; q4w, every 4 weeks; q8w, every 8 weeks. Absolute differences at Week 24: TREMFYA® q8w vs. placebo – 31%, p<0.0001; TREMFYA® q4w vs. placebo – 31%, p<0.0001. Adjusted p-value.[2]
- ACR20 response rates at 1 year maintained at 2 years† and numerically increased for ACR50 and ACR70[1][3] in the DISCOVER-2 study
Patients achieving ACR50 responses with TREMFYA® through to Week 100 (NRI)[1][2][3]
Adapted from McInnes IB, et al. 2021,[1] McInnes IB, et al. 2020,[2] and Mease PJ, et al. 2020.[3]
n number corresponds to the total sample of patients analysed for specific measure at timepoint. ACR50, American College of Rheumatology 50% improvement; NRI, non-responder imputation; PsA, psoriatic arthritis; q4w, every 4 weeks; q8w, every 8 weeks. Absolute differences at Week 24: TREMFYA® q4w vs. placebo – 18%, p=0.0056. Adjusted p-value. q8w not formally tested for significance based on the hierarchical testing procedure in the statistical analysis plan.
TREMFYA® limits structural damage progression over time[1]
- TREMFYA® limited structural damage progression, with radiographic progression rates gradually declining over 2 years of treatment[1]
For PsA patients at high risk for joint damage according to clinical judgement, a dose of 100 mg every 4 weeks may be considered[4]
Mean change in structural damage progression (vdH-S) from Week 0 to 100 (NRI)[1][2][3]
Adapted from McInnes IB, et al. 2021[1] and McInnes IB, et al. 2021[3]
Change from Week 24-52 after transition from placebo. The smallest detectable change in the total PsA-modified SHS was 1.85 for Weeks 0–24, 1.91 for Weeks 24–52, and 2.39 for Weeks 0–52. PsA, psoriatic arthritis; vdH-S, Sharp-van der Hejde score
Improvements in ACR score mean less pain and swelling[5] and limiting structural damage progression improves quality of life[6]
Resolution of enthesitis (LEI) and dactylitis (DSS) through Week 100[1]
- Up to 7 out of 10 PsA patients achieved resolution of enthesitis at Week 100[1] in the DISCOVER-2 study

*Nominal p-value. Among patients with enthesitis or dactylitis at Week 0. Resolution of enthesitis (Leeds Enthesitis Index score=0; range 0-6) determined among patients with enthesitis at baseline. Resolution of enthesitis was pre-specified to be pooled across studies as a controlled endpoint at Week 24; pooled results are also reported at Week 52 (NRI population); 243 crossed over to TREMFYA® q4w at Week 24 and 12 received placebo only before study agent discontinuation. NRI, non-responder imputation; q4w, every 4 weeks; q8w, every 8 weeks.
- Up to 8 out of 10 PsA patients achieved resolution of dactylitis at Week 100[1] in the DISCOVER-2 study
Resolution of dactylitis at Week 24, 52 and 100 (NRI)[1][2][3]
Adapted from McInnes IB, et al. 2021[1] McInnes IB, et al. 2020[2] and TREMFYA® SmPC.[4]
Nominal p-value. Among patients with enthesitis or dactylitis at Week 0. Resolution of dactylitis (Dactylitis Severity Score=0; range 0-60) determined among patients with dactylitis at baseline. Resolution of dactylitis was pre-specified to be pooled across studies as a controlled endpoint at Week 24; pooled results are also reported at Week 52 (NRI population); 142 crossed over from placebo to TREMFYA® q4w at Week 24 and 12 received placebo only before study agent discontinuation. NRI, non-responder imputation; q4w, every 4 weeks; q8w, every 8 weeks.
Complete skin clearance
Fast[2][7] and sustained complete clearance proven for 2 years in psoriatic arthritis[1]
- 45% of TREMFYA® PsA patients achieved PASI 100 by Week 24‡[2]
- The majority of TREMFYA® PsA patients were completely or almost completely clear at 1 year§[3]
- The majority of PsA patients achieved complete or almost complete skin clearance at 2 years¶[1]
Patients achieving PASI 100 responses with TREMFYA® at Week 24, 52 and at Week 100 (NRI)[1][2][3]
Adapted from Mease PJ, et al. 2020,[2] McInnes IB, et al. 2021[1] and McInnes IB, et al. 2021.[3]
Secondary endpoint not controlled for multiplicity. Nominal p-value to be interpreted as supportive. n number corresponds to the total sample of patients analysed for specific measure at timepoint. Results at Week 52 have been rounded to the nearest whole number. PASI, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index; PsA, psoriatic arthritis; q4w, every 4 weeks; q8w, every 8 weeks; SC, subcutaneous.
Proven durability*
Most patients who started on TREMFYA®, stayed on TREMFYA® long-term[1][3][8]
Incidences of AEs and SAEs were comparable to placebo through Week 24[2] and consistent up to Week 112[1]
Adapted from McInnes IB, et al. 2021,[1]
- TREMFYA® was generally well tolerated in psoriatic arthritis patients in the DISCOVER studies up to Week 100[1]
Through to Week 112 in TREMFYA®-treated patients:[1]
Opportunistic infections were observed in 3 out of 731 patients (0.4%)[1]
The rates of AEs, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuations, infections, serious infections, and injection site reactions were generally consistent with those observed at Week 24 and at Week 52[1]
