Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We used data from the SENSCIS trial to assess the effects of nintedanib versus placebo in subgroups of patients with SSc-ILD based on characteristics associated with progression of SSc-ILD in previous studies. METHODS: Patients with SSc-ILD were randomized to receive nintedanib or placebo, stratified by anti-topoisomerase I antibody (ATA) status. We assessed the rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) (mL/year) over 52 weeks in subgroups by baseline ATA status, modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) (<18 versus ≥18), and SSc subtype (limited cutaneous SSc [lcSSc] versus diffuse cutaneous SSc [dcSSc]). RESULTS: At baseline, of 576 patients treated, 60.8% were ATA-positive, 51.9% had dcSSc, and 77.5% of 574 patients with mRSS data available had mRSS <18. The effect of nintedanib versus placebo on reducing the rate of decline in FVC (mL/year) was numerically more pronounced in patients who were ATA-negative (difference: 57.2 [95% CI -3.5, 118.0]) than ATA-positive (difference: 29.9 [-19.1, 78.8]), in patients who had mRSS ≥18 (difference: 88.7 [7.7, 169.8]) than mRSS <18 at baseline (difference: 26.4 [-16.8, 69.6]), and in patients with dcSSc (difference: 56.6 [3.2, 110.0]) than lcSSc (difference: 25.3 [-28.9, 79.6]), but exploratory interaction P values did not indicate heterogeneity in the effect of nintedanib versus placebo between these subgroups (P > 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION: In patients with SSc-ILD, no heterogeneity was detected in the treatment effect of nintedanib in reducing the annual rate of decline in FVC across subgroups based on ATA status, mRSS, and SSc subtype.
