Indications proposed in current BLA
•Enbrel® is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis
4 4
Rationale for Etanercept in AS: I• Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic
inflammatory rheumatic disease unknown etiology
• Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are FDA approved for treatment of signs and symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis
• Disease Modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS(RA)) used for Rheumatoid Arthritis are used in AS but are not FDA approved for use in AS.
• Neither NSAIDS nor DMARDS (RA) have been demonstrated to affect the progression of disability with AS.
5 5
Rationale for Etanercept in AS:II• Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels
have been shown to be elevated in serum and synovial tissue of patients with AS.
• Etanercept is licensed for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis.
• AS may share pathogenic mechanisms with these other disorders.
6 6
Outline of Discussion Topics
•Methodology for assessment of short term therapeutic benefit in AS
•Phase III trials to investigate the safety and efficacy of etanercept in patients with ankylosing spondylitis
•Phase II proof-of-concept trial

Ankylosing Spondylitis: Assessment of Short Term
Therapeutic Benefit•Assessments in Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS) Working Group
•5 domains most important in assessment of short term benefit in AS:•physical function•pain•spinal mobility•spinal stiffness and inflammation•patient’s global assessment.
8 8
Derivation of ASAS Response Criteria
•Analysis of 5 randomized trials of NSAIDS in AS enrolling 1030 patients 6 weeks treatment performed
•4 domains differentiated drug effect from placebo: •Combined into ASAS 20 response criteria•spinal mobility excluded because of lack of responsiveness
9 9
Phase 3 Protocols: Assessment of Response
• Primary Endpoint at end of treatment-ASAS Response Criteria (ASAS 20) at 12/24 wks-An improvement of at least 20%/ 10units Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (0-100mm) in at least 3 of the following domains:o Patient Global Assessmento Average of total and nocturnal paino BASFI average of 10 questionso BASDAI- average of last 2 questions-Absence of deterioration (20%/10units) in remaining domain

Secondary and Other Endpoints•Secondary Endpoints
•ASAS 50/70 at 12/24 weeks*•Highest ASAS response achieved•Partial Remission
•Other Outcome Endpoints•Individual components of ASAS Instrument
•Acute Phase Reactants: ESR, CRP•Spinal Mobility Parameters•Peripheral tender/swollen joint count•Assessor Global Assessment

Summary: Efficacy• Etanercept 25mg sc biw was superior to
placebo in achievement of ASAS 20 Response Criteria at both 12 and 24 weeks.
• Treatment difference is 33%• DMARDS did not appear to affect
difference• Prognostic factors potentially associated
with lower response– Older Age– Female gender– HLA-B27 antigen negative– Concomitant Psoriasis
44 44
Summary of Safety• Etanercept 25 mg sc biw: higher observed
incidence of certain adverse events compared to placebo– Serious adverse events (7% vs 4%)– Withdrawals for Safety (5% vs 1%) – Grade 3 /4 Adverse Events/ Infections (10%
vs 3%)• Of the 7 safety withdrawals among
etanercept recipients, 4 were for bowel symptoms, of which 2 were Inflammatory Bowel Disease, one a new diagnosis, the other a recurrence.

randomized 1:1 to Etanercept or placebo for 16 weeks
• Dosing: Etanercept 25mg sc biw or placebo
54 54
CSR 016.0626 Clinical Protocol
• Primary Efficacy Analysis– MITT population ( all randomized and one
dose drug)– 20% response at 16 weeks in 3 of 5 Pre-
specified Ankylosing Spondylitis Criteria (with one of the improved measures being spinal pain or morning stiffness without worsening in the remaining 2. For patients without joint swelling( one of the 5 measured elements) at baseline, improvement was required in 3 of the remaining 4 elements without concurrent worsening in the remaining one.
55 55
Five Pre-Specified Measures1. Patient global assessment-5
point scale over the past week, improvement = decrease of 1
2. Nocturnal spinal pain: 100mm VAS, improvement 20% in # mm
3. Duration of morning stiffness; duration of morning stiffness in minutes on the day preceding clinic visit. 20% fewer or more minutes
56 56
Five Pre-Specified Measures
4. BASFI 10 questions VAS average5. Swollen joint score: peripheral joint
swelling in 44 diarthrodial joints rated on 4 point scale 0=no swelling, 1=mild, 2=moderate,3 = severe. Improvement defined as decrease in joint swelling by 20% in swelling score. If the swollen joint score was 0 at baseline, any increase in score=worsening

Conclusions: Efficacy• Etanercept was demonstrated
statistically superior to placebo in 3 trials assessing symptomatic treatment in active Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
• Older age, female gender were associated with lower response rate.– Responses in HLA-B27- negative and
concomitant psoriasis patients were also lower but the number of patients with these conditions was small.
65 65
Conclusions: Methodology
• Results using ASAS 20 generally demonstrated responses of similar direction and magnitude to previously used measures used in the assessment of therapeutic benefit in AS.
66 66
Conclusions: Safety• Safety profile of etanercept in
ankylosing spondylitis similar to that seen in RA and other indications
• There were more withdrawals for inflammatory bowel disease in etanercept patients compared to placebo recipients in study 1 but numbers were small.
