BAD Biologic Interventions Register (BADBIR ) An updateNovember 2010
Presentation Overview Project rationale Brief history of BADBIR Aim and study design Data collection Conclusions
The advent of biologic agents Has been met with: Considerable enthusiasm from both clinicians and patients Concerns relatively high cost potential for serious side effects efalizumab (recently had marketing license withdrawn) anti-TNF agents (serious infections e.g. tuberculosis, certain malignancies e.g. lymphomas, demyelinating disorders, congestive heart failure)
How is Potential Harm of Biologic Therapy assessed? Phase I/II– Phase III Spontaneous pharmacovigilance Observational cohorts National registers • Short-term safety of biologics has been evaluated in clinical trials Some long-term safety data on anti-TNF drugs available from use in other conditions e.g. inflammatory arthritis, Crohn’s disease
Rationale for BADBIR Patients with severe psoriasis are likely to be obese smoke abuse alcohol have a high risk of cardio-vascular disease be exposed to different types of drugs, e.g. phototherapy Therefore, data on the safety of biologic use in other conditions cannot be directly extrapolated to psoriasis Recommendation from BAD All patients treated with biologic agents be registered with BADBIR
Brief History of BADBIR MREC Approval achieved BADBIR Main study BADBIR 1st patient recruited BADBIR Pilot phase Completed n = 143 MREC submission BADBIR Pilot phase started Jul 2008 Aug 2008 Aug 2007 Dec 2006 Mar 2007 Apr 2007
Aim of BADBIR To investigate the long-term outcome of psoriasis patients treated with biologic agents, with particular reference to safety Primary endpoints of interest malignancy infection requiring hospitalisation serious adverse events death

BADBIR Study DesignObservational Cohort Study Inclusion Criteria (both cohorts) • Diagnosis of psoriasis • Aged 16 years or over • Willing to provide written informed consent • Under the care of a dermatologist Conventional cohort Biologic Cohort (anti-psoriatic therapy) Starting / switching BIOLOGIC therapy in last 6 months Starting* / switching CONVENTIONAL therapy in last 6 months vs. • acitretin • adalimumab • ciclosporin • etanercept • fumaric acid esters • infliximab • hydroxycarbamide • ustekinumab • methotrexate • PUVA • Conventional cohort additional criteria: • Must be biologic naive • * If starting therapy, PASI ≥10 and a DLQI >10

Study Design – Follow-up 6 Monthly Annually Dermatology Team questionnaire 5 YEARS Annually 6 Monthly Patient questionnaire & diary 5 YEARS NHS Information Centre (NHSIC) flagging LIFE LONG Year 0 Year 3 Year 5
Sample Size Calculation • Power to detect a 3-4 fold increase in skin cancer • Baseline risk in psoriasis • Non melanoma skin cancer = 100/100,000pyrs • Accounting for losses to follow-up and deaths, requires: Biologic N = 4000 (per drug) Conventional N = 4000

In conclusion: BADBIR Will help to answer important questions about long-term safety of both biologic and systemic anti-psoriatic therapy Enable us to provide more accurate, better quality information to patients commencing both the biologic and the conventional treatments
The dermatology teams for their efforts in registering patients BAD was provided with restricted income financial support from Abbott, Janssen Cilag, Pfizer and MSD to set-up BADBIR BAD commissioned the University of Manchester to set-up BADBIR with this financial support Acknowledgements
