P198  Efficacy and safety of secukinumab in ankylosing spondylitis: real-world data from Midlands Ankylosing Spondylitis Collaboration (MASC)
Conclusion This multi-centre retrospective analysis found secukinumab to be clinically effective in 68% of patients with AS. There was significant improvement in BASDAI, VAS and CRP levels at week16. Compared to anti-TNF resistant patients, TNF-Naïve responded better to secukinumab, although both showed go od clinical improvement. These findings support the use of secukinumab in the treatment of AS, as a first line therapy or for those who have failed anti-TNF therapy. Safety signals observed in the real-word data set were consistent with those seen in the clinical trials and the Summary of Product Ch aracteristics.Disc...

P197  Evaluating the patient experience of the Barts Health MySpA app for axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Conclusion MySpA is well received by patients with axSpA and PsA at Whipps Cross Hospital as a resource where they find specialist support, information and exercise guidance to empower management. It provides a useful virtual tool to assist patients take control of their arthritis and track and monitor thei r condition and has been particularly useful in this regard during the Covid pandemic. Patients used the facility to complete and share their assessment results and journal logs virtually with their healthcare team. However, continual awareness of MySpA amongst patients and clinicians is required to enable the opportu...

P195  Efficacy of ixekizumab versus adalimumab in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients with and without moderate-to-severe psoriasis: 52-week results from a multicentre, randomised open-label study
Conclusion In pts with active PsA, a significantly higher proportion of IXE-treated pts achieved the combined ACR50+PASI100 endpoint, and PASI100 at wk 52 vs. ADA, regardless of baseline PsO severity. ACR50 response at wk 24 and 52 was not influenced by IXE dosing. Faster improvements in MDA and DAPSA remis sion were observed with IXE than with ADA.

Conclusion A higher proportion of ASAS40 responders was observed in IXE treated arms versus PBO among bDMARD-naïve and TNFi-experienced pts with r-axSpA when the CRP cutoff of 10mg/L was evaluated, and the responses were consistent through Wk52.

P193  Clinical features of patients with active ankylosing spondylitis who did not respond to adalimumab but responded to ixekizumab: a post-hoc analysis
Conclusion In this analysis, patients who did not respond to ADA but subsequently responded to IXE exhibited overall lower levels of inflammation, as measured by CRP and MRI of the spine or sacroiliac joints, compared with patients who responded on ADA and also after switching to IXE. Along with comparative findings in patients who continuously received IXE and responded at both wks16 and 52 or wk52 only, these data indicate that IXE is efficacious in patients with active AS irrespective of inflammation level, assessed by CRP and MRI. Alternatively, lower baseline inflammation may be a predictor of de layed response.Disc...

P185  Does BASDAI score correlate to MRI changes in ankylosing spondylarthritis?
Conclusion BASDAI score did not statistically correlate with the severity of inflammation as objectively observed on MRI. Only inflammatory back pain and anti-TNF therapy correlated with MRI disease activity. There was no difference in clinical features including HLA-B27 between patients with active and ina ctive MRI. Thus, BASDAI as a criterion for biologic therapy may need re-considering.Disclosure N. Jain: None.S. Byravan: None.J. Stairs: None.W. Rennie: None.M.

Conclusion This study indicates that HHD may provide an inexpensive, user-friendly method of strength assessment in IIM patients, providing accurate insights into function, strength and global activity. Undertaking HHD in clinic and by a specialist physiotherapist allows for stratified, personalised rehabil itation intervention.
