A Study to Investigate Effectiveness of Tirzepatide Following Initiation of Ixekizumab in Participants With Active Psoriatic Arthritis and Overweight or Obesity in Clinical Practice (TOGETHER AMPLIFY-PsA)

The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adding tirzepatide to ixekizumab therapy in standard clinical practice in participants with active PsA and obesity or overweight with at least 1 weight-related comorbidity.

The study will last up to 12 months.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Normalized Functioning Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) ≤0.5 at 12 Months of Therapy

    Time frame: 12 Months

    The HAQ-DI is a patient-reported outcome questionnaire that is used to measure disease associated disability as an assessment of physical function. It consists of 20 questions referring to 8 domains of functioning. Participants assess their degree of difficulty when performing the activities over the past week on a 4-item ordinal scale, ranging from 0, "without any difficulty," to 3, "unable to do." The scores of each of the 8 domains are summed and divided by 8. Higher scores indicate more limitations in physical function.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 10% Weight Loss at 12 Months of Therapy

    Time frame: 12 Months

    Percentage of participants achieving at least a 10% weight loss at 12 months of therapy.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Tender Joint Count (TJC) ≤1

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    Percentage of participants achieving TJC ≤1.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Swollen Joint Count (SJC) ≤1

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    Percentage of participants achieving SJC ≤1.

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Body Surface Area (BSA) ≤3%

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    Percentage of participants achieving BSA ≤3%.

  4. Percentage of Participants Achieving Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity Numeric Rating Score (PaGADA NRS) of ≤2

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    The PaGADA NRS is an 11-point scale from 0 to 10 that is anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, "very well" and "very poor." Higher scores represent a higher level of disease activity.

  5. Percentage of Participants Achieving Patient Pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ≤15

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    The Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain is a single-item, patient-reported outcome instrument, used to access the current severity of participants' joint pain in relation to their PsA on a horizontal VAS of 0 to 100 mm. The Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain is anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, "no pain" and "as severe as can imagine."

  6. Percentage of Participants Achieving Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PhGADA) NRS ≤2

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    The PhGADA NRS is an 11-point scale anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, "none" and "extremely active disease."

  7. Percentage of Participants Achieving HAQ-DI Sore ≤0.5 and at Least a 10% Weight Loss

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    The HAQ-DI is a patient-reported outcome questionnaire that is used to measure disease associated disability as an assessment of physical function. It consists of 20 questions referring to 8 domains of functioning. Participants assess their degree of difficulty when performing the activities over the past week on a 4-item ordinal scale, ranging from 0, "without any difficulty," to 3, "unable to do." The scores of each of the 8 domains are summed and divided by 8. Higher scores indicate more limitations in physical function.

  8. Percentage of Participants With a Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) -Fatigue With ≥4-point Increase from Baseline

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    FACIT-F is a patient-reported, 13-item questionnaire that specifically assess the self-reported severity of fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and functioning. The FACIT-F uses 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("very much") Likert scale to assess fatigue and its impact in the past 7 days. Total score ranges from 0 to 52, based on a rating of 5-point Likert scale. Scores for negatively worded items are reversed, such that higher scores are better (that is, less fatigue).

  9. Percentage of Participants With a Short-Form 36 (SF36) Physical Component Score (PCS) Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID)

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    The SF-36v2 acute form is a 36-item, generic, patient-completed measure designed to assess health-related quality of life with 8 health domains. Items are rated on 3-, 5-, or 6-point Likert scales. Each domain is individually scored by summing item responses and transforming them to a 0-100 scale. The eight domains are aggregated into two summary scores: Physical and Mental Component Summaries. Each summary score is norm based and presented in the form of T-scores, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, with higher scores indicating better health status or functioning.

  10. Percentage of Participants With a Short-Form 36 (SF36) Mental Component Score (MCS) MCID

    Time frame: Month 6 and Month 12

    The SF-36v2 acute form is a 36-item, generic, patient-completed measure designed to assess health-related quality of life with 8 health domains. Items are rated on 3-, 5-, or 6-point Likert scales. Each domain is individually scored by summing item responses and transforming them to a 0-100 scale. The eight domains are aggregated into two summary scores: Physical and Mental Component Summaries. Each summary score is norm based and presented in the form of T-scores, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, with higher scores indicating better health status or functioning.

  11. Percentage of Participants Achieving a HAQ-DI score ≤0.5

    Time frame: Month 6

    The HAQ-DI is a patient-reported outcome questionnaire that is used to measure disease associated disability as an assessment of physical function. It consists of 20 questions referring to 8 domains of functioning. Participants assess their degree of difficulty when performing the activities over the past week on a 4-item ordinal scale, ranging from 0, "without any difficulty," to 3, "unable to do." The scores of each of the 8 domains are summed and divided by 8. Higher scores indicate more limitations in physical function.

  12. Percentage of Participants with ≥10% Weight Loss at Month 6

    Time frame: Month 6

    Percentage of participants with ≥10% weight loss at month 6.

  13. Mean Percent Change of Weight from Baseline

    Time frame: Baseline, Month 6 and Baseline, Month 12

    Mean percent change of weight from baseline.
