Celgene 'aims to be at forefront of real-world data use,' in bid to boost Otezla impact

14 June 2018

In an oral presentation to be given at the annual meeting of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), US-based Celgene (Nasdaq: CELG) will present a post hoc analysis of data from the PALACE trial program that suggest new, previously uncaptured benefits of Otezla (apremilast) against psoriatic arthritis.

Celgene has focused on all six domains of the disease – peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, axial disease, skin disease and nail disease, in an attempt to tease out specific treatment benefits.

The firm’s data show patients achieved significant reductions in swollen joint count (58%), tender joint count (42%) and Physician’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity score (49%) after 104 weeks of treatment.
