The ability of rodent immune-mediated arthritis models to quantitatively predict therapeutic activity of antiarthritis agents is poorly understood. Two commonly used preclinical models of arthritis are adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats. The objective of the current study is to investigate the relationship between efficacy in AIA and CIA in rats, and clinical efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis patients using translational pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) analysis. A range of doses of indomethacin (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), and three disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), methotrexate, etanercept, and tofacitinib, were evaluated in AIA and CIA rats. Dexamethasone was included in this study as a positive control. The area under the ankle diameter-time profile (AUC ankle ) and ankle histopathology summed scores (AHSS) were used as efficacy endpoints for activity against disease symptoms (joint inflammation) and disease progression (joint damage), respectively. Translational PK-PD analysis was performed to rank order preclinical efficacy endpoints at clinically relevant concentrations. For each drug tested, inhibition of AUC ankle and AHSS scores was generally comparable in both magnitude and rank order. Overall, based on both AUC ankle and the AHSS inhibition, the rank ordering of preclinical activity for the DMARDs evaluated was tofacitinib &gt; etanercept ≥ methotrexate. This ranking of preclinical efficacy was consistent with reported clinical efficacy. Of interest, indomethacin showed equal or often better efficacy than the three DMARDs evaluated on inhibiting AHSS despite having limited ability to prevent joint damage clinically in patients. The translational value of performing PK-PD analysis of arthritis models in rats is discussed.
