Researchers compared the effectiveness of tofacitinib and vedolizumab among patients with UC who had experienced anti-TNF failure.
In patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), tofacitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor, was associated with improved short-term efficacy, when compared with vedolizumab, an integrin receptor antagonist. Findings were presented at the Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (AIBD) 2019 meeting in Orlando, Florida.
Treatment with tofacitinib appears to have little impact on extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) and might even improve them, according to an analysis of the OCTAVE program. Findings were presented at the 2019 AIBD Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida.
Researchers compared the risk for serious infections in offspring of mothers with chronic inflammatory diseases who received non-TNFi biologics or tofacitinib during pregnancy vs offspring who were unexposed, but exposed to TNFi in utero.
Although the incidence rate of venous thromboembolism was numerically higher in patients treated with tofacitinib vs TNF inhibitors, the risk was not statistically significant.
The results support combination therapy with intra-articular steroid injections and tofacitinib to achieve clinical and radiographic remission in patients with early rapid radiographic progression RA.
Tofacitinib extended release has comparable clinical efficacy to tofacitinib administered twice daily.
In this post hoc analysis, researchers explored whether anemia was a predictor of radiographic progression in patients with RA who were treated with tofacitinib.
Xeljanz and Xeljanz XR are Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors indicated to treat moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate therapy is inadequate.
