Upadacitinib treating bDMARD-IR PsA & Post-marketing surveillance of tofacitinib treating PsA & RA

Peter Nash, Professor at the School of Medicine, Griffith University, and Director of the Rheumatology Research Unit on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, is joined by Laura Coates, an Associate Professor, NIHR clinician scientist and senior clinical research fellow at the Oxford Psoriatic Arthritis Centre as well as Doctor Frank Behrens, Medical director at Goethe-University.

The papers covered in this topical discussion highlight two interesting areas of the modern PsA therapeutic landscape. The first of the publications discusses the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib in the treatment of patients with PsA and an inadequate response to bDMARDs through a three-year study. The second, explores an analysis of the real-world safety profile of tofacitinib in the treatment of patients with PsA.

Discussing Rheumatology: September 2023

Join Prof Iain McInnes as he reviews two interesting papers , that retrospectively investigate the properties of JAK inhibitors.

In our first paper, Peter Taylor and his colleagues review the pharmacological differences between JAK inhibitors, and how these may affect safety and efficacy. In the second, Qige Wei and colleagues carried out a network meta-analysis of 14 RCTS to identify any associations between RA therapies and MACE or all-cause mortality.

Discussing Rheumatology: August 2023

Join Prof Iain McInnes as he reviews two interesting papers.

Our first paper today by Charles-Schoeman and colleagues compared paraoxonase activity in RA patients treated with tofacitinib, with a focus of PON1 genotypes. Furthermore, the relationship between PON1 genotypes and the risk of MACE and malignancy were also investigated.

In our second paper, Peter Taylor and colleagues evaluated the results of several baricitinib RCTs and real-world evidence studies.
