Safety profile of upadacitinib in patients at risk of cardiovascular disease: integrated post hoc analysis of the SELECT phase III rheumatoid arthritis clinical programme
Ann Rheum Dis. 2023 doi: 10.1136/ard-2023-223916
Pots hoc analysis of safety data in patients with RA at increased risk of CV events from the upadacitinib SELECT phase III RA clinical programme helps to contextualise the overall risk profile of upadacitinib.
Following the recent reports from the ORAL Surveillance study, highlighting different safety risks of the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib in patients with RA aged ≥50 years with ≥1 additional CV risk factor, clinicians have sort to better understand whether these differential risks are common to all members of the JAK inhibitor class. As such, Fleischmann, et al. undertook a post hoc analysis evaluating the safety of upadacitinib across the SELECT RA programme, focusing on patients similar to those enrolled in ORAL Surveillance.
