Le filgotinib modifie les biomarqueurs des protéines du sang périphérique associés à l'inflammation chez les adultes atteints de polyarthrite rhumatoïde active et avec réponse inadéquate antérieure au méthotrexate

This study by Tanaka, et al. shows that filgotinib reduces peripheral protein biomarkers associated with JAK/STAT signalling, inflammatory signalling, immune cell migration, and bone resorption in RA patients. Notably, filgotinib 200 mg significantly reduced IL-6, TNF, CXCL13 levels as early as Week 4.

Data were taken from FINCH1, a global, Phase 3, double-blind, active-controlled study. Biomarkers were analysed at baseline, Week 4, and Week 12. Patients were randomised to filgotinib 100 mg, filgotinib 200 mg, adalimumab 40 mg, or placebo.
