Adami et al. conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the GC sparing effects of JAKi versus bDMARDs in rheumatoid arthritis patients. They found that JAKi therapy was associated with a significant reduction in GC dose compared with bDMARDs. This suggests that JAKi could be more effective in reducing long-term GC exposure in RA patients.

Data showing that TOF can inhibit unbalanced osteoclastogenesis in RA suggests that targeting the JAK-STAT pathway can halt bone erosion, as TOF has been shown to reduce articular bone erosion in RA and PsA.The authors in this review summarise current knowledge on the relationship between the immune system and the skeleton before examining the involvement of JAK-STAT signalling in bone homeostasis while discussing the evidence on the benefit of TOF on prevention of bone involvement in RA and PsA...
