After JAK Inhibitor Failure: To Cycle Or To Switch, That Is The Question – Data From The JAK-Pot Collaboration of Registries

Ann Rheum Dis. 2022. doi: 10.1136/ard-2022-222835

Data from the JAK-pot collaboration of registries show that cycling JAKinibs and switching to a bDMARD appear to have similar effectiveness, after failing the first JAKinib.

Effectiveness of TNF-inhibitors, abatacept, IL6-inhibitors and JAK-inhibitors in 31 846 patients with rheumatoid arthritis in 19 registers from the ‘JAK-pot’ collaboration

Ann Rheum Dis. 2022 doi: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2022-222586

Observational study of data, from large international collective of registers, finds similar overall drug retention rates between RA treatment groups.

Comparison of drug retention of TNF inhibitors, other biologics and JAK inhibitors in RA patients who discontinued JAK inhibitor therapy

Rheumatology (Oxford) 2022 doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/keac285

Real-world population-based study shows that a switch to a second JAKinib results in a higher drug retention, as compared to switching to a TNFi, in patients with RA who discontinue original JAKinib therapy.
