Aktif romatoid artritli ve DMARDlara yetersiz yanıtlı hastaların dahil edildiği bir randomize, faz 3 çalışmada tofacitinib monoterapisinin hastalar tarafından bildirilen sonuçlar üzerindeki etkileri

Arthritis Research & Therapy (2015) 17:307 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-015-0825-9 [Epub ahead of print]

RA presents a significant health and socioeconomic burden particularly in physical functioning, fatigue, and emotional roles. A phase III 6-month study of tofacitinib in patients with active RA, who had prior inadequate responses to cDMARDs or bDMARDs, uses patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to assess the impact on quality of life. Patients were randomized 4:4:1:1 to receive tofacitinib 5 or 10 mg BID, or placebo for 3 months followed by tofacitinib 5 or 10 mg BID. At month 3, tofacitinib 5 and 10...

Geleneksel sentetik veya biyolojik hastalık modifiye edici antiromatizmal ilaçlara yetersiz cevabı takiben tofacitinibin etkinliği ve güvenliği

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. 2015 Aug 14. doi:pii: annrheumdis-2014-207178.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, an oral Janus kinase inhibitor, in patients with inadequate response to sDMARDs or bDMARDs. Findings from this study show both doses of tofacitinib were associated with improvements in efficacy parameters at month 3 versus placebo, and clinical response was numerically greater with bDMARD-naïve versus bDMARD-IR patients (95% CI overlapping). Safety parameters were generally similar; however, patients receiving glucocorticoids had more ...

Aktif Romatoid Artritli ve Metoktreksata Yetersiz Yanıtlı Hastalarda Sarilumab artı Metotreksat: Bir Faz III Çalışmanın Sonuçları

Arthritis Rheumatol. Vol. 67, No. 6, June 2015, pp 1424–1437

Biologic DMARDs targeting TNF-alpha, IL-1, T-cell co-stimulatory blockade, B-cell depletion, and IL-6R, as well as the newer JAK inhibitors have greatly improved clinical outcomes in RA. However, not all patients respond to current biologic or small molecule DMARDs.

Sarilumab is a fully human anti-IL-6Rα mAb that binds membrane-bound and soluble human IL-6R with high affinity, blocking cis and trans IL-6-mediated signalling. This study (MOBILITY) is the first randomised, double-blin...

Aktif Romatoid Artritli Hastalarda Monoterapi Olarak Oral Selektif Bir JAK-3 İnhibitörü Olan Decernotinib’in Randomize, Çift-Kör, Plasebo-Kontrollü, On İki-Haftalık Bir Doz-Aralığı Çalışması

Arthritis Rheumatol. 2015;67(2):334–343.

Decernotinib (VX-509; Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated) is a JAK 3 inhibitor currently under investigation for its potential use in the treatment of RA. The potency and selectivity profiles of this oral compound have already been established in previous trials, so this study aimed to establish the efficacy and safety profiles of the drug, in RA patients who have had an inadequate response to at least one DMARD.

Four doses; 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg, were evaluated in this placebo...

Romatoid Artritli Hastalarda Sağlıklı Gönüllülere Göre Anormal Lipid Profiline Neden Olan Potansiyel Mekanizmalar ve Bunların Tofacitinib Tarafından Tersine Çevrilmesi

Arthritis Rheumatol. 2015;67(3):616-25.

Active RA is associated with changes in both high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as well as changes in the level and function of several HDL-associated proteins, yet the pathways and mechanisms involved with systemic inflammation altered lipid metabolism have not been determined. In addition, treatments for active RA are known to modify lipid metabolism, such as increasing circulating cholesterol levels. In the clinical development programme, a proportion of tofacitinib-treated patien...
