Upadacitinib Safety Similar to Other Jakinibs for RA

Lisa Rapaport  |  November 16, 2020

(Reuters Health)—A once-daily 15 mg dose of upadacitinib for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has similar rates of malignancies, serious infections, major adverse cardiovascular events, and venous thromboembolic events as other Janus kinase inhibitors (jakinibs), results from phase 3 clinical trials suggest. Researchers examined data on treatment emergent adverse events among patients taking upadacitinib in five randomized…

The Great Debate: Should Jakinibs Be Used Before Biologics after Methotrexate Failure in RA?

Jason Liebowitz, MD, FACR  |  November 9, 2020

ACR CONVERGENCE 2020—In many ways, the current plethora of treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis patients represents an embarrassment of riches. However, while many therapeutics approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) are available, knowing the order in which to try these medications with patients can be quite challenging. In The Great Debate, held…

U.S. & E.U. Differ on Filgotinib for RA

Michele B. Kaufman, PharmD, BCGP  |  September 14, 2020

This summer, the FDA rejected a new drug application for filgotinib to treat RA in the U.S., but a European Medicines Agency committee issued a positive opinion, moving filgotinib closer to authorized use in the E.U.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy Update: What’s Changed & What’s the Same

Kimberly Retzlaff  |  May 15, 2020

SNOWMASS VILLAGE, COLO.—Current trends in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) therapy are the increased use of newer medication categories, such as Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors (Jakinibs) and biologics, and the rising costs of treatment. Unchanged is the consistent use of methotrexate as an effective therapy. These topics and more were discussed at the ACR Winter Symposium during…

Researchers Give Update on Janus Kinase (JAK) Inhibitors

Kimberly Retzlaff  |  May 15, 2020

SNOWMASS VILLAGE, COLO.—Janus kinase inhibitors—or Jakinibs—are a relatively new class of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) that perform well and have a safety profile comparable to biologics. This group of drugs was the subject of The New Frontier: Comparative Safety of JAK Inhibitors, a presentation given at the ACR Winter Symposium by Kevin L. Winthrop, MD,…

Studies Suggest Similar Risks for Biologics vs. Conventional Therapies for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Bryn Nelson, PhD  |  May 15, 2020

Two new studies delving into the relative safety of biologic drugs prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have concluded that real-world applications of abatacept and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi’s) are comparable to more conventional therapies in their associated risk of serious infections. Triple Therapy One study, in Arthritis Care & Research, found the risk of…

Mary Choy, PharmD, BCGP, FASHP  |  August 16, 2019

Over the past few years, bio­similars and other new drugs have been introduced to treat rheumatic illnesses. Some of the conditions we treat have numerous drug options, others have few or only off-label options. This series, “Rheumatology Drugs at a Glance,” provides streamlined information on the administration of biologic, biosimilar and small molecule inhibitor drugs…

A New Treatment for Axial Spondyloarthritis?

A New Treatment for Axial Spondyloarthritis?

Mary Beth Nierengarten  |  June 17, 2019

If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), difficult-to-treat patients with axial spondyloarthritis who fail or are intolerant to standard treatment with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) may have a new treatment option. That new option is a high-affinity monoclonal antibody, called ixekizumab, which selectively targets an area linked to the immunopathology of…
