Relative Remission and Low Disease Activity Rates of Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib, and Filgotinib versus Methotrexate in Patients with Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drug-Naive Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The relative efficacy of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in producing remission and low disease activity (LDA) states remains unknown since there are currently no trials that provide direct comparisons among JAK inhibitors in disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-naive patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).. This study aimed to assess the relative remission and LDA rates of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib compared to those of methotrexate (MTX) in DMARD-naive patients with RA.. We conducted Bayesian network meta-analysis and included information from direct and indirect comparisons from randomized controlled trials that examined remission (Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints using C-reactive protein level [DAS28-CRP] <2.6) and LDA (DAS28-CRP ≤ 3.2) produced by tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib monotherapy, and MTX in patients with DMARD-naive RA.. Four randomized controlled trials, comprising 2,185 patients, met the inclusion criteria. This network meta-analysis showed that treatment with tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib achieved a significantly higher remission rate than that with MTX (odds ratio [OR] = 4.13, 95% CI = 2.88-6.02; OR = 2.12, 95% CI = 1.17-4.13; OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.10-3.50; OR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.27-3.53). The ranking probability based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve indicated that upadacitinib 15 mg had the highest probability of achieving remission (SUCRA = 0.985), followed by tofacitinib 5 mg (SUCRA = 0.574), baricitinib 4 mg (SUCRA = 0.506), filgotinib 200 mg (SUCRA = 0.431), and MTX (SUCRA = 0.004). Moreover, treatment with tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib achieved significantly higher LDA rate than that with MTX. The ranking probability for LDA was similar to that for remission; upadacitinib 15 mg had the highest probability of achieving LDA, followed by tofacitinib 5 mg, baricitinib 4 mg, filgotinib 200 mg, and MTX.. Upadacitinib seems to be one of most effective interventions for achieving remission and LDA in DMARD-naive patients with RA based on the comparative analysis, and there are differences in remission and LDA rates induced by different JAK inhibitors.

Comparative efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib in active rheumatoid arthritis refractory to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
The relative efficacy and tolerability of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib were assessed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with inadequate responses to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs).. We performed a Bayesian network meta-analysis to combine direct and indirect evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to examine the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib in RA patients with inadequate responses to bDMARDs.. Four RCTs comprising 1399 patients met the inclusion criteria. Tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib achieved significant American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) responses versus placebo. The ranking probability based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) indicated that upadacitinib 15 mg had the highest probability of being the best treatment for achieving the ACR20 response rate, followed by filgotinib 200 mg, baricitinib 4 mg, filgotinib 100 mg, tofacitinib 5 mg, and placebo. The ranking in SUCRA based on the ACR50 response rate indicated that baricitinib 4 mg had the highest probability of achieving the ACR50 response rate, followed by filgotinib 200 mg, tofacitinib 5 mg, upadacitinib 15 mg, filgotinib 100 mg, and placebo. Tofacitinib 5 mg showed a significantly higher ACR70 response rate than filgotinib 100 mg and upadacitinib 15 mg. Tofacitinib 5 mg, filgotinib 200 mg, and placebo showed a significantly lower serious adverse event rate than upadacitinib 15 mg.. Tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib were effective treatment options for RA patients with an inadequate response to bDMARDs but with different efficacy and safety profiles.. ZIEL: Bei Patienten mit rheumatoider Arthritis (RA) und inadäquater Reaktion auf biologische krankheitsmodizifierende Antirheumatika (bDMARD) wurde die relative Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit von Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib und Filgotinib ermittelt.. Eine Bayes-Netzwerk-Metaanalyse wurde durchgeführt, um direkte und indirekte Evidenz aus randomisierten kontrollierten Studien (RCT) zu kombinieren und so die Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit von Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib und Filgotinib bei RA-Patienten mit inadäquatem Ansprechen auf bDMARD zu untersuchen.. Die Einschlusskriterien wurden von 4 RCT mit 1399 Patienten erfüllt. Unter Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib und Filgotinib zeigte sich eine signifikant höhere ACR20-Ansprechrate (gemäß American College of Rheumatology) als unter Placebo. Wie die Rangfolgewahrscheinlichkeit, basierend auf der Oberfläche unter der kumulativen Rangfolgenkurve (SUCRA, „surface under the cumulative ranking curve“), ergab, stellte Upadacitinib 15 mg mit größter Wahrscheinlichkeit die beste Behandlung zur Erzielung der ACR20-Ansprechrate dar, es folgten Filgotinib 200 mg, Baricitinib 4 mg, Filgotinib 100 mg, Tofacitinib 5 mg und Placebo. Die auf der ACR50-Ansprechrate basierende SUCRA-Rangfolge zeigte, dass für Baricitinib 4 mg die höchste Wahrscheinlichkeit bestand, die ACR50-Ansprechrate zu erzielen, es folgten Filgotinib 200 mg, Tofacitinib 5 mg, Upadacitinib 15 mg, Filgotinib 100 mg und Placebo. Tofacitinib 5 mg wies eine signifikant höhere ACR70-Ansprechrate auf als Filgotinib 100 mg und Upadacitinib 15 mg. Für Tofacitinib 5 mg, Filgotinib 200 mg und Placebo zeigte sich eine signifikant niedrigere Rate schwerer unerwünschter Ereignisse als für Upadacitinib 15 mg.. Für RA-Patienten mit inadäquater Reaktion auf bDMARD erwiesen sich Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib und Filgotinib als wirksame Therapieoptionen, jedoch mit unterschiedlichen Wirksamkeits- und Sicherheitsprofilen.

Comparative study of the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib versus methotrexate for disease-modifying antirheumatic drug-naïve patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
An assessment of the relative efficacy and tolerability of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib compared to those of methotrexate (MTX) was performed in disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-naive patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We performed a Bayesian network meta-analysis to combine direct and indirect evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) so as to examine the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib, and MTX in DMARD-naïve RA patients. Four RCTs comprising 2185 patients met the inclusion criteria. The ranking probability based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) indicated that upadacitinib 15 mg had the highest probability of achieving the American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response rate, followed by baricitinib 4 mg, tofacitinib 5 mg, filgotinib 200 mg, and MTX. Tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib treatments achieved significantly higher ACR50 and ACR70 responses compared to MTX. Tofacitinib 5 mg had the highest probability of achieving the ACR50 and ACR70 response rates, followed by upadacitinib 15 mg, baricitinib 4 mg, filgotinib 200 mg, and MTX. The safety analysis based on serious adverse events, adverse events (AEs), and withdrawals due to AEs revealed no statistically significant differences between the respective intervention groups. In conclusion, tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib were effective treatment options for DMARD-naïve RA patients, suggesting a difference in efficacy and safety among the different JAK inhibitors.. Die relative Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit von Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib und Filgotinib wurde im Vergleich zu Methotrexat (MTX) bei DMARD-naiven („disease-modifying antirheumatic drug“) Patienten mit rheumatoider Arthritis (RA) untersucht. Die Autoren führten eine Netzwerk-Metaanalyse nach Bayes durch, um direkte und indirekte Evidenz aus randomisierten kontrollierten Studien (RCT) zu kombinieren und so die Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit von Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib, Filgotinib und MTX bei DMARD-naiven RA-Patienten zu ermitteln. Die Einschlusskriterien wurden von 4 RCT mit 2185 Patienten erfüllt. Die Ranking-Wahrscheinlichkeit auf Grundlage der Fläche unter der kumulativen Ranking-Kurve („surface under the cumulative ranking curve“, SUCRA) zeigte, dass unter Upadacitinib 15 mg die höchste Wahrscheinlichkeit zur Erzielung der Responserate gemäß American College of Rheumatology 20 % (ACR20) bestand, dann folgten Baricitinib 4 mg, Tofacitinib 5 mg, Filgotinib 200 mg und MTX. Die Behandlung mit Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib und Filgotinib führten zu signifikant höheren ACR50- und ACR70-Therapieantworten als MTX. Tofacitinib 5 mg wies die höchste Wahrscheinlichkeit für die Erzielung der ACR50- und ACR70-Responseraten auf, es folgten Upadacitinib 15 mg, Baricitinib 4 mg, Filgotinib 200 mg und MTX. Die Sicherheitsanalyse basierte auf den Parametern schwere unerwünschte Ereignisse, unerwünschte Ereignisse („adverse events“, AE) und Therapieabbruch aufgrund von AE, aber es waren keine statistisch signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den jeweiligen Interventionsgruppen festzustellen. Als Fazit ist festzuhalten, dass Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib und Filgotinib wirksame Therapieoptionen bei DMARD-naiven RA-Patienten waren, dabei ergaben sich Hinweise auf Unterschiede zwischen der Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit zwischen den verschiedenen JAK-Inhibitoren.

Points to consider for the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases with Janus kinase inhibitors: a consensus statement.
Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) have been approved for use in various immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. With five agents licensed, it was timely to summarise the current understanding of JAKi use based on a systematic literature review (SLR) on efficacy and safety.. Existing data were evaluated by a steering committee and subsequently reviewed by a 29 person expert committee leading to the formulation of a consensus statement that may assist the clinicians, patients and other stakeholders once the decision is made to commence a JAKi. The committee included patients, rheumatologists, a gastroenterologist, a haematologist, a dermatologist, an infectious disease specialist and a health professional. The SLR informed the Task Force on controlled and open clinical trials, registry data, phase 4 trials and meta-analyses. In addition, approval of new compounds by, and warnings from regulators that were issued after the end of the SLR search date were taken into consideration.. The Task Force agreed on and developed four general principles and a total of 26 points for consideration which were grouped into six areas addressing indications, treatment dose and comedication, contraindications, pretreatment screening and risks, laboratory and clinical follow-up examinations, and adverse events. Levels of evidence and strengths of recommendations were determined based on the SLR and levels of agreement were voted on for every point, reaching a range between 8.8 and 9.9 on a 10-point scale.. The consensus provides an assessment of evidence for efficacy and safety of an important therapeutic class with guidance on issues of practical management.

Venous Thromboembolism Risk With JAK Inhibitors: A Meta-Analysis.
JAK inhibitor therapies are effective treatment options for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), but their use has been limited by venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk warnings from licensing authorities. We undertook this study to evaluate the VTE risk of JAK inhibitors in patients with IMIDs.. Systematic searches of Medline and Embase databases from inception to September 30, 2020 were conducted. Phase II and phase III double-blind, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of JAK inhibitors at licensed doses were included in our analyses. RCTs with no placebo arm, long-term extension studies, post hoc analyses, and pooled analyses were excluded. Three researchers independently extracted data on exposure to JAK inhibitors or placebo and VTE events (e.g., pulmonary embolism [PE] and deep vein thrombosis [DVT]) and assessed study quality.. A total of 42 studies were included, from an initial search that yielded 619. There were 6,542 JAK inhibitor patient exposure years (PEYs) compared to 1,578 placebo PEYs. There were 15 VTE events in the JAK inhibitor group and 4 in the placebo group. The pooled incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of VTE, PE, and DVT in patients receiving JAK inhibitors were 0.68 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.36-1.29), 0.44 (95% CI 0.28-0.70), and 0.59 (95% CI 0.31-1.15), respectively.. This meta-analysis of RCT data defines the VTE risk with JAK inhibitors as a class in IMID patients. The pooled IRRs do not provide evidence that support the current warnings of VTE risk for JAK inhibitors. These findings will aid continued development of clinical guidelines for the use of JAK inhibitors in IMIDs.

Safety of Janus Kinase Inhibitors in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases or Other Immune-mediated Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Inhibitors of Janus kinases (JAKs) are being developed for treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases and other immune-mediated diseases. Tofacitinib is effective in treatment of ulcerative colitis, but there are safety concerns. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the safety profile of tofacitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib, and baricitinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, psoriasis, or ankylosing spondylitis.. We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from January 1, 1990, through July 1, 2019. We performed a manual review of conference databases from 2012 through 2018. The primary outcome was incidence rates of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs. We also estimated incidence rates of serious infections, herpes zoster infection, non-melanoma skin cancer, other malignancies, major cardiovascular events, venous thromboembolism, and mortality. We performed a meta-analysis, which included controlled studies, to assess the relative risk of these events.. We identified 973 studies; of these, 82 were included in the final analysis, comprising 66,159 patients with immune-mediated diseases who were exposed to a JAK inhibitor. Two-thirds of the included studies were randomized controlled trials. The incidence rate of AEs was 42.65 per 100 person-years and of serious AEs was 9.88 per 100 person-years. Incidence rates of serious infections, herpes zoster infection, malignancy, and major cardiovascular events were 2.81 per 100 person-years, 2.67 per 100 person-years, 0.89 per 100 person-years, and 0.48 per 100 person-years, respectively. Mortality was not increased in patients treated with JAK inhibitors compared with patients given placebo or active comparator (relative risk 0.72; 95% confidence interval 0.40-1.28). The meta-analysis showed a significant increase in risk of herpes zoster infection among patients who received JAK inhibitors (relative risk 1.57; 95% confidence interval 1.04-2.37).. In a systematic review and meta-analysis, we found an increased risk of herpes zoster infection among patients with immune-mediated diseases treated with JAK inhibitors. All other AEs were not increased among patients treated with JAK inhibitors.

JAK inhibitors in chronic plaque psoriasis: What is known so far.
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are novel small molecules with a mechanism of action in multiple signaling pathways that allows their application in a broad spectrum of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. As far as the field of dermatology is concerned, chronic plaque psoriasis is currently one of the most studied indications regarding the potential use of JAK inhibitors. The purpose of this review is to provide a summarized overview of the existing information on the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitors in plaque psoriasis, with a focus on tofacitinib, ruxolitinib, baricitinib, peficitinib and filgotinib. Although the published data on the therapeutic benefit of these agents in the therapy of this chronic condition are promising, further prospective studies and real-life data are necessary in order to sufficiently evaluate their role as an adequate treatment option for psoriatic patients.

Comparative efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib and peficitinib as monotherapy for active rheumatoid arthritis.
Several clinical trials have attempted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib and peficitinib as monotherapy in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but their relative efficacy and safety as monotherapy remain unclear due to the lack of data from head-to-head comparison trials. The relative efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib and peficitinib as monotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were assessed.. We performed a Bayesian network meta-analysis to combine direct and indirect evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and examine the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib and peficitinib as monotherapy relative to placebo in patients with RA.. Five RCTs comprising 1547 patients met the inclusion criteria. Compared with placebo, tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib and peficitinib as monotherapy showed a significantly higher American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response rate. Peficitinib 150 mg monotherapy showed the highest ACR20 response rate (odds ratio, 17.24.39; 95% credible interval, 6.57-51.80). The ranking probability based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve indicated that peficitinib 150 mg had the highest probability of being the best treatment for achieving the ACR20 response rate, followed by peficitinib 100 mg, filgotinib 200 mg, filgotinib 100 mg, tofacitinib 5 mg, upadacitinib 15 mg, baricitinib 4 mg and placebo. However, the number of patients who experienced serious adverse events did not differ significantly between the JAK inhibitors, except for tofacitinib 5 mg, and placebo.. All five JAK inhibitors-tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib and peficitinib-were efficacious monotherapy interventions for active RA, and differences were noted in their efficacy and safety in monotherapy.

JAK-STAT inhibitors: Immersing therapeutic approach for management of rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a world leading cause of musculoskeletal disease. With the introduction of biological agents as treatment alternatives the clinical possibilities have grown exponentially. Currently most common Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) treatment option involves intravenous or subcutaneous injection, and some patients struggle to respond to DMARDs or lose their primary reaction. An oral drug formulation with lowered costs of manufacturing and flexibility for healthcare workers to preferably perform treatment will result in decreased healthcare expenditures and increased medication compliance. The JAK-STAT inhibitors, a new class of small molecules drugs, fulfills these criteria and has recently shown efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis. Here we give a summary of how JAK-STAT inhibitors function and a detailed review of current clinical trials. Convincing clinical results suggest that therapeutic inhibition of the JAK proteins can effectively modulate a complex cytokine-driven inflammation.

Clinical efficacy of new JAK inhibitors under development. Just more of the same?
Janus kinase inhibition is promising in the treatment of RA, with already two oral drugs marketed. New compounds are under investigation that are more selective for Janus kinase 1 or Janus kinase 3. Phase II results for filgotinib, upadacitinib, peficitinib and decernotinib are reviewed showing almost consistently a fast dose-dependent clinical improvement similar to already approved drugs tofacitinib and baricitinib. I will reflect on the most frequently reported dose-dependent adverse events and laboratory changes. Some are similar for all drugs of this class, some are more specific for a certain drug, but all may influence future treatment effectiveness in daily practice. This implies the need for a critical evaluation of phase III trials, and eventually trials specifically powered for conclusions on the safety profile and registries once these drugs become marketed. These innovative drugs also need head-to-head trials versus biologics or in-class as well as specific strategy studies to determine their optimal future use.

Recent Progress in JAK Inhibitors for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation and joint destruction. Considerable advance in the treatment of RA has been made following the advent of biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). However, these biologics require intravenous or subcutaneous injection and some patients fail to respond to biological DMARDs or lose their primary response. Various cytokines and cell surface molecules bind to receptors on the cell surface, resulting in the activation of various cell signaling pathways, including phosphorylation of kinase proteins. Among these kinases, the non-receptor tyrosine kinase family Janus kinase (JAK) plays a pivotal role in the pathological processes of RA. Several JAK inhibitors have been developed as new therapies for patients with RA. These are oral synthetic DMARDs that inhibit JAK1, 2, and 3. One JAK inhibitor, tofacitinib, has already been approved in many countries. Results of phase III clinical trials using a JAK1/2 inhibitor, baricitinib, have shown feasible efficacy and tolerable safety. Both drugs are effective in patients who showed inadequate response to biological DMARDs as well as synthetic DMARDs. In addition, clinical phase III trials using filgotinib and ABT-494, specific JAK1 inhibitors, are currently underway. JAK inhibitors are novel therapies for RA, but further studies are needed to determine their risk-benefit ratio and selection of the most appropriate patients for such therapy.

Are all JAK inhibitors for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis equivalent? An adjusted indirect comparison of the efficacy of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib.
Comparisons of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in patients with inadequate response to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are lacking. We assessed the relative efficacy and safety of four JAKi (tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib) in this context.. We performed an adjusted indirect comparison (IC) of randomized clinical trials using Bucher's method with an IC and mixed calculator. Endpoints were Disease Activity Score C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) and American College of Rheumatology-20 (ACR20). Equivalence was assessed using the equivalent therapeutic alternatives (ETA) guidelines.. We included four of 133 potentially relevant studies. IC showed no statistically significant differences between the four JAKi regarding DAS28-CRP < 3.2. Results were similar in terms of ACR20 except for tofacitinib showing lower efficacy than upadacitinib (RAR -18.4% [IC95% -33.4 to -3.5], p=0.0157). Statistically significant differences were related to the relevant difference for tofacitinib in both endpoints. Despite no statistical differences for baricitinib, we observed a probably clinically relevant difference regarding DAS28-CRP. Probably clinically relevant differences were found for tofacitinib vs. upadacitinib in both endpoints, and for baricitinib vs. upadacitinib in DAS28-CRP. Safety, drug-drug interactions, and convenience considerations did not modify the result of therapeutic equivalence assessment based on efficacy data.. In conclusion, our results show that filgotinib and upadacitinib are ETA. Baricitinib and upadacitinib are also ETA due to a lack of clear differences and for showing superiority over placebo. The results for tofacitinib and upadacitinib show some inconsistency and more data are needed. Key Points • To date, neither a head-to-head comparison nor an indirect comparison between the Janus kinase inhibitors has been performed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. • We performed an adjusted indirect comparison that included randomized clinical trials of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib to assess their equivalence in this scenario. • Our results show that baricitinib and filgotinib are equivalent therapeutic alternatives compared to upadacitinib. However, there is some inconsistency in the results of tofacitinib in front of upadacitinib.

JAK selectivity and the implications for clinical inhibition of pharmacodynamic cytokine signalling by filgotinib, upadacitinib, tofacitinib and baricitinib.
Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKinibs) are efficacious in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with variable reported rates of adverse events, potentially related to differential JAK family member selectivity. Filgotinib was compared with baricitinib, tofacitinib and upadacitinib to elucidate the pharmacological basis underlying its clinical efficacy and safety.. In vitro JAKinib inhibition of signal transducer and activator of transcription phosphorylation (pSTAT) was measured by flow cytometry in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and whole blood from healthy donors and patients with RA following cytokine stimulation of distinct JAK/STAT pathways. The average daily pSTAT and time above 50% inhibition were calculated at clinical plasma drug exposures in immune cells. The translation of these measures was evaluated in ex vivo-stimulated assays in phase 1 healthy volunteers.. JAKinib potencies depended on cytokine stimulus, pSTAT readout and cell type. JAK1-dependent pathways (interferon (IFN)α/pSTAT5, interleukin (IL)-6/pSTAT1) were among the most potently inhibited by all JAKinibs in healthy and RA blood, with filgotinib exhibiting the greatest selectivity for JAK1 pathways. Filgotinib (200 mg once daily) had calculated average daily target inhibition for IFNα/pSTAT5 and IL-6/pSTAT1 that was equivalent to tofacitinib (5 mg two times per day), upadacitinib (15 mg once daily) and baricitinib (4 mg once daily), with the least average daily inhibition for the JAK2-dependent and JAK3-dependent pathways including IL-2, IL-15, IL-4 (JAK1/JAK3), IFNγ (JAK1/JAK2), granulocyte colony stimulating factor, IL-12, IL-23 (JAK2/tyrosine kinase 2) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (JAK2/JAK2). Ex vivo pharmacodynamic data from phase 1 healthy volunteers clinically confirmed JAK1 selectivity of filgotinib.. Filgotinib inhibited JAK1-mediated signalling similarly to other JAKinibs, but with less inhibition of JAK2-dependent and JAK3-dependent pathways, providing a mechanistic rationale for its apparently differentiated efficacy:safety profile.

Targeting JAK-STAT Signalling Alters PsA Synovial Fibroblast Pro-Inflammatory and Metabolic Function.
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with psoriasis. Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAKi) have emerged as an encouraging class of drugs for the treatment of PsA. Here, we compare the effect of four JAKi on primary PsA synovial fibroblasts (PsAFLS) activation, metabolic function, and invasive and migratory capacity.. Primary PsAFLS were isolated and cultured with JAKi (Peficitinib, Filgotinib, Baricitinib and Upadacitinib) in the presence of Oncostatin M (OSM). pSTAT3 expression in response to OSM was quantified by Western Blot analysis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines were quantified by ELISA and cell migration by wound-repair scratch assays. Invasive capacity was examined using Matrigel™ invasion chambers and MMP multiplex MSD assays. PsAFLS bioenergetics was assessed using the Seahorse XF. OSM induces pSTAT3 expression in PsAFLS. OSM-induced secretion of MCP-1 and IL-6 was inhibited by all JAKi with Peficitinib, Baricitinib and Upadacitinib showing the greatest effect. In contrast, JAKi had no significant impact on IL-8 expression in response to OSM. PsAFLS cell invasion, migratory capacity and MMP1, 3, and 9 were suppressed following JAKi treatment, with Peficitinib showing the greatest effect. These functional effects were accompanied by a change in the cellular bioenergetic profile of PsAFLS, where JAKi significantly decreased glycolysis and the ECAR/OCR, resulting in a shift to a more quiescent phenotype, with Peficitinib demonstrating the most pronounced effect.. This study demonstrates that JAK/STAT signalling mediates the complex interplay between inflammation and cellular metabolism in PsA pathogenesis. This inhibition shows effective suppression of inflammatory mechanisms that drive pathogenic functions of PsAFLS, further supporting the role of JAKi as a therapeutic target for the treatment of PsA.

Relative efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib in comparison to adalimumab in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis.
The relative efficacy and tolerability of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib compared to adalimumab were assessed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with inadequate responses to methotrexate (MTX).. We performed a Bayesian network meta-analysis to combine direct and indirect evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to examine the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, filgotinib, and adalimumab in RA patients with inadequate responses to MTX.. Four RCTs comprising 5451 patients met the inclusion criteria. Baricitinib 4 mg + MTX and upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX showed a significantly higher American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response rate than adalimumab 40 mg + MTX. Ranking probability based on the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) indicated that baricitinib 4 mg + MTX had the highest probability of being the best treatment for achieving the ACR20 response rate, followed by upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX, tofacitinib 5 mg + MTX, filgotinib 200 mg + MTX, filgotinib 100 mg + MTX, adalimumab 40 mg + MTX, and placebo + MTX. Upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX and baricitinib 4 mg + MTX showed significantly higher ACR50 and ACR70 response rates than adalimumab 40 mg + MTX. For herpes zoster infection, the ranking probability based on SUCRA indicated that placebo + MTX was likely to be the safest treatment, followed by filgotinib 200 mg + MTX, filgotinib 100 mg + MTX, adalimumab 40 mg + MTX, tofacitinib 5 mg + MTX, upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX, and baricitinib 4 mg + MTX. No statistically significant differences were found between the intervention groups in terms of safety.. In RA patients with an inadequate response to MTX, baricitinib 4 mg + MTX and upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX showed the highest ACR response rates, suggesting a difference in efficacy among the different JAK inhibitors.. ZIEL DER ARBEIT: Bei Patienten mit rheumatoider Arthritis (RA) und inadäquatem Ansprechen auf Methotrexat (Mtx) wurde die relative Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit von Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib und Filgotinib im Vergleich zu Adalimumab untersucht.. Die Autoren führten eine Bayes-Netzwerk-Metaanalyse durch, um direkte und indirekte Evidenz aus randomisierten kontrollierten Studien (RCT) zu kombinieren und so die Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit von Tofacitinib, Baricitinib, Upadacitinib, Filgotinib und Adalimumab bei RA-Patienten mit inadäquatem Ansprechen auf MTX zu untersuchen.. Die Einschlusskriterien wurden von 4 RCT mit 5451 Patienten erfüllt. Unter Baricitinib 4 mg + MTX und Upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX zeigte sich eine signifikant höhere ACR20-Ansprechrate (gemäß American College of Rheumatology) als unter Adalimumab 40 mg + MTX. Wie die Rangfolgewahrscheinlichkeit, basierend auf der Oberfläche unter der kumulativen Rangfolgenkurve (SUCRA, „surface under the cumulative ranking curve“), ergab, stellte Baricitinib 4 mg + MTX mit größter Wahrscheinlichkeit die beste Behandlung zur Erzielung der ACR20-Ansprechrate dar, es folgten Upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX, Tofacitinib 5 mg + MTX, Filgotinib 200 mg + MTX, Filgotinib 100 mg + MTX, Adalimumab 40 mg + MTX und Placebo + MTX. Upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX und Baricitinib 4 mg + MTX wiesen signifikant höhere ACR50- und ACR70-Ansprechraten auf als Adalimumab 40 mg + MTX. In Bezug auf eine Herpes-zoster-Infektion ergab die auf SUCRA basierende Rangfolgewahrscheinlichkeit, dass Placebo + MTX am ehesten die sicherste Therapie darstellte, dem folgten Filgotinib 200 mg + MTX, Filgotinib 100 mg + MTX, Adalimumab 40 mg + MTX, Tofacitinib 5 mg + MTX, Upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX und Baricitinib 4 mg + MTX. Es wurden keine statistisch signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den Interventionsgruppen hinsichtlich der Sicherheit festgestellt.. Bei RA-Patienten mit inadäquatem Ansprechen auf MTX ergaben Baricitinib 4 mg + MTX und Upadacitinib 15 mg + MTX die höchsten ACR-Ansprechraten, was ein Hinweis auf einen Unterschied in der Wirksamkeit der verschiedenen JAK-Inhibitoren sein könnte.

Janus kinase inhibitors for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis demonstrate similar profiles of in vitro cytokine receptor inhibition.
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have emerged as an effective class of therapies for various inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). JAK inhibitors function intracellularly by modulating the catalytic activity of JAKs and disrupting the receptor-mediated signaling of multiple cytokines and growth factors, including those with pro-inflammatory activity. Understanding the inhibition profiles of different JAK inhibitors, based on the associated cytokine receptors and downstream inflammatory pathways affected, is important to identify the potential mechanisms for observed differences in efficacy and safety. This study applied an integrated modeling approach, using in vitro whole blood cytokine inhibition potencies and plasma pharmacokinetics, to determine JAK-dependent cytokine receptor inhibition profiles, in the context of doses estimated to provide a similar clinical response in RA clinical trials. The calculated profiles of cytokine receptor inhibition for the JAK inhibitors tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and filgotinib and its metabolite, were generally similar when clinically efficacious doses for RA were considered. Only minor numerical differences in percentage cytokine receptor inhibition were observed, suggesting limited differentiation of these inhibitors based on JAK pharmacology, with each showing a differential selectivity for JAK1 heterodimer inhibition. Nevertheless, only robust clinical testing involving head-to-head studies will ultimately determine whether there are clinically meaningful differences between these JAK inhibitors. Furthermore, ongoing and future research into inhibitors with alternative JAK selectivity remains of clinical importance. Thus, all JAK inhibitors should be characterized via thorough preclinical, metabolic and pharmacological evaluation, adequate long-term clinical data, and when available, real-world experience.
