Tofacitinib and risk of cardiovascular outcomes: results from the Safety of TofAcitinib in Routine care patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (STAR-RA) study

Farzin Khosrow-Khavar et al.

Summary: The study did not find evidence of increased cardiovascular risk with tofacitinib in patients with RA in a real-world setting. However, tofacitinib was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes, although statistically non-significant, in patients with RA with cardiovascular risk factors.

Cardiovascular and Cancer Risk with Tofacitinib in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Steven R. Ytterberg et al.

Summary: In this trial comparing the use of tofacitinib with a TNF inhibitor in a cardiovascular risk-enriched population, the risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and cancers were found to be higher with tofacitinib, and it did not meet noninferiority criteria. Several adverse events were more common with tofacitinib.

Filgotinib in combination with methotrexate or as monotherapy versus methotrexate monotherapy in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and limited or no prior exposure to methotrexate: the phase 3, randomised controlled FINCH 3 trial

Rene Westhovens et al.

Summary: The study showed that Filgotinib significantly improved symptoms and physical function in active RA patients treated in combination with MTX, while FIL200 monotherapy did not show a significant advantage in ACR20 response rate compared to MTX.

Bernard Combe et al.

Summary: Filgotinib showed significant efficacy in improving signs and symptoms of RA, as well as physical function, while also being well-tolerated in patients with inadequate response to MTX. Filgotinib at a dose of 200mg was non-inferior to adalimumab.

JAK selectivity and the implications for clinical inhibition of pharmacodynamic cytokine signalling by filgotinib, upadacitinib, tofacitinib and baricitinib

Paqui G. Traves et al.

Summary: JAKinibs, including filgotinib, show varying degrees of potency in inhibiting different JAK-dependent pathways in both healthy and RA blood. Filgotinib demonstrates the highest selectivity for JAK1 pathways compared to other JAKinibs, with less inhibition of JAK2-dependent and JAK3-dependent pathways. Ex vivo pharmacodynamic data from phase 1 healthy volunteers confirms the JAK1 selectivity of filgotinib.

JAK inhibitors: Ten years after

Francesca Romana Spinelli et al.

Summary: The European Journal of Immunology was launched 50 years ago during a period of discovery of many cytokines and growth factors, leading to advancements in targeted biologic therapies. The discovery of Janus kinases (JAK) and subsequent development of JAK inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of immune and inflammatory diseases, with multiple jakinibs now approved for various indications including COVID-19.

JAK1: Number one in the family; number one in inflammation?

Francesca Romana Spinelli et al.

Summary: JAK1 is a key player in the signaling pathway of various cytokines, and selective JAK1 inhibitors are potential treatments for inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis. While JAK1 is crucial for bone homeostasis and synovial inflammation, its role in new bone formation in axial spondyloarthritis needs further investigation.

Impact of Different JAK Inhibitors and Methotrexate on Lymphocyte Proliferation and DNA Damage

Annika Reddig et al.

Summary: JAKis present a new strategy in rheumatoid arthritis therapy, with similar inhibitory effects on lymphocyte proliferation but potential detrimental effects on cell viability and DNA damage repair at high doses. The study provides insights into the immunomodulatory effects of different JAKis and their impact on PBMCs.

Sarfaraz A. Hasni et al.

Summary: Increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is mitigated by the Janus kinase inhibitor tofacitinib, demonstrated in a Phase 1 double-blind randomized trial in SLE patients where tofacitinib showed safety and improvements in cardiometabolic and immunologic parameters.

Untwining Anti-Tumor and Immunosuppressive Effects of JAK Inhibitors-A Strategy for Hematological Malignancies?

Klara Klein et al.

Summary: The JAK-STAT pathway is aberrantly activated in many cancers, and inhibition of this pathway via JAK inhibitors suppresses the immune system. This review article provides an overview of the effects of JAKinibs on immune cells in hematological malignancies and discusses their potential use in diseases where lymphocytes are the source of malignancy. A robust immune profiling is necessary to maximize the benefit for JAKinib-treated patients.

Safety profile of upadacitinib in rheumatoid arthritis: integrated analysis from the SELECT phase III clinical programme

Stanley B. Cohen et al.

Summary: In the phase III clinical trials for RA, patients treated with upadacitinib at 15 mg and 30 mg doses had higher rates of upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis, and urinary tract infection compared to those on methotrexate and adalimumab. Serious infection rates were similar between upadacitinib 15 mg and adalimumab, but higher than methotrexate, while rates of herpes zoster and CPK elevations were higher with both upadacitinib doses. Rates of deaths, malignancies, MACEs, and VTEs were similar across all treatment groups.

Points to consider for the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases with Janus kinase inhibitors: a consensus statement

Peter Nash et al.

Summary: The use of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases has been extensively reviewed to provide guidance on efficacy and safety. A consensus statement was formed by an expert committee, evaluating 26 key points in six areas, with high levels of agreement and evidence-based recommendations. This consensus offers valuable insights for the practical management of JAKi in clinical practice.
