Risk of major adverse cardiovascular events with tofacitinib versus tumour necrosis factor inhibitors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with or without a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: a post hoc analysis from ORAL Surveillance

Christina Charles-Schoeman et al.

Summary: This post hoc analysis observed a higher risk of MACE associated with tofacitinib compared to TNFi in RA patients with a history of ASCVD. Among patients without a history of ASCVD but with prevalent CV risk factors, there does not appear to be a difference in MACE risk between tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily and TNFi, although any absolute risk excess is likely low.

Immune system activation in polymyalgia rheumatica: Which balance between autoinflammation and autoimmunity? A systematic review

Elvis Hysa et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the immune system activation mechanisms in polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and found that both the innate and adaptive immune systems play important roles in its pathogenesis and disease progression. The results showed that there are abnormalities in the innate immune system of PMR patients, and cytokines such as interleukin-6 play a key role in the disease process. The adaptive immune system also undergoes changes, including T cell polarization, immunosenescence, and downregulated immune regulatory response. The study also found an interaction between the innate and adaptive immune systems. Although several autoantibodies have been detected in PMR patients, they do not seem to correlate with disease activity.

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.

Tocilizumab in patients with new onset polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR-SPARE): a phase 2/3 randomised controlled trial

Michael Bonelli et al.

Summary: In patients with newly diagnosed polymyalgia rheumatica undergoing rapid glucocorticoid tapering, tocilizumab showed superior effectiveness compared to placebo in achieving sustained glucocorticoid-free remission, longer time to relapse, and lower cumulative glucocorticoid dose.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of tocilizumab vs placebo in patients with glucocorticoid-dependent polymyalgia rheumatica. The results showed that tocilizumab group had significantly better outcomes in the primary and 11 secondary endpoints at 24 weeks compared to the placebo group.

Predicting the risk of relapse in polymyalgia rheumatica: novel insights

Diana Prieto-Pena et al.

Summary: Relapses are common in PMR, especially when the prednisone dose is below 5-7.5 mg/day. The speed of glucocorticoid tapering is considered a key factor influencing the development of relapses in isolated PMR. Genetic factors, such as HLA-DRB1*0401 alleles, may also increase the risk of relapse. Biomarkers like elevated levels of angiopoietin-2 may indicate a poor prognosis in PMR. Methotrexate and tocilizumab may be necessary for PMR patients with multiple relapses.

SARS-CoV-2 drives JAK1/2-dependent local complement hyperactivation

Bingyu Yan et al.

Summary: Patients with COVID-19 present a wide range of acute clinical manifestations, affecting the lungs, liver, kidneys, and gut. Research has found that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces high activation of the complement system intracellularly in respiratory epithelial cells, with distinct complement activation signatures in cells from patients. Combination therapy with JAK inhibitors and drugs that normalize NF-kappa B signaling could potentially have clinical application for severe COVID-19 patients, by inhibiting C3a production.
