Efficacy of synthetic and biological DMARDs: a systematic literature review informing the 2022 update of the EULAR recommendations for the management of rheumatoid arthritis

Andreas Kerschbaumer et al.

Summary: This study aimed to update the evidence on the efficacy of DMARDs and provide information for the 2022 update of EULAR recommendations for RA management. A systematic literature review was conducted to investigate the efficacy of cs, b, biosimilar, and tsDMARDs in RA patients. The results showed that csDMARDs combined with short-term glucocorticoids in early RA were as effective as bDMARD+MTX combination therapy. JAK inhibitors were effective in different patient populations. Tapering of DMARDs was feasible for some patients who could maintain low disease activity or achieve remission.

EULAR recommendations for the management of rheumatoid arthritis with synthetic and biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs: 2022 update

Josef S. Smolen et al.

Summary: This study provides an update on the management recommendations for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on the latest developments in the field. The recommendations cover various aspects including medication use, combination therapy, treatment strategies, and dose reduction. The consensus was reached on 5 overarching principles and 11 specific recommendations.

Incidence, Risk Factors, and Mortality of Clinical and Subclinical Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: A Population-Based Cohort

Bilal F. Samhouri et al.

Summary: This study investigated the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) and assessed time trends. The study found that RA-ILD occurs in nearly 1 in 6 patients with RA within 20 years and is associated with shorter survival. However, the incidence of RA-ILD has not significantly changed in almost 60 years.

Factors affecting drug retention of Janus kinase inhibitors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: the ANSWER cohort study

Kosuke Ebina et al.

Summary: This multi-center, retrospective study aimed to identify the factors affecting drug retention of Janus kinase inhibitors in RA patients. Ineffectiveness and toxic adverse events were the most common reasons for drug discontinuation.

Effectiveness of TNF-inhibitors, abatacept, IL6-inhibitors and JAK-inhibitors in 31 846 patients with rheumatoid arthritis in 19 registers from the 'JAK-pot' collaboration

Kim Lauper et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of four different second-line therapies of rheumatoid arthritis and found that the overall drug discontinuation and 1-year response rates of JAKi and IL-6i were similar to TNFi. JAKi were more often discontinued for adverse events and less for ineffectiveness compared to TNFi.

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.

Filgotinib versus placebo or adalimumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and inadequate response to methotrexate: a phase III randomised clinical trial

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.

Comparison of the drug retention and reasons for discontinuation of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors and interleukin-6 inhibitors in Japanese patients with elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis-the ANSWER cohort study

Sadao Jinno et al.

Summary: This study compared the drug retention rates and reasons for discontinuation between tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) and interleukin-6 inhibitors (IL-6i) in elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) patients. It found that IL-6i had significantly higher drug retention rates than TNFi, with less frequent discontinuation due to lack of effectiveness in the IL-6i group.
