Tofacitinib in combination with nonbiologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis: a randomized trial. Background: Many patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) do not achieve adequate and safe responses with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). To.....
We found that 2D4 exhibited superior effectiveness over Belimumab in protecting SLE mice against renal damage, underscoring its potential as a more robust therapeutic option for SLE. JAK inhibitors, such as Tofacitinib, also target multiple immune cells to treat autoimmune diseases by interfering with...
There are no prospective, head-to-head, controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of Infliximab (IFX) and Vedolizumab (VDZ) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC), while only a few real-life retrospective studies have b

Clinical efficacy of JAKinibs and adalimumab was compared in RCTs of tofacitinib, baricitinib, and upadacitinib. Adalimumab is used as a standard-of-care biologic DMARD for RA with moderate-to-severe disease activity. The results were summarised in Table 2. In MTX-IR patients with RA, tofaci...
Common Biologic DMARDs include: abatacept (Orencia) adalimumab (Humira) anakinra (Kineret) baricitinib (Olumiant) certolizumab (Cimzia) etanercept (Enbrel) golimumab (Simponi) infliximab (Remicade) rituximab (Rituxan) sarilumab (Kevzara) tocilizumab (Actemra) tofacitinib (Xeljanz) Nonsteroidal anti-...
Janus kinase (JAK) Inhibitor – a new drug called tofacitinib (Xeljanz) Corticosteroids Analgesics (painkillers) Drugs used to reduce pain (analgesics) and inflammation (NSAIDs) are often considered "first-line" drugs as they are fast-acting and can relieve symptoms quickly. Medications such as ...
surgery and hospitalizations. Many patients with IBD require biologic therapy to achieve and maintain clinical and endoscopic remission, and antitumour necrosis factor antibodies remain the first-line biologic therapy in most areas of the world. Unfortunately, up to one-third of patients receiving this...
a target. It also encourages one to match the drug and patient earlier in treatment when the particular disease or comorbidities match better with non-TNF inhibitors. However, I am concerned about the less embracing use of the first kinase inhibitor (i.e., to...
