Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the real-world effectiveness and persistence of three types of first-line therapies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA): etanercept (ETN), adalimumab (ADA), and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis).
  • An analysis of data from patients beginning these treatments in the CorEvitas RA Registry was conducted to evaluate treatment persistence and changes in disease activity over 6 and 12 months.
  • While both ETN and ADA showed a slightly higher success rate in achieving low disease activity and remission compared to JAKis at 6 months, the overall adjusted effectiveness between the groups was similar, and most patients remained on therapy regardless of the treatment initiation.
