Background: Gastrointestinal perforations have been reported in a small number of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in clinical trials. However, large-scale postmarketing data repositories are needed to further investigate this potentially rare but serious adverse event.

Methods: A retrospective, pharmacovigilance study of the FDA adverse event reporting system (July 2014 to September 2023) assessing the reporting of gastrointestinal perforations following JAK inhibitors compared to biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) in RA patients.

Objectives: To compare effectiveness of tofacitinib versus tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), and across tofacitinib lines of therapy, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), using US CorEvitas RA Registry data.

Methods: Analysis included patients with RA initiating tofacitinib or TNFi with a 12-month follow-up visit between November 2012-February 2021. Primary (Clinical Disease Activity Index-defined low disease activity [CDAI-LDA: CDAI ≤ 10]) and secondary (clinical/disease activity/patient-reported) effectiveness outcomes were assessed at month 12.

Small molecule Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have revolutionized the management of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) through their low immunogenicity, safety, and consistent pharmacologic response that are superior to existing therapeutic options. In this perspective, we highlight existing evidence supporting the use of currently approved JAK inhibitors (upadacitinib, tofacitinib, and filgotinib) for UC or CD, additionally emphasizing the evidence for their use in related autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthropathies. Our perspective concludes with a review of the existing comparative effectiveness literature, which positions JAK inhibitors, particularly upadacitinib, favorably compared with other biologic therapies.

Janus kinase-inhibitors (JAK-i) have recently been approved for treating patients with Ulcerative Colitis (); therefore, further information is needed, particularly regarding efficacy and safety. To provide a comprehensive review regarding the efficacy and safety of currently available JAK-i in UC. The PubMed and Scopus databases were considered, searching for 'JAK', 'JAK-inhibitor', 'Janus Kinases', 'Tofacitinib', 'Filgotinib', 'Upadacitinib', individually or in combination with 'IBD', 'Ulcerative Colitis', 'safety', 'efficacy', 'study' and 'trial'.

Article Synopsis
  • Tyrosine kinase inhibitors like tofacitinib (TCB) are effective in treating psoriasis, and this study aims to enhance TCB's effectiveness while minimizing side effects through a new topical emulgel formulation.
  • The emulgel was created by combining TCB with various ingredients, resulting in a formulation with ideal viscosity, firmness, and controlled release of the drug over 24 hours.
  • The new TCB-emulgel showed significantly improved anti-psoriatic effects in a mouse model, reducing psoriasis severity scores and inflammation markers compared to existing treatments, supporting its potential for clinical use in managing psoriasis.
