Article Synopsis
  • CPPD disease is a significant cause of arthritis that can resemble other rheumatic conditions, making accurate diagnosis crucial.
  • A deep-learning algorithm was developed and tested to automatically detect CPPD features in hand radiographs, focusing specifically on certain joint areas.
  • The combined model for detecting CPPD showed strong performance metrics, with a mean AUROC of 0.86 and good sensitivity and specificity, while separate models for different joint areas had varying success rates.

Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, and Saitama Medical University, Saitama, Japan.

Objectives: To describe safety and efficacy of filgotinib 200 or 100 mg (FIL200/FIL100) in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis in a long-term extension (LTE; NCT03025308).

Methods: Patients who completed any of three parent studies (NCT02889796: inadequate response [IR] to methotrexate [MTX]; NCT02873936: IR to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs; NCT02886728: MTX-naïve) without rescue therapy could enter the LTE; patients taking FIL continued their dosage, and those who received comparators were rerandomised to FIL200 or FIL100. This analysis includes week 156 interim results.

Background: Janus kinase inhibitors are an effective option for achieving sustained remission or low disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) following inadequate response to conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Filgotinib is a Janus kinase 1-preferential inhibitor available in two doses for moderate-to-severe RA. We report the long-term efficacy and safety of filgotinib.
