TNF inhibitor

Crude drug retention at 1 year was 65% for JAKi, significantly lower than for other modes of action (74%) and TNFi (77%). These results are driven by the severity of the disease of patients on JAKi compared to other MOA. Aymon R Abst#1692 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/LPDpWdjoLg https://t.co/Ztaz94omd9

Obs study, bDMARDs & malignancy
TNFi w/lower risk than ABA/RTX/IL6i & numerically lower than JAKs
I'm a little skeptical... KM curves diverged w/~45 days, seems implausible?
Agree w/first author, possible channeling bias

Sendaydiego et al. Comparative cancer safety b/tsDMARDs. 37,026 patient database cohort study. Compared to TNFi, RTX HR 2.2 (1.5, 3.3) ABA HR 1.7 (1.3-2.4), JAKi HR 1.3 (0.9-1.9). Abstr#1678 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/bTNtaNJrln https://t.co/qQBM2F2q8N

Ritux (OR 2.2), ABA (OR 1.3), JAKi (OR 1.3) significantly increase risk of cancer vs. TNFi
Cohort of 37000+ RA pts starting bio/tsDMARDs (379 incident cancers)
True biologic effect or confounding by indication in a generally more comorbid population?

Cancer risk minimisation is a high priority for people with rheumatic diseases, as it is for the general population. Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) have a long history of association with…

Large observational study of TNF use among patients with RA & cancer
Overall encouraging, no negative impact on survival
I'm kind of a TNF-truther on this; I don't think they cause ANY increased risk of malignancy

2 RA cohorts w/Breast Cancer
17% TNFi within 1yr after surgery
No diff in overall survival at 5 yr w/ TNFi or csDMARD
Trend towards better BC specific survival w/ TNFi vs. csDMARD only
Worst survival for GC>7.5mg/day
Only 2 yrs follow up

Does TNFi use in pts with RA and early breast cancer affect survival?
TNFi did not affect overall survival or breast cancer specific survival compared to cDMARDs
Steroids did increase mortality
