Drug Safety

      For the last several years, conversations about JAK inhibitors have often started and ended with safety. The shadow cast by ORAL Surveillance has made clinicians more cautious and regulators more restrictive. Yet in practice, many of us continue to reach for upadacitinib when we face challenges in treatment, from rheumatoid arthritis to axial spondyloarthritis.

      Head to head study of Secukinumab vs Ustekinumab. In TNFi-experienced PsA patients, the AgAIN trial shows secukinumab performed better than ustekinumab in HAQ-DI response (57.1% vs 27.0%, p=0.002) and across all endpoints (joint counts, pain, and skin outcomes). Fewer https://t.co/CDCWkLF5TW

      In a retrospective TrinetX analysis of 3 year safety outcome in AS, JAKi use was linked to higher mortality and GI bleeding vs TNFi, but lower malignancy risk. Infection rates were similar, with a trend toward more herpes zoster in JAKi users. Abstract#2633 @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/pPY0wpAKA3

      DMARD exposure overall during pregnancy is not associated with severe maternal or neonatal morbidity, in this Ontario cohort. We’re getting better at finding a balance with DMARDs that is safe for both mother and baby. Blanket resistance is harmful #ACR25 ABST2627 @RheumNow https://t.co/oDOpySGS3N
