The Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) class has been increasingly used in the management of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) over the past five years, offering effective oral alternatives to injectable biologics. But are all JAK inhibitors the same?

Who does better in active #RA
b/tsDMARD naive?
Pt choice TNFi or JAKi
OR
Pt randomized to
TNFI or JAKi?
Strangely or not
PT choice did better
✅with satisfaction ~maybe expected
✅better retention on chosen #Rx
🤔unexpected
another arm in #RCTS?”

Updated SLR on D2T #RA (131 studies): JAKi maintain ACR20 even after 2-3 prior bDMARDs, with UPA outperforming ABA in head-to-head. But evidence on non-pharmacologic strategies in D2T RA remains nearly absent. Clear gap for future trials. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1246

SELECT-Axis 2 trial and Withdrawal of Upadacitinib - Of 734 pts, 194 were in remission at wk104--> UPA w/d & 22% maintained drug-free remission for >48wks. Rest flared, median time to flare: 3.1 mos (89% regained LDA by wk24 w/ restart) #EULAR2026 #axSpA POS1350 https://t.co/7A7CAHxLxX

Risk of Parkinsons? RA patients have 28% lower Parkinson's risk vs general population (HR 0.72); axSpA had HIGHER risk (HR 1.29). Non-TNF biologics in RA reduced PD risk further (HR 0.74). No effect seen in PsA/axSpA. #EULAR2026 Abstr #POS1116 https://t.co/1vZoZGEu5Z

What happens after withdrawal of upadacitinib in patients with axSpA who achieved remission?
Data from 194 patients from the SELECT-AXIS2 RCT:
▶️ Remission maintained in 1/4 at48 weeks

#EULAR2026 LB0009 It’s like opening Pandora’s box! 2 Open Label RCTs Baricitinib vs TNF-i in RA & =>1 VTE risk:
-VTE:Non-inferiority of BARI wasn’t met (in line with JAK profile)
-No increase in MACE/Cancer (opposed to Oral-Surveillance: TOFA & =>1 MACE risk) @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/nNwtJ3LbkD

#EULAR2026 LB0005 More promising news in #PMR. Phase 3 RCT of Baricitinib + GC Taper in N=46:
Part 1: BARI vs PBO 65% vs 17% GC-Free Remission at WK16
2: PBO-BARI improved response 17% to 65% at WK28
3: Lower remission rate in those stopped BARI vs continued at WK44 @RheumNow https://t.co/D77aHcACJE
