Abstract
- Objective: We evaluated remission rates and their relationship with baseline characteristics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with the oral Janus kinase inhibitor peficitinib. Methods: This post hoc analysis of data from two Phase 3 studies (RAJ3 and RAJ4) of peficitinib (100 and 150 mg/day) in Asian rheumatoid arthritis patients investigated clinical disease activity index (CDAI) remission and low disease activity rates from baseline to Week 52. CDAI, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index, and van der Heijde–modified total Sharp score remission/low disease activity rates at Week 52 were evaluated among patients achieving CDAI remission at Weeks 12/28. Logistic regression analyses explored the relationship between baseline characteristics and CDAI remission/low disease activity rates. Results: CDAI remission rates increased over time in a dose-dependent manner in both peficitinib-treated groups. Most patients achieving CDAI remission at Weeks 12/28 also achieved remission at Week 52. Following the multivariate analysis of demographic and baseline characteristics, factors associated with the achievement of CDAI remission at Week 28 included male sex, low baseline prednisone dose (RAJ3 only), and low baseline Disease Activity Score 28-C-reactive protein (RAJ4 only). Conclusions: Peficitinib demonstrated persistent efficacy in clinical remission to Week 52. Baseline characteristics associated with CDAI remission were mostly consistent with previous studies using other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
