Résumé

Data assessing longer-term real-world effectiveness and treatment patterns with upadacitinib (UPA), a Janus kinase inhibitor, in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are lacking. We assessed improvement in clinical and patient-reported outcomes and treatment patterns for up to 12 months among adult patients with RA initiating UPA. Data were collected from the CorEvitas Patients treated with UPA (6-month cohort, N = 469; 12-month cohort, N = 263) had statistically significant improvements (p < 0.001) in mean CDAI, tender/swollen joint counts, pain, and fatigue at follow-up. At 12 months, 46.0% achieved MCID in CDAI and 40.0% achieved low disease activity/remission. Overall, 43.0% discontinued UPA at 12 months; of those receiving combination treatment (N = 90) with conventional therapies and UPA, 42.2% (N = 38) discontinued conventional therapy. Findings were similar in the 6-month cohort and among subgroups. Changes from baseline and proportions of patients achieving MCID or clinical outcomes tended to be numerically lower among patients with TNFi experience and numerically higher among those receiving UPA as first-line therapy. UPA initiation was associated with improvements in clinical and patient-reported outcomes, with meaningful clinical improvements regardless of prior TNFi experience, line of therapy, or concomitant use of conventional therapies. Further research is needed to better understand sustained response of UPA over longer treatment periods.
