Peficitinib, a JAK Inhibitor, in the Treatment of Moderate‐to‐Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis in Patients With an Inadequate Response to Methotrexate

Abstract

The ACR20 response rate in the group receiving peficitinib 50 mg plus MTX was significantly different compared with the rate in patients receiving placebo, but there were no apparent dose-dependent responses, and the placebo response rate was high. Peficitinib plus MTX in patients with moderate-to-severe RA was well tolerated, with limited safety signals emerging.
