DISEASE CONTROL IN AS1-3

Not an actual AS or nr-axSpA patient

RINVOQ achieved its primary endpoint of ASAS40 at Week 14
with responses observed at Week 4, up to 2 years.1-3

INDICATION

RINVOQ is indicated for the treatment of adults with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to one or more tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers.

Limitations of Use: RINVOQ is not recommended for use in combination with other Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), or with potent immunosuppressants such as azathioprine and cyclosporine.

SELECT-AXIS 2 Study 1: AS Design Intro:

14-week, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study of 420 patients with active AS who had an intolerance or inadequate response to at least 2 NSAIDs and bDMARDs. Patients were randomized to receive RINVOQ 15 mg once daily or placebo. Patients could continue background NSAIDs. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ASAS40 response at Week 14 vs placebo.1,2

Durable efficacy of RINVOQ 15 mg over time in Select-AXIS 2 study 1 (AS ASDAS-CRP LDA and rates up to 2 years): Biologic DMARD-IR patient percentages plotted against weeks. Notable points: Week 14 (46% and Placebo 11%), Week 52 (66%), Week 104 or 2 years (71%).

RINVOQ is indicated for TNFi-IR patients.

In an As Observed (AO) analysis, patients with missing data at a specific time are not included, which may enrich the population and increase the response rates. 

OLE LIMITATIONS: There is potential for enrichment of OLE data; unblinding patients may cause bias related to overall treatment effect.

Achieving ASDAS-Low Disease Activity May Indicate Disease Control—Making It a Measure to Strive for in Patients With AS or nr-axSpA

ASDAS-CRP Disease Activity State Components

The ASDAS-CRP score is a composite measure that assesses common patient symptoms and an objective sign of inflammation. The score is calculated by assessing the following components4:

Back Pain

Duration of Morning Stiffness

Patient Global Assessment

Peripheral Joint Pain/Swelling

Inflammation (CRP)

SELECT-AXIS 2 Study 1: AS (bDMARD-IR)

Distribution of RINVOQ Patients by ASDAS-CRP State

ALL DATA AS OBSERVED (AO)

Patient distribution rates: Baseline (bDMARD-IR) 0.5% LDA. Patients at 2 years (bDMARD-IR) 33.1% LDA.

Safety Considerations

Serious Infections: RINVOQ-treated patients are at increased risk of serious bacterial (including tuberculosis [TB]), fungal, viral, and opportunistic infections leading to hospitalization or death. Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants, such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.

Mortality: A higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular (CV) death, was observed with a Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) in a study comparing another JAKi with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients ≥50 years with ≥1 CV risk factor.

Malignancies: Malignancies have occurred in RINVOQ-treated patients. A higher rate of lymphomas and lung cancer (in current or past smokers) was observed with another JAKi when compared with TNF blockers in RA patients.

Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events: A higher rate of CV death, myocardial infarction, and stroke was observed with a JAKi in a study comparing another JAKi with TNF blockers in RA patients ≥50 years with ≥1 CV risk factor. History of smoking increases risk.

Thrombosis: Deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and arterial thrombosis have occurred in patients treated with JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. A higher rate of thrombosis was observed with another JAKi when compared with TNF blockers in RA patients.

Hypersensitivity: RINVOQ is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to RINVOQ or its excipients.

Other Serious Adverse Reactions: Hypersensitivity Reactions, Gastrointestinal Perforations, Laboratory Abnormalities, and Embryo-Fetal Toxicity.
