Tofacitinib for the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis: An Integrated Summary of up to 7.8 Years of Safety Data from the Global Clinical Programme

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Tofacitinib is an oral small molecule Janus kinase [JAK] inhibitor for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. We report an integrated summary of tofacitinib safety [exposure: ≤7.8 years] from the global clinical programme. METHODS: Patients receiving tofacitinib 5 or 10 mg twice d...

Sumario:BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Tofacitinib is an oral small molecule Janus kinase [JAK] inhibitor for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. We report an integrated summary of tofacitinib safety [exposure: ≤7.8 years] from the global clinical programme. METHODS: Patients receiving tofacitinib 5 or 10 mg twice daily [BID] from completed phase [P]2/3 placebo-controlled studies, an open-label, long-term extension study [final data cut-off: August 24, 2020], and interim analysis of a P3b/4 study (interim data cut-off: February 20, 2020; Overall plus P3b/4 [2020] Cohort) were included. Proportions with adverse events [AEs] and serious AEs, and incidence rates [IRs; unique patients with events/100 patient-years] for deaths and AEs of special interest [AESI] were evaluated. Opportunistic infections, malignancies, major adverse cardiovascular events [MACE] and gastrointestinal perforations were adjudicated. RESULTS: In total, 1157 patients received one or more dose of tofacitinib (mean duration: 946.9 days); 955/1157 [83%] received a predominant dose of 10 mg BID; 412/1157 [35.6%] received tofacitinib for >4 years; 992/1157 [85.7%] had AEs, 244/1157 [21.1%] had serious AEs and 134/1157 (11.6%) discontinued use due to AEs. IRs [95% confidence intervals] for all tofacitinib doses were: deaths, 0.23 [0.09–0.46]; serious infections, 1.69 [1.26–2.21]; herpes zoster [non-serious and serious], 3.30 [2.67–4.04]; opportunistic infections, 1.03 [0.70–1.46]; malignancies (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer [NMSC]), 0.84 [0.55–1.24]; NMSC, 0.73 [0.45–1.10]; MACE, 0.29 [0.13–0.55]; deep vein thrombosis, 0.03 [0.00–0.18]; pulmonary embolism, 0.19 [0.07–0.42]; gastrointestinal perforations, 0.10 [0.02–0.28]. CONCLUSIONS: AESI IRs were stable to 7.8 years and generally <2.0 in the Overall plus P3b/4 [2020] Cohort, with the exception of herpes zoster [a known risk of tofacitinib treatment].
