Conclusions • Selective JAK-1 inhibition with ABT-494 was effective in: – Patients with active RA and an inadequate response to MTX who were receiving background MTX – Refractory patients with an inadequate response to or intolerance of 1 anti- TNF agent • ABT-494 demonstrated a safety and tolerability profile consistent with other JAK inhibitors in RA – With high dosages (12/18 mg BID), the rate of infections was increased (40% in the 12 mg BID group 2 ) • Larger Phase 3 trials are underway to confirm the selectivity of ABT-494 against JAK- 1 and to determine whether this translates to an improved benefit–risk profile across a wide spectrum of patients with RA 1.
