Conclusions<br />

• Selective JAK-1 inhibition with ABT-494 was effective in:<br />

– Patients with active RA and an inadequate response to MTX who were<br />

receiving background MTX<br />

– Refractory patients with an inadequate response to or intolerance of 1 anti-<br />

TNF agent<br />

• ABT-494 demonstrated a safety and tolerability profile consistent with other JAK<br />

inhibitors in RA<br />

– With high dosages (12/18 mg BID), the rate of infections was increased (40% in the 12 mg<br />

BID group 2 )<br />

• Larger Phase 3 trials are underway to confirm the selectivity of ABT-494 against JAK-<br />

1 and to determine whether this translates to an improved benefit–risk profile<br />

across a wide spectrum of patients with RA<br />
