The aim was to analyze the relationship between peficitinib exposure and efficacy response according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 criteria and 28-joint disease activity score based on C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and to identify relevant covariates by developing exposure-response models. The analysis incorporated results from three multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies. As an exposure parameter, individual post hoc pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were obtained from a previously constructed population PK model. Longitudinal ACR20 response rate and individual longitudinal DAS28-CRP measurements were modeled by a non-linear mixed effect model. Influential covariates were explored, and their effects on efficacy were quantitatively assessed and compared. The exposure-response models of effect of peficitinib on duration-dependent increase in ACR20 response rate and decrease in DAS28-CRP were adequately described by a continuous time Markov model and an indirect response model, respectively, with a sigmoidal Emax saturable of drug exposure in RA patients. The significant covariates were DAS28-CRP and total bilirubin at baseline for the ACR20 response model, and CRP at baseline and concomitant methotrexate treatment for the DAS28-CRP model. The covariate effects were highly consistent between the two models. Our exposure-response models of peficitinib in RA patients satisfactorily described duration-dependent improvements in ACR20 response rates and DAS28-CRP measurements, and provided consistent covariate effects. Only the ACR20 model incorporated a patient's subjective high expectations just after the start of the treatment. Therefore, due to their similarities and differences, both models may have relevant applications in the development of RA treatment.
