Filgotinib as rheumatoid arthritis therapy

Copyright 2021 Clarivate Analytics..

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and progressive disability when inflammation cannot be sufficiently controlled. Despite treatment with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) and biological DMARDs (bDMARDs), up to 30% of RA patients do not reach or fail to maintain a good response over time. The recent introduction of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) has widened the rheumatologist's armamentarium. Filgotinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, has been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for treatment of RA. Phase II and III studies highlighted filgotinib safety and efficacy in RA patients naive to DMARDs or with inadequate response to csDMARDs and bDMARDs. Filgotinib is administered orally at 200 mg every day. For patients older than 75 years or with moderate to severe renal impairment, a dose of filgotinib 100 mg every day is recommended.
