Upadacitinib for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis

INTRODUCTION: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a rheumatic disorder that may be responsible for relevant articular impairment. The recently licensed Janus Kinase (JaK) inhibitors represent a new opportunity to improve PsA treatment. This review deals with the clinical usefulness of the selective JaK-1 inhibitor upadacitinib (UPA) in patients with PsA.

COVERED AREAS: Two phase-III studies are available: SELECT-PsA 1, performed in patients with an inadequate response to non-biological therapies, and SELECT-PsA 2, conducted in biologic-experienced patients. Long-term extension results and post-hoc analysis data of these two trials are also available.

EXPERT OPINION: The results provided by the trials indicate that UPA may be used to treat all of the clinical manifestations of PsA. Venous thromboembolism, cardiovascular events, and malignancy, the most feared adverse events associated with JaK inhibitor use, were not increased in the trial populations, yet long-term observational studies are needed to make sure that UPA is safe in this respect.
