Abstract

Abstract : Background: Current EULAR and national guidelines recommend use of synthetic target drug Tofacitinib (TOFA) for active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment in case of resistance or intolerance to metotrexate (MTX) or other conventional DMARDs. Two treatment regimens are approved: TOFA mono-therapy and combination with conventional DMARD, preferably with MTX. Objectives: Aim of presented study was to compare efficacy and safety of TOFA given in two regimens: as mono-therapy and in combination with MTX. Methods: We analyzed data from Russian national registry of RA. 450 patients (pts) treated with TOFA in dose 10 mg daily have been enrolled in this investigation. Among them 169 pts have composed TOFA mono-therapy group (mono) and 281 pts treated with TOFA plus MTX have been included in combo-therapy group (combo). Period of treatment varied from 6 months to 3 years and even more. Treatment efficacy was evaluated on the basis of clinical and laboratory indices of RA activity: CDAI, SDAI, DAS28, HAQ, GPA (general pain assessment), TJC, SJC, CRP, ESR monthly during first 6 months, than in 1, 2, 3 years and after 3 year period of treatment. Results: There were no significant differences in pts demographic characteristic and disease longevity and/or severity in two separated groups. Majority of baseline indices were identical in these groups aside from SDAI, CRP (were higher in combo-group) and HAQ (was higher in mono-group). Pts monitoring have shown dramatically decrease of all used indices during the first several months of therapy in both groups. Moreover all clinical and laboratory parameters after 6-months treatment were comparable in mono- and combo- groups. Positive dynamics remained during further 3-year period in both groups. Significant differences between baseline and ultimate data after 3 year course therapy were revealed in CDAI, SDAI, DAS28, HAQ, GPA, TJC, SJC, CRP, ESR in both groups. In particular DAS28 index decreased from 5.38±0.08 to 2.88±0.07 (p<0.05) in mono-group and from 5.54±0.09 to 3.40±0.21 (p<0.05) in combo-group. Along with this comparing of endpoints in two analyzed groups have shown that levels of CDAI, SDAI, GPA were significant higher in combo-group than in mono-group (p<0.05). Adverse effects were registered in 4.73% pts from mono-group and in 4.98% pts from combo-group (p>0.05). Spectrum of adverse reactions was similar in compared groups: respiratory infection (in 2.96% and 3.36% cases respectively) and herpes infection (in 0.59% and 0.71% cases, respectively) were registered predominantly. Conclusion: Data gained from National RA registry have demonstrated that treatment with TOFA in mono-therapy regimen has the comparable efficacy with regimen of combined therapy, included MTX and TOFA. Safety of both regimens can be qualified as good. Obtained results confirm high efficacy and safety of target therapy with TOFA and prove the recommendation for use it in different regimens – mono-therapy or combination with MTX.
