Background:Tofacitinib is an oral Janus Kinase inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Objectives:To evaluate the three-year effectiveness of tofacitinib in RA conventional synthetic (cs) DMARDs non-responders.Methods:Data from 374 patients from Russian national register OREL of patients with RA treated with tofacitinib not less than 3 years after failure of conventional DMARDs were included in the statistical analysis. Clinical and laboratory data from 4 consecutive visits with an interval of 12 months between the visits (± 28 days) were analyzed. Treatment with any biologics ever was an exclusion criteria. Demographical (age, sex) and disease-related characteristics of RA (symptoms duration, RF- and ACCP positivity, presence of joint erosions, DAS28, CDAI, number of tender and swollen joints (NTJ, NSJ), erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP)) collected. Statistical analysis performed with statistical programs SPSS2017 and GraphPadPrizm. p-value < 0.05 considered as significant.Results:Baseline characteristics of RA patients, involved in the analysis are presented in table 1.Table 1.Baseline characteristics of the patients with RA (n=374).ParameterCharacteristicsMale, n (%)92 (24.5)Age, years (mean±SD)53.4±13.38Symptoms duration, month (mean±SD)140±137Positive rheumatoid factor (RF), n (%)123(32.8)Positive antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (ACCP), n (%)329(87.9)Erosions of hand joints (X-rays), n (%)372 (99.4)BMI, kg/m2(mean ±SD)26.8 ± 6.14Smokers (current and in the past), n (%)54 (14.4)Changes in the diseases activity parameters in patients with RA, treated with tofacitinib not less than 3 years after cs DMARD failure are presented in table 2, figure 1, and figure 2.Figure 1.DAS28 of patients with RA, treated with tofacitinib (n=374) – 3-years follow-up (time-points are presented in years ± 28 days).Figure 2.DAS28 of patients with RA, treated with tofacitinib (n=374) – 3-years follow-up (time-points are presented in years ± 28 days).Table 2.Changes in RA parameters in patients treated with tofacitinib, n=374 (M±SE).Disease characteristicsBaselineYear 1#Year 2#Year 3#C-RP, mg/L30.1±35.08.3±12.87.6±10.79.4±13.5ESR, mm/h35.2±21.222.7±17.221.9±17.722.3±17.3NTJ from 2811.2±6.54.6±4.94.8±5.03.9±3.8NTJ from 287.6±5.12.4±3.21.7±3.11.4±2.8*difference with baseline is significant with p<0.000.#- ±28 daysConclusion:According to the real world data treatment with tofacitinib may provide good response rates in RA patients, refractory to the previous csDMARDs treatment in long-term perspective.Acknowledgments :PfizerDisclosure of Interests: :Inna Gaydukova Grant/research support from: JSC BIOCAD, Speakers bureau: Pfizer, Novartis, AbbVie, JSC BIOCAD, Сelgene, MSD, Sanofi, V Mazurov: None declared, Alexander Lila: None declared, Andrey Baranov Grant/research support from: Bayer, Galina Lukina Speakers bureau: Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Abbvie, Biocad, MSD, Roche, Evgeniy Zhilyaev Speakers bureau: Novartis, UCB, Pfizer, Biocad, Abbvie, MSD, Roche, Ekaterina Koltsova: None declared, Evgeniya Shmidt Speakers bureau: MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, Oxana Fomina: None declared, Irina Bondareva: None declared, Olga Anoshenkova: None declared, Aleksey Vasilenko: None declared, Elizaveta Vasilenko: None declared, Natalya Yudina: None declared, Larisa Knyazeva: None declared, Vyacheslav Poncratov: None declared, Ekaterina Gaydukova: None declared, Evgeny Nasonov Speakers bureau: Lilly, AbbVie, Pfizer, Biocad, R-Pharm
