PG - 319-327 LID - S2173-5743(23)00078-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.reumae.2023.02.006 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To describe efficacy, safety, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with an inadequate response to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) treated with tofacitinib or biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) in real-life conditions. METHODS: A noninterventional study was performed between March 2017 and September 2019 at 13 sites in Colombia and Peru. Outcomes measured at baseline and at the 6-month follow-up were disease activity (RAPID3 [Routine Assessment of Patients Index Data] score), functional status (HAQ-DI [Health Assessment Questionnaire] score), and quality of life (EQ-5D-3L [EuroQol Questionnaire]). The Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS28-ESR) and frequency of adverse events (AEs) were also reported. Unadjusted and adjusted differences from baseline were estimated and expressed as the least squares mean difference (LSMD). RESULTS: Data from 100 patients treated with tofacitinib and 70 patients with bDMARDs were collected. At baseline, the patients' mean age was 53.53 years (SD 13.77), the mean disease duration was 6.31 years (SD 7.01). The change from baseline at month 6 was not statistically significant different in the adjusted LSMD [SD] for tofacitinib vs. bDMARDs for RAPID3 score (-2.55[.30] vs. -2.52[.26]), HAQ-DI score (-.56[.07] vs. -.50[.08]), EQ-5D-3L score (.39[.04] vs. .37[.04]) and DAS28-ESR (-2.37[.22] vs. -2.77[.20]). Patients from both groups presented similar proportions of nonserious and serious AEs. No deaths were reported. CONCLUSION: Changes from baseline were not statistically significantly different between tofacitinib and bDMARDs in terms of RAPID3 scores and secondary outcomes. Patients from both groups presented similar proportions of nonserious and serious AEs. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: NCT03073109. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U.
