Randomized trial of tofacitinib in active ulcerative colitis: analysis of efficacy based on patient-reported outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Tofacitinib, a novel, oral Janus kinase inhibitor, demonstrated a dose-dependent efficacy for induction of clinical response and remission in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC). The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of tofacitinib on patient-reported outcomes (PROs).Eligible patients (?18 years of age) with a diagnosis of active UC (total Mayo score of 6-12 points and moderately-to-severely active disease on sigmoidoscopy) were randomized in a 2:2:2:3:3 ratio to receive oral tofacitinib 0.5 mg, 3 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg, or placebo twice daily (BID) for 8 weeks. PROs were assessed by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) and the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patient-Reported Treatment Impact (IBD PRTI) survey.At Week 8, mean IBDQ total scores had improved relative to baseline across all five treatment groups (baseline range 123.2-134.5; Week 8 range 149.6-175.4). Improvement from baseline was significantly greater (P = 0.001) for tofacitinib 15 mg BID versus placebo. For tofacitinib 15 mg BID, most patients reported satisfaction or extreme satisfaction, definite preference for tofacitinib, and definite willingness to use tofacitinib again on the IBD PRTI at week 8. Patients achieving endoscopic remission (Mayo endoscopy score of 0) had significantly higher IBDQ scores and favorable PRTI scores than those not achieving endoscopic remission.Short-term treatment with tofacitinib BID was associated with dose-dependent improvement in health-related quality of life and patient preferences for tofacitinib. The results complement previously reported efficacy and safety data for the Phase II study. (NCT 00787202, November 6, 2008).

Project description:BackgroundTreatment targets for ulcerative colitis are evolving towards achievement of endoscopic improvement and remission in addition to symptom resolution. It remains to be accurately quantified what proportion of patients with symptom resolution have residual endoscopic activity that might warrant treatment modification.AimTo quantify the prevalence of endoscopic improvement and remission amongst ulcerative colitis patients with various permutations of patient-reported outcomes.MethodsIndividual participant data from active intervention and placebo arms of clinical trials of infliximab, golimumab, vedolizumab and tofacitinib were pooled to estimate the prevalence of endoscopic improvement (Mayo endoscopic sub-score [MES] 0 or 1) and remission (MES 0) scores with various permutations of the rectal bleeding sub-score (RBS) and stool frequency sub-score (SFS) of the Mayo score, following induction (6-8 weeks) and maintenance (30-54 weeks) therapy. Subgroup analyses were performed by year of publication and centrally read endoscopy scoring.ResultsData from 2586 trial participants were analysed. Using locally scored endoscopy, the prevalence of endoscopic improvement and remission was highest among participants with a RBS 0 + SFS 0 post-induction (MES 0/1:81%, [95% CI 78-84]; MES 0:29% [26-33]) and during maintenance (MES 0/1:91% [87-93]; MES 0:57% [52-62]). Prevalence estimates were lower for more recently performed trials (P < .01). In comparison to locally scored endoscopy, when using central endoscopy scoring, the prevalence of endoscopic improvement and remission was lower post-induction (MES 0/1 57% [50-64], P < .001; MES 0 15% [11-21], P = .09) and during maintenance (MES 0/1 74% [67-81], P = .001; MES 0 31% [24-38], P = .001) for participants achieving a RBS 0 + SFS 0.ConclusionsApproximately 8 of 10 patients with normalisation of rectal bleeding and stool frequency have improvement in endoscopic disease activity, whereas approximately only half of these patients have endoscopic remission.

Project description:BackgroundTofacitinib is an oral small molecule Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.AimTo report efficacy and infection rates in patients receiving tofacitinib induction treatment, by baseline corticosteroid status.MethodsWe evaluated efficacy and safety data from OCTAVE Induction 1&2 in patients with moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis who received tofacitinib 10 mg twice daily or placebo for 8 weeks, based on induction baseline oral corticosteroid use (Corticosteroid-Yes/No) and dose (< 20/ ≥ 20 mg/day). Infections of interest included serious infections, herpes zoster (HZ), and adjudicated opportunistic infections (OIs).ResultsAt OCTAVE Induction 1&2 baseline, 478/1092 (43.8%) patients were receiving corticosteroids. Tofacitinib demonstrated significant induction efficacy versus placebo for both Corticosteroid-Yes and Corticosteroid-No. With adjustment for prior tumor necrosis factor inhibitor and immunosuppressant failure, there were no statistically significant differences in remission and clinical response rates for Corticosteroid-Yes versus Corticosteroid-No. Among tofacitinib-treated patients, HZ and OIs occurred more frequently in Corticosteroid-Yes versus Corticosteroid-No, regardless of dose (< 20 mg vs. ≥ 20 mg). Infection incidence rates (regardless of severity/seriousness) during tofacitinib induction were generally similar regardless of baseline corticosteroid use. The proportion of tofacitinib-treated patients with HZ was 0.2% for Corticosteroid-No versus 1.1% for Corticosteroid-Yes < 20 mg and 1.0% for Corticosteroid-Yes ≥ 20 mg. Two out of three patients had HZ OIs.ConclusionsTofacitinib induction efficacy (clinical response and remission) was similar in baseline corticosteroid subgroups. Infections of interest were rare; HZ and OIs occurred more frequently among those receiving tofacitinib and corticosteroids versus those receiving tofacitinib without corticosteroids.Trial registrationhttp://www.Clinicaltrialsgov (NCT01465763[21/10/2011]; NCT01458951[21/10/2011]).
