Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Peficitinib Versus Tofacitinib and Baricitinib for Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Peficitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, is approved for clinical use in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, but head-to-head comparisons versus other JAK inhibitors are lacking. We indirectly compared peficitinib, tofacitinib, and baricitinib for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, and congress archives up until February 12, 2019, for randomized controlled trials of peficitinib, tofacitinib, and baricitinib. Efficacy (American College of Rheumatology responses, disease activity scores, modified total Sharp score, Simplified Disease Activity Index [SDAI]) and safety outcomes were compared using a Bayesian network meta-analysis.
