JAKi in RA Practice: Unpacking the Evidence for Their Use Today and Tomorrow

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

The Janus kinase (JAK) family of intracellular tyrosine kinases plays a pivotal role in transducing extracellular cytokine signaling, thereby contributing to major processes such as cellular proliferation, homeostasis, and host defense against infection.1 In RA, certain JAK-mediated signaling pathways are dysfunctionally active, leading to enhanced transcription of various proinflammatory genes and aberrant immune responses.2 In this Interactive Exchangeâ„¢ activity, a panel of expert rheumatologists will discuss the rationale underscoring targeted JAK inhibition, the latest clinical evidence on available and emerging JAK inhibitor therapies, evolving RA treatment guidelines, and challenges surrounding the appropriate and timely use of JAK inhibitors. The overall goal of this activity is to assist participates in translating the latest information regarding JAK inhibitor therapy into improved RA management and patient care.
