van der Heijde D, et al. - In this Phase 3, 24-month, placebo-controlled trial, ORAL Scan (NCT00847613), 797 candidates were assessed to estimate the efficiency of tofacitinib 5 or 10 mg twice daily (BID) including structural progression, and safety in cases with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and also to analyze the methotrexate inadequate response (MTX-IR). They observed following maintained and similar constituents between tofacitinib doses: ACR20/50/70 responses, proportions of patients achieving DAS28-4(ESR)-defined remission or low disease activity, Clinical Disease Activity Index, Simplified Disease Activity Index, and Boolean remission, and Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index.
