Abstract:
Upadacitinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, has been evaluated for efficacy and safety in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Relevant literature using the terms 'upadacitinib' and 'PsA' were identified via PubMed and Google Scholar. Efficacy of upadacitinib in the treatment of PsA versus placebo was demonstrated in the SELECT-PsA I and II trials. SELECT-PsA1 also showed upadacitinib was noninferior to adalimumab in the treatment of PsA. The most common adverse events in patients treated with upadacitinib were infections, malignancies and thromboembolic events. Upadacitinib is an effective medication that can be used in the treatment of active PsA. Despite its proven efficacy and safety, upadacitinib does not yet have long-term safety data.
