Selective JAK1 Inhibition in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis: Proof of Concept with GLPG0634
Background/Purpose: Janus kinases (JAKs) are critical components in signaling pathways for a number of cytokines and growth factors, including those involved in the disease process…Abstract Number: 2084 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
ASP015K: A Novel JAK Inhibitor Demonstrated Potent Efficacy in Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis Model in Rats
Background/Purpose: The Janus kinase (JAK) family of enzymes plays a key role in cytokine signaling, which is involved in the pathogenic events of immune-mediated disorders…Abstract Number: 1831 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment with Biologic Agents Using the IORRA Cohort Database
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory disorder, causes a significant decrease in quality of life. Recently developed biologic agents (BAs) have caused a considerable…Abstract Number: 1692 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Lung Microbiome Differs in Subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis-Related Autoimmunity without Inflammatory Arthritis Compared to Healthy Seronegative Controls
Background/Purpose: Emerging data suggest that microorganisms and mucosal inflammation may play a role in the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Furthermore, our published findings…Abstract Number: 1637 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Novel Peptide Inhibiting the Binding Between C1q and Immunoglobulin Ameliorates Joint Destruction in Rats with Collagen-Induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: C1q is the major subcomponent of the first component of complement protein. The activation of the complement is triggered by binding of C1q to…Abstract Number: 1279 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
First in Human Study with Recombinant Anti-IL-21 Monoclonal Antibody in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Interleukin-21 (IL-21), a cytokine produced by activated T cells (especially T17 and TFH cells), has a proinflammatory and pleiotropic nature, and drives mainly activation…Abstract Number: 1184 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Negative Association Between Testosterone Levels and Risk of Future Rheumatoid Factor Negative Rheumatoid Arthritis in Men
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a heterogeneous disease with female predominance. Sex hormones have been suggested to play a part in the pathogenesis. We have previously…
