Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study aims to extract data from the Hong Kong Biologics Registry for retention rate of the JAK inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis and review other adverse events by looking at the medical record retrospectively. These real life data are important as they cannot be provided by randomized controlled trials which are limited by the duration of observation and fixed protocols in research settings. Moreover, data will represent our local experience of the JAK inhibitors in Chinese patients with RA.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: biologic/targeted therapy

Detailed Description

This study aims to extract data from the Hong Kong Biologics Registry for retention rate of the JAK inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis and review other adverse events by looking at the medical record retrospectively. Efficacy data and adverse events, in particular major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and malignancy will be looked at and compared with the TNF inhibitors. Retention / withdrawal rates of the drugs will be studied by statistical analyses.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Withdrawal rate due to major / serious adverse events [from start of biologic/targeted DMARD use to these event(s) up to 10 years]

    adverse events eg. MACEs, malignancy, infections

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Withdrawal rate due to inefficacy [from start of biologic/targeted DMARD use to last clinic visit up to 10 years]

    Efficacy of the agents in terms of retention rate
