Abstract

The ORAL Surveillance trial found that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) aged ≥50 years with ≥1 additional cardiovascular (CV) risk factor had an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) with tofacitinib versus tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi).1 A post hoc analysis indicated that the increased risk of MACE with tofacitinib versus TNFi was apparent primarily in patients with a history of atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD), that is, pre-existing coronary artery, cerebrovascular or peripheral artery disease.2
