Gilead-Galapagos' JAK vs. AbbVie: New Data Stress Safety Divide
2017-11-10 11:30:10.630 GMTBI BIOT GLOB COPRIM
Pfizer showed conevincingly its JAK-drug Xeljanz didn't increase
the risk of thrombotic (VTE) events, quelling concerns of a
class effect. This is corroborated by longer-term data for
Gilead's filgotinib, highlighting largely stable platelet counts
and consistent safety with prior trials. High selectivity of
JAK-1 but not JAK-2 suggests the latter may have a lower
propensity for this side effect, a view backed by physicians at
ACR 2017. By contrast, the VTE signal seen for upadacitinib may
spell trouble for AbbVie.
