Abstract
Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) are the most recent new drug class to arrive to the market for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. While they have proven to be a very effective treatment option, there remains significant concern regarding the risk of cardiovascular events, thrombosis and malignancy, particularly given the findings of the post-marketing ORAL Surveillance study and FDA black box warnings. This article reviews the key findings of the most impactful cohort of studies and registry data since ORAL Surveillance. It also evaluates the role of JAKis in practice and offers guidance on risk stratifying patients and determining their suitability for a JAKi.
