Summary
Brief summary
There are two main aims of this study.
First aim is to compare the risk of cardiovascular events (including myocardial infarction or
stroke), between patients treated with tofacitinib and patients treated with TNF inhibitors
(TNFi) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) among, 1) "real world evidence (RWE)" cohorts including
routine care patient population from the US and, 2) "Randomized controlled trial (RCT)
DUPLICATE" cohorts including routine care patient population who meet inclusion and exclusion
criteria of the Safety Study Of Tofacitinib Versus Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Inhibitor In
Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis ("ORAL Surveillance", NCT02092467) clinical trial.
Second aim is to examine the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure
hospitalization, coronary revascularization, and all-cause mortality as separate endpoints
when comparing tofacitinib with TNFi in patients with RA among, 1) "real world evidence
(RWE)" cohort including routine care patient population from the US and, 2) "Randomized
controlled trial (RCT) DUPLICATE" cohort including routine care patient population who meet
inclusion and exclusion criteria of the Safety Study Of Tofacitinib Versus Tumor Necrosis
Factor (TNF) Inhibitor In Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis ("ORAL Surveillance",
NCT02092467) clinical trial.
