ORAL Strategy Efficacy Results
Completed head-to-head non-inferiority study comparing XELJANZ and adalimumab in patients with inadequate response to MTX1
ACR50
  • XELJANZ + MTX was non-inferior compared with adalimumab + MTX as measured by ACR50 at Month 6*.1
  • XELJANZ monotherapy was not non-inferior compared with adalimumab + MTX or XELJANZ + MTX as measured by ACR50 at Month 6*.1
ORAL Strategy (MTX-IR RA population) – Primary endpoint: ACR50 at Month 6*1
Adapted from Fleischmann R et al. 2017.1​​​​​​​​​​​​​
  • ACR50 response rates were maintained at Month 12.1
ORAL Strategy (MTX-IR RA population) – ACR50 responses over 12 months1
Adapted from Fleischmann R et al. 2017.1​​​​​​​
Non-inferiority​​​​​​​
  • Non-inferiority for the primary endpoint was demonstrated for XELJANZ + MTX vs. adalimumab + MTX*.1
  • Non-inferiority was not demonstrated for XELJANZ vs. adalimumab + MTX or XELJANZ + MTX*.1
Adapted from Fleischmann R et al. 2017.1
Statistical analysis​​​​​​​
  • ​​​​​​The non-inferiority margin was assessed using a 13% difference and non-inferiority was declared if the lower boundary of the 98.34% CI for the difference was larger than -13%.1
  • For any comparison between primary endpoints, if non-inferiority was demonstrated, superiority could be declared if the lower boundary of the 98.34% CI of the difference was greater than zero.1
