    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2020 JAK efficacy in Crohn’s disease Rogler, Gerhard Abstract: Inhibition of Janus kinases in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients has shown conflicting results in clinical trials. Tofacitinib, a pan-JAK inhibitor showed efficacy in ulcerative colitis (UC) and has been approved for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe UC. In contrast, studies in patients suffering from CD were disappointing and the primary endpoint of clinical remission could notbemet in the respective phase II induction and maintenance trials. Subsequently, the clinical development of tofacitinib was discontinued in CD. In contrast, efficacy of filgotinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, inCD patients was demonstrated in the randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II FITZROY study. Upadacitinib also showed promising results in a phase II trial in moderate to severe CD. Subse- quently phase III programs in CD have been initiated for both substances, which are still ongoing. Several newer molecules of this class of orally administrated immunosuppressants are tested in clinical programs. The concern of side effects of systemic JAK inhibition is addressed by either exclusively intestinal action or higher selectivity (Tyk2 inhibitors). In general, JAK inhibitors constitute a new promising class of drugs for the treatment of CD.

  • JAK Inhibitors for Treatment of Psoriasis: Focus on Selective TYK2 Inhibitors
    Drugs https://doi.org/10.1007/s40265-020-01261-8 CURRENT OPINION JAK Inhibitors for Treatment of Psoriasis: Focus on Selective TYK2 Inhibitors Miguel Nogueira1 · Luis Puig2 · Tiago Torres1,3 © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 Abstract Despite advances in the treatment of psoriasis, there is an unmet need for efective and safe oral treatments. The Janus Kinase– Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK–STAT) pathway plays a signifcant role in intracellular signalling of cytokines of numerous cellular processes, important in both normal and pathological states of immune-mediated infamma- tory diseases. Particularly in psoriasis, where the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis is currently considered the crucial pathogenic pathway, blocking the JAK–STAT pathway with small molecules would be expected to be clinically efective. However, relative non-specifcity and low therapeutic index of the available JAK inhibitors have delayed their integration into the therapeutic armamentarium of psoriasis. Current research appears to be focused on Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), the frst described member of the JAK family. Data from the Phase II trial of BMS-986165—a selective TYK2 inhibitor—in psoriasis have been published and clinical results are encouraging, with a large Phase III programme ongoing. Further, the selective TYK2 inhibitor PF-06826647 is being tested in moderate-to-severe psoriasis in a Phase II clinical trial. Brepocitinib, a potent TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor, is also being evaluated, as both oral and topical treatment. Results of studies with TYK2 inhibitors will be important in assessing the clinical efcacy and safety of these drugs and their place in the therapeutic armamentarium of psoriasis.

Mutations targeting this path- way can lead to overproduction of these cell types, giving rise to various hematological diseases. This review summarizes pathogenic JAK/STAT activation mechanisms and links known mutations and translocations to different leukemia. In addition, the review discusses the current therapeutic approaches used to inhibit constitutive, cytokine-independent activation of the pathway and the prospects of developing more specific potent JAK inhibitors. Abstract: Janus kinases (JAKs) transduce signals from dozens of extracellular cytokines and function as critical regulators of cell growth, differentiation, gene expression, and immune responses. Deregu- lation of JAK/STAT signaling is a central component in several human diseases including various types of leukemia and other malignancies and autoimmune diseases. Different types of leukemia harbor genomic aberrations in all four JAKs (JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2), most of which are Citation: Raivola, J.; Haikarainen, T.; activating somatic mutations and less frequently translocations resulting in constitutively active JAK Abraham, B.G.; Silvennoinen, O.
