Tofacitinib (CP-690,550) is a novel, small-molecule, oral JAK inhibitor that is being investigated as a targeted immunomodulator for several inflammatory diseases including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease1,2 Tofacitinib inhibits JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 in vitro with functional cellular specificity for JAK1 and JAK3 over JAK2.3 Importantly, tofacitinib directly or indirectly modulates signaling for an important subset of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-2, -4, -7, -9, -15, and -214 Ig, immunoglobulin; IL, interleukin; JAK, Janus kinase; NK, natural killer; STAT, signal transducer and activator of transcription; Th, T helper; Tc, cytotoxic T cell 64 1ADIS.

• S1P1R agonism induces receptor internalization lymphocytes lose response to S1P gradient
• Become trapped in lymph nodes causing peripheral lymphopenia
• Upon drug withdrawal receptor expression is restored and lymphocytes leave nodes reversing lymphopenia

Mongersen Feagan BG et al, UEGW 2016 Presentation Conclusions • Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition which can result in high morbidity • Anti-TNF agents are effective for inducing and maintaining response/remission in Crohn’s • Anti-TNF agents can reduce need for hospitalizations and surgeries in Crohn’s • Natalizumab is an option for Crohn’s disease patients who are anti-TNF refractory, but carries a risk of PML Conclusions • Vedolizumab is a reasonable option for Crohn’s disease patients failing anti-TNF therapy • Ustekinumab appears promising as a treatment for Crohn’s disease in both anti- TNF-naive and anti-TNF-exposed patients • Many promising drugs in development • Tofacitinib for UC • Other JAK antagonists (e.g., filgotinib) • Anti-IL-23 drugs • Other anti-integrins (
