XELJANZ 5 mg twice daily is the recommended dosage for maintenance therapy; limit use of XELJANZ 10 mg twice daily beyond induction to those with loss of response and should be used for the shortest duration [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. As in the induction trials, patients were permitted to use stable doses of oral aminosalicylates; however, corticosteroid tapering was required upon entrance into this study for patients who were receiving corticosteroids at baseline.

On visual inspection, there was a sharp decline in alpha-blocker usage in both subgroups observed in May 2015 (Figure 3).Figure 3 Interrupted time-series analyses for conservatively managed ureteral stones, by stone location. Patients with obstructing ureteric calculi, either proximal [blue] or distal [red] stones were assessed for rates of alpha-blocker prescriptions, with predicted trend lines shown.ITSAs were conducted to compare alpha-blocker prescriptions by stone location (Table 2). Alpha-blocker prescriptions for proximal stones demonstrated an initial proportion of 40.2%. A significant drop in proportion of 33.6% (p DiscussionIn this study, alpha-blocker prescriptions for conservatively managed ureteric stones were characterised. This was a hypothesis-generating investigation to understand trends and how published literature may influence them, using May 2015 as an analysis time point. This study demonstrated a significant drop in alpha-blocker prescription for stones of all subgroup categories, including by stone size and by stone location.The primary finding of this study was the sharp decrease in alpha-blocker prescription from May 2015. At this particular time point, the landmark RCT published in The Lancet by Pickard et al reported on the lack of effect of tamsulosin for improving stone clearance at four weeks.7 Despite sub-analysis by stone location or size, the authors reported no sub-group demonstrated improvements in any outcome with tamsulosin. Although other explanations may contribute to our findings observed in May 2015, it is likely that observant clinicians at our institution were able to implement changes to clinical practice and quickly adapt.Despite the sudden drop in May 2015, there was a gradual rise in alpha-blocker usage again for stones >5 mm from May 2015 onwards, observed in our institution.

There were 2 key secondary endpoints: the proportion of patients with improvement of endoscopic appearance at Week 52, and the proportion of patients with sustained corticosteroid-free remission at both Week 24 and Week 52 among patients in remission at baseline of Study UC-III.The efficacy results of Study UC-III based on the centrally read endoscopy results are summarized in Table 20.Table 20: Proportion of Patients Meeting Primary and Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints in Maintenance Study UC-III (Central Endoscopy Read)Treatment Difference versus Placebo(95% CI)EndpointPlaceboXELJANZ 5 mg Twice DailyXELJANZ10 mgTwice DailyXELJANZ 5 mg Twice DailyXELJANZ 10 mg Twice DailyCI = Confidence interval; N = number of patients in the analysis set; TNF = tumor necrosis factor.*Remission was defined as clinical remission (a Mayo score ≤2 with no individual subscore >1) and rectal bleeding subscore of 0.†p-value ‡Prior TNF blocker failure was defined in this program as inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to TNF blocker therapy. §Patients in this group had failed one or more conventional therapies (corticosteroid, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine) but did not have history of prior failure of TNF blocker therapy.¶Improvement of endoscopic appearance of the mucosa was defined as Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 (normal or inactive disease) or 1 (erythema, decreased vascular pattern).#Sustained corticosteroid-free remission was defined as being in remission and not taking corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks prior to the visit at both Week 24 and Week 52.Remission at Week 52*Total PopulationN=198N=198N=19723%†(15.3, 31.2)30%†(21.4, 37.6)11%34%41% With Prior TNF Blocker Failure‡N=89N=83N=9311%24%37% Without Prior TNF Blocker Failure§N=109N=115N=10411%42%44%Improvement of endoscopic appearance of the mucosa at Week 52¶Total PopulationN=198N=198N=19724%†(16.0, 32.5)33%†(24.2, 41.0)13%37%46% With Prior TNF Blocker Failure‡N=89N=83N=9312%30%40% Without Prior TNF Blocker Failure§N=109N=115N=10414%43%51%Sustained corticosteroid-free remission at both Week 24 and Week 52 among patients in remission at baseline#Total PopulationN=59N=65N=5530%†(17.4, 43.2)42%†(27.9, 56.5)5%35%47% With Prior TNF Blocker Failure‡N=21N=18N=185%22%39% Without Prior

Friability, and erosions; an endoscopy subscore of 3 was defined by spontaneous bleeding and ulceration.Patients were permitted to use stable doses of oral aminosalicylates and corticosteroids (prednisone daily dose up to 25 mg equivalent). Concomitant immunosuppressants (oral immunomodulators or biologic therapies) were not permitted for UC patients during these studies.A total of 52%, 73% and 72% of patients had previously failed or were intolerant to TNF blockers (51% in Study UC-1 and 52% in Study UC-II), corticosteroids (75% in Study UC-I and 71% in Study UC-II), and/or immunosuppressants (74% in Study UC-I and 70% in Study UC-II), respectively.Oral corticosteroids were received as concomitant treatment for UC by 47% of patients (45% in Study UC-I and 48% in Study UC-II) and 71% were receiving concomitant aminosalicylates as treatment for UC (71% in Study UC-I, and 72% in Study UC-II). The baseline clinical characteristics were generally similar between the XELJANZ treated patients and patients receiving placebo.The primary endpoint of Study UC-I and Study UC-II was the proportion of patients in remission at Week 8, and the key secondary endpoint was the proportion of patients with improvement of endoscopic appearance of the mucosa at Week 8.The efficacy results of Study UC-I and Study UC-II based on the centrally read endoscopy results are shown in Table 19.Table 19: Proportion of Patients Meeting Primary and Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints at Week 8 (Induction Study UC-I and Study UC-II, Central Endoscopy Read)CI = Confidence interval; N = number of patients in the analysis set; TNF = tumor necrosis factor*Remission was defined as clinical remission (a Mayo score ≤2 with no individual subscore >1) and rectal bleeding subscore of 0.†p-value ‡Prior TNF blocker failure was defined in this program as inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to TNF blocker therapy. §Patients in this group had failed one or more conventional therapies (corticosteroid, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine) but did not have history of prior failure of TNF blocker therapy.¶Improvement of endoscopic appearance of the mucosa was defined as Mayo endoscopy subscore of 0 (normal or inactive disease) or 1 (erythema, decreased vascular pattern).#p-value Study UC-IEndpointPlaceboXELJANZ10 mgTwice DailyTreatment Difference versus
