Adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model (paw swelling; ex vivo STAT phosphorylation)
“Abrocitinib treatment resulted in a dose dependent inhibition of paw swelling (disease severity) in the rats after seven days of treatment which was significant for the dose levels between 5-50 mg/kg.”
Not reported in the public reviews. Reviewers summarise selectively, so this usually means it wasn't discussed publicly, not that it wasn't studied.
Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
CHMP: pharmacological activity proven in the AIA rat (reduced paw swelling, STAT phosphorylation inhibition)
“Pharmacological activity has been proven in a study on adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA) rat, symptomatically by dose dependent reduction of paw swelling and functionally by inhibition of STAT phosphorylation in ex vivo samples.”
