Post-hoc Analyses UC Patients can benefit from a rapid and significant reduction in symptoms with XELJANZ, seen as early as 3 days1

For patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, onset of action is an important consideration when choosing appropriate therapy to provide timely symptomatic relief1

Based on post-hoc analyses of daily patient diary data from the OCTAVE induction studies:

  • Significant reductions in rectal bleeding vs placebo were seen as early as 3 days:
    mean change from baseline rectal bleeding subscore of -0.30 vs -0.14; p<0.01
  • Significant reductions in stool frequency vs placebo were seen as early as 3 days:
    mean change from baseline stool frequency subscore of -0.27 vs -0.11; p<0.01
Relates to results from a post hoc analysis, consideration should be made for multiple testing and inclusion of unadjusted p-values when interpreting data.Post-hoc analysis of pooled data from Induction 1 and 2 trials. Daily Mayo stool frequency and rectal bleeding subscores were calculated using patient diary data collected daily during the first 15 days of induction therapy. Partial Mayo Score subscore data were first collected at Day 15.With XELJANZ, rapid reductions in symptoms, seen within 3 days, are irrespective of prior tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) therapy failure status, baseline steroid use, or baseline
