HIDE SMILES / InChI
Upadacitinib (ABT-494) is a Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor currently being developed by AbbVie for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriatic arthritis. It is also being investigated as a potential treatment for people with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Currently, upadacitinib is being evaluatedin six global phase III studies in RA and twophase III studies in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), inaddition to phase II studies in Crohn’s disease and atopicdermatitis and a combined phase II/III study inulcerative colitis. Upadacitinib is a potent and selective Janus kinase (JAK) 1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 43 nM.

Comment: When upadacitinib was co-administered with ketoconazole (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, 400 mg QD x 6 days), upadacitinib exposure increased by 75% for AUC0-inf and 70% for Cmax. Upadacitinib should be used with caution if patients receive chronic treatment with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. When upadacitinib was co-administered with rifampin (a strong CYP3A4 inducer, 600 mg QD x 9 days), upadacitinib exposure decreased by 61% for AUC0-inf and 51% for Cmax. Upadacitinib is not recommended to be co-administered with strong CYP3A4 inducers.
