An Update on Patient Reported Outcomes with JAKinibs
Release date: 19 June 2020
Estimated time to complete activity: 1 and 1/2 hours
Compatible with all modern internet browsers and mobile devices
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, the learner will be able to:
- Understand the impact of pain and fatigue as a patient-reported outcome
- Explain the importance of depression and sleep in the management of RA
- Understand patient-reported outcomes from Phase 3 JAKinib data
- Discuss patient preference and satisfaction of RA treatment
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed for qualified rheumatologists of all levels of seniority, and other healthcare professionals involved in treating patients with inflammatory disease.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
ACR 2019 presented new scientific and clinical information on cytokine signalling science that will shape the rheumatology treatment landscape. Presented data include the impact of pain and fatigue as a patient-reported outcomes (PROs), importance of mental health and quality of life, patient-reported outcomes from Phase 3 JAKinib data and patient perspectives in the management of RA.
In this activity, An Update on Patient Reported Outcomes with JAKinibs, international experts review key abstracts and data specifically relating to PROs and patient perspectives. The 4 modules in this course specifically focuses on pain and fatigue as PROs, quality of life such as depression and sleep, PROs from approved RA treatments (upadacitinib, baricitinib and tofacitinib), and finally patient preferences and treatment satisfaction.
This course, An Update on Patient Reported Outcomes with JAKinibs, outlines recent developments in the cytokine signalling science and management of PROs in rheumatoid arthritis, and highlights and discusses the importance of these new data for clinical practice. The learner’s understanding of the information presented will be assessed following each of the course modules.
