NSAID refractory axial spondyloarthritis patients who are eligible after considering inclusion and exclusion crietria will be put on 5 mg tofacitinib BD ,at the end of 1st and 3rd month they will be assessed for safety and efficacy.Those who will not respond will be put on 10 mg tofacitinib BD.All patients will be assessed at the end of 6th month.If any adverse event occur they will be treated accordingly.

Axial Spondyloarthritis

The study subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria will receive tofacitinib 5mg BD.
All the patients in the study group will go through disease history, clinical examination and baseline investigations. Baseline charachteristics and variables will be recorded at initiation of therapy, 4th, 12th and 24th week. Primary endpoint of efficacy will be assessed using ASAS 20 response at the end of 12 th wk. At the end of 12 th week, those patients will achieve primary endpoint will continue with the same dose and those patients who will not achieve primary endpoint will be put on tofacitinib10 mg BD. Those patients who will not respond to treatment at the end of 24 th wk will discontinue the therapy and put on alternative treatment.

Safety and Efficacy of Tofacitinib in the Treatment of NSAID Refractory Axial Spondyloarthritis:A Clinical Trial

ASAS 20:It is a composite measurement which means improvement of ≥ 20% in 3 of the following 4 domains without 20% worsening in the remaining domain
Four domains
Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index(BASFI)-The 10 items index of daily functional activities completed on a numerical rating scale (NRS) 0-10. The higher the BASFI score, the more severe the limitation of function due to AxSpA
Morning stiffness
Patient global assessment
Pain

ASDAS-CRP: 0.121×total back pain+0.110×patient global+0.073×peripheral pain/swelling+0.058×duration of morning stiffness+0.579×Ln(CRP+1).

ASDAS-ESR: 0.113×patient global+0.293xESR−−−−√+0.086×peripheral pain/swelling+0.069×duration of morning stiffness+0.079×total back pain.
