Whole‐Blood RNA Sequencing Profiling of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated With Tofacitinib by Chiara Bellocchi, Ennio Giulio Favalli, Gabriella Maioli, Elena Agape, Marzia Rossato, Matteo Paini, Adriana Severino, Barbara Vigone, Martina Biggioggero, Elena Trombetta, Roberto Caporali, Lorenzo Beretta

“…Objective Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often fail to respond to therapies, including JAK inhibitors (JAKi), and treatment allocation is made via a trial‐and‐error strategy. A comprehensive analysis of responses to JAKi, including tofacitinib, by RNA sequencing (RNAseq) would allow the discovery of transcriptomic markers with a two‐fold meaning: (1) an improved knowledge about the mechanisms of response to treatment (inference modeling) and (2) the definition of features that may be useful in treatment optimization and assignment (predictive modeling). …”
