ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BID, twice daily; CI, confidence interval; LTE, long‐term extension; P, Phase; PY, patient‐years; ULN, upper limit of normal.

The average total daily dose (TDD) of tofacitinib was calculated: patients were assigned to the 5 mg BID group if the TDD was <15 mg/d and to the 10 mg BID group if it was ≥15 mg/d.

The P123LTE population (Asia‐Pacific) included patients from one Phase 1 study, four Phase 2 studies, six Phase 3 studies, and two LTE studies.

The global population (Asia‐Pacific and all other study locations) included patients from two Phase 1 studies, 10 Phase 2 studies, six Phase 3 studies, and two LTE studies.
