Table 2B.

Incidence of serious infections, herpes zoster-related disease and malignancy per 100 patient-years, from week 0 to week 52 (SAF)

Placebo (N=101) Peficitinib 100 mg (N=104) Peficitinib 150 mg (N=102) Peficitinib 100 mg +
150 mg (N=206)
Peficitinib total* (N=296) Etanercept (open-label arm) (N=200)
Serious infections
Patient-years 22.6 88.2 92.1 180.3 245.7 195.5
Number of patients who had at least one incidence 0 1 2 3 5 4
Incidence rate/100 patient-years (95% CI) 0.0 1.1 (0.2 to 8.1) 2.2 (0.5 to 8.7) 1.7 (0.5 to 5.2) 2.0 (0.8 to 4.9) 2.0 (0.8 to 5.5)
Herpes zoster-related disease (including varicella)
Patient-years 22.6 86.8 90.9 177.7 241.2 194.0
Number of patients who had at least one incidence 0 5 4 9 14 5
Incidence rate/100 patient-years (95% CI) 0.0 5.8 (2.4 to 13.8) 4.4 (1.7 to 11.7) 5.1 (2.6 to 9.7) 5.8 (3.4 to 9.8) 2.6 (1.1 to 6.2)
Malignancies
Patient-years 22.6 88.1 92.8 180.9 246.4 197.3
Number of patients who had at least one incidence 0 2 0 2 3 1
Incidence rate/100 patient-years (95% CI) 0.0 2.3 (0.6 to 9.1) 0.0 (- to -) 1.1 (0.3 to 4.4) 1.2 (0.4 to 3.8) 0.5 (0.1 to 3.6)

Patient-years was calculated from initial dose up to first incidence of the event for patients who had at least one event, and from initial dose through follow-up for patients who had no events; incidence rate is calculated as (100 × number of patients who had at least one incidence/total patient-years).

*Included adverse events occurring during treatment with peficitinib in patients who were initially treated with placebo and switched to peficitinib at week 12.
