* Average dosing was based on average daily dose: patients receiving <15 mg/day were assigned to the tofacitinib 5 mg BID group; patients receiving ≥15 mg/day were assigned to the tofacitinib 10 mg BID group.
† Defined as requiring hospitalisation or parenteral antimicrobial therapy, or otherwise meeting SAE criteria.
‡Lymphoproliferative disorders/lymphoma. In total, 11/12 events were classified as non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
§Patients with a DVT event, a PE event, or both DVT and PE events. A total of five patients experienced a DVT and a PE event (may not have occurred at the same time).
