Adult patients with active PsA were evaluated in clinical trials. Patients in the clinical studies were taking background medicines such as methotrexate. One study evaluated patients when another medicine such as methotrexate did not work well or could not be tolerated. A second study evaluated patients when medicines called TNF blockers did not work well or could not be tolerated. XELJANZ is approved for use in patients when TNF blockers did not work well or could not be tolerated.

How XELJANZ Works

XELJANZ is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that helps regulate an overactive immune system. It helps disrupt JAK pathways from inside the cells, which are believed to play a role in inflammation.
