In the collagen-induced arthritis model, JTE-052 ameliorated articular swelling and joint damage actually in restorative treatments where methotrexate was ineffective. Conclusions The present results indicate that JTE-052 is definitely a highly potent JAK inhibitor, and represents a candidate anti-inflammatory agent for suppressing various types of swelling.
