Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are a new class of molecules available to the therapeutic arsenal for chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.The tolerance profile of this new class needs to be better defined and its use in real life further established. The French Society of Rheumatologists intends to coordinate a prospective national registry study for this follow-up. This registry will include at least 1500 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and 150 patients with psoriatic arthritis from the start of treatment with JAK inhibitor and then followed for 5 years. This registry is a longitudinal, multicentre, observational registry study. The objective of this national registry is to get a better understanding of the safety profiles of JAK inhibitors and get knowledge of their use in daily practice in order to optimize this use and potentially integrate JAK inhibitors into personalised medicine strategies. This registry will generate efficacy data, especially therapeutic maintenance, observation, allowing inter-registry comparisons with other biologic compounds in the French population, and can be aggregated with other similar registries in other countries.
Design: This registry is a longitudinal, multicentre, observational registry study, with continuous and ambispective collection of clinical and laboratory data. The patients will be followed for 5 years, regardless of the therapeutic modifications occurring thereafter. Target population: Patients initiating JAK inhibitor therapy for inflammatory rheumatic disorder. Number of patients and centres : * The objective is to include, per drug available on the market, at least 300 to 500 patients with RA and at least 100 to 150 patients with psoriatic arthritis. If a JAK inhibitor is approved in a new indication of chronic rheumatic disease by European Medicines Agency (EMA), the number of patients to include for each molecule in this indication will be adjusted as a function of the prevalence/epidemiology of each disease. Products currently available (baricitinib and tofacitinib) will be considered at the start of this registry; then every new indication for an already approved drug or every new drug in the same therapeutic class starting from the date they are placed on the market will be considered. * More than 80 centers in France (hospital-based, public and private practice) will participate.

Therapeutic maintenance of JAK inhibitors
The therapeutic maintenance will be measured by the retention rate ie the percentage of patients remaining treated by JAK inhibitors.
Time frame: From the beginning of the study up to Year 1
Real-life tolerance of JAK inhibitors
Occurence of adverse events and action taken (temporary or final stop to JAK inhibitor treatment upon the occurrence of adverse event).
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Real-life tolerance of JAK inhibitors in sub-groups
Occurence of adverse events and action taken (temporary or final stop to JAK inhibitor treatment upon the occurrence of adverse event), in an older population or presenting with comorbidities
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Efficacy of JAK inhibitors
Evaluated using clinical data (list is not exhaustive): number of swelling joints (NAG), number of tender joints (NAD), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), the visual analogic scale (VAS) for disease activity evaluated by the patient and by the physician.
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Comparison of JAK inhibitors efficacy (monotherapy versus combination with DMARDS)
Evaluate the efficacy of JAK inhibitors administered as monotherapy versus combination with a conventional synthetic DMARDs
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Efficacy of JAK inhibitors dose (full doses versus half doses)
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Use of JAK inhibitors in current practice
Starting dosage, therapeutic adjustments, etc.
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Place of JAK inhibitors in real-life practice in the treatment arsenal for patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic disorders
Therapeutic history of the patient regarding DMARDs before starting treatment with a JAK inhibitor
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Patient reported outcomes: Quality of life
Analyse the effect of JAK inhibitors on patient reported outcomes in regard to quality of life and functional impact : Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) questionnaire
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Patient reported outcomes: Acceptance
Analyse the effect of JAK inhibitors on patient reported outcomes in regard to acceptance : treatment acceptance questionnaire
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Patient reported outcomes: Compliance
Analyse the effect of JAK inhibitors on patient reported outcomes in regard to Compliance : compliance questionnaire (Morisky-Green self-questionnaire)
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
Drug interactions
Identify new drug interactions
Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up

Time frame: From the beginning of the study until the end of the 5 years follow-up
