Both upadacitinib and filgotinib have been referred to as “second-generation jakinibs” since they both preferentially inhibit JAK1 in vitro but their clinical efficacy and safety, to a large extent, is similar to pan-jakinibs in RA, although anemia and herpes zoster are seen less often with filgotinib.
