The following policy recommendations reflect the main themes and points made during the Policy Roundtable discussion at the December 9, 2019 CTAF public meeting on the use of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). At the meeting, ICER presented the findings of its revised report on these treatments and the CTAF voting panel deliberated on key questions related to their comparative clinical effectiveness, potential other benefits and contextual considerations, and long-term value for money at current prices. Following the votes, ICER convened a Policy Roundtable of two patients, two clinical experts, two payers, and two representatives from a pharmaceutical manufacturer to discuss how best to apply the evidence and votes to real-world practice and policy. The discussion reflected multiple perspectives and opinions, and therefore, none of the statements below should be taken as a consensus view held by all participants.
