This study investigated the efficacy and safety of switching from tofacitinib (TOF) or upadacitinib (UPA) to the JAK1-selective filgotinib (FIL) in patients maintaining remission. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study involving 13 UC patients who achieved clinical remission with TOF or UPA and subsequently switched to FIL. The primary endpoint was the cumulative non-relapse rate. Results: During a median follow-up of 679 days, symptomatic relapse occurred in 53.8% (7\/13) of patients. The 1-year cumulative non-relapse rate was 71.4% for the TOF-switch group and 31.3% for the UPA-switch group. However, many relapses were successfully managed through temporary treatment adjustments, including FIL dose escalation or topical therapy. No serious adverse events were recorded. Conclusion: Sequential switching to FIL may represent a practical intermediate maintenance strategy before complete drug withdrawal, balancing disease control with potential safety benefits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000552136","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]],"date-time":"2026-04-21T14:31:27Z","timestamp":1776781887000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Sequential Janus Kinase Inhibitor Switching in Ulcerative Colitis Patients Maintaining Remission: A Multicenter Experience"],"prefix":"10.1159","author":[{"given":"Genta","family":"Uchida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4779-9708","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tsunaki","family":"Sawada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5444-143X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masanao","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4994-016X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takeshi","family":"Yamamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keiko","family":"Maeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eri","family":"Ishikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kentaro","family":"Murate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomoyuki","family":"Tsuzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Kawashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/25785826.2023.2195522"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gutjnl-2019-318448"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gutjnl-2021-326390"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2024.10.001"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)00666-8"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/apt.17379"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/apt.18406"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/apt.70199"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/apt.16712"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-1253(25)00017-2"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ecco-jcc\/jjx101"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/crocol\/otaf020"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2020.06.043"}],"container-title":["Digestion"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article-pdf\/doi\/10.1159\/000552136","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,22]],"date-time":"2026-06-22T16:01:37Z","timestamp":1782144097000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000552136"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]]},"references-count":13,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000552136","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0012-2823","1421-9867"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0012-2823","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9867","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]]}}}
