The aim of the study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of tofacitinib, an oral Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis in healthy Japanese volunteers, and to compare these outcomes with those of healthy Western volunteers. Twenty‐five volunteers (Japanese, n = 16; Western [white], n = 9) were randomized to receive either 3 escalating single doses of tofacitinib (1, 5, and 30 mg), single‐dose tofacitinib (15 mg) followed by multiple doses (15 mg twice daily for 5 days), or placebo. No significant differences in systemic exposure to tofacitinib were detected between the 2 ethnicities. Following single tofacitinib 1, 5, and 30 mg doses, mean area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time zero to infinity ratio (Japanese/Western) values were 96.6%, 93.5%, and 95.6%, respectively. Similarly, mean maximum observed plasma concentration ratio values were 99.5%, 118%, and 119%, respectively. Mean renal clearance was also similar, ranging across doses from 134 mL/min (5 mg) to 162 mL/min (1 mg) in Japanese volunteers, and 124 mL/min (30 mg) to 160 mL/min (1 mg) in Western volunteers. In both ethnicities, most adverse events were mild. No serious adverse events or deaths were reported. The pharmacokinetics of tofacitinib were well characterized in healthy Japanese volunteers and were similar to those in Western volunteers.
