Tapering biologic and conventional DMARD therapy in rheumatoid arthritis: current evidence and future directions.
Improvements in the control of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by conventional synthetic and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) have led to a substantial change in the clinical outcomes of patients during the last 30 years. Current treatment can lead to sustained remission in some patients raising questions about the optimal management strategies in this subgroup ...
متن کاملBiologic Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common, chronic, inflammatory disease. It affects around 1% of the adult population in all age groups, although the incidence peaks during the fifth decade of life. The aetiology of RA is unknown, but it is considered to be autoimmune in nature. Inflammation in the synovial tissues of the joints is the hallmark of RA, causing pain, stiffness, loss of function and ...
متن کاملBeyond methotrexate: biologic therapy in rheumatoid arthritis.
Biologics have revolutionised the treatment of RA due to their efficacy, speed of onset and tolerability. Increasing evidence suggests that early intervention is the key to combating RA. The future challenge is to find the best time to introduce biologics into the treatment paradigm in the hope of inducing disease remission--something unthinkable even a decade ago.
متن کاملBiological tapering and sonographic flare in rheumatoid arthritis
This study aimed to evaluate the risk of ultrasound-detected synovitis after antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) tapering in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We recruited patients with rheumatoid arthritis who accepted TNF tapering. Gray-scale synovitis and power Doppler score in bilateral wrists at the dorsal radiolunate joint were evaluated. We defined a sum of bilateral wrist scores of ≥2 as ...
متن کامل[Predictors of response to biologic therapies in rheumatoid arthritis].
The advent of biological therapies has revolutionized the management of rheumatoid arthritis, demonstrating effectiveness in controlling clinical and radiological damage. However, 20 to 40% of the patients will not respond to these therapies, which are associated to a very high cost. In addition, non-responder patients are exposed to possible adverse effects. For these reasons, we need to ident...
