Withdrawal of biologic therapy in axial spondyloarthritis: the experience in early disease.

Tumour necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNF-blockers) are recommended for the treatment of predominantly axial spondyloarthritis (SpA), after failure of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). TNF-blockers are very effective drugs and also show a sustained and stable long-term response in axial SpA. A few trials indicated that withdrawal of TNF-blockers in longstanding ankylosing spond...

Efficacy of etanercept for treatment of Crohn's related spondyloarthritis but not colitis.

The seronegative spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) are associated both with clinical and subclinical colitis. Recently biological blockade with the tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) antagonists infliximab and etanercept has been shown to be effective in the treatment of SpA. However, only infliximab is efficacious in the treatment of colitis in patients with Crohn's SpA. We report on two patie...

Anti-tumour necrosis factor α therapy for ankylosing spondylitis: international experience

The conventional approach to treatment of patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA), particularly ankylosing spondylitis (AS), has serious limitations, adding a sense of urgency to the evaluation of new treatments for these rheumatic disorders. Tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) is a cytokine that has been shown to mediate inflammatory and regulatory activities in SpA and other immune mediated disease...

Efficacy of Anti-TNF Agents as Adjunctive Therapy for Knee Synovitis Refractory to Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs in Patients with Peripheral Spondyloarthritis

Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors as add-on therapy for knee synovitis that did not respond to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and other standard treatments in patients with peripheral spondyloarthritis (SpA). We retrospectively studied 27 SpA patients, in whom an anti-TNF agent was added for active peripheral arthritis with knee...

Old and new treatment targets in axial spondyloarthritis.

Two main treatment targets in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) could be currently defined: (1) reduction of inflammation resulting in control of signs and symptoms such as pain and stiffness and (2) prevention or retardation of structural damage progression in the spine resulting in preservation of functional status and improvement in the long-term outcome. A good control of signs and symptoms c...

Progress in spondylarthritis. Mechanisms of new bone formation in spondyloarthritis

Targeted therapies that neutralize tumour necrosis factor are often able to control the signs and symptoms of spondyloarthritis. However, recent animal model data and clinical observations indicate that control of inflammation may not be sufficient to impede disease progression toward ankylosis in these patients. Bone morphogenetic proteins and WNTs (wingless-type like) are likely to play an im...
