Safety and efficacy of up to eight years of continuous etanercept therapy in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

The authors led by Chih-Shung Wong of Cathay General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, designed an experiment to evaluate the effects of etanercept in rats that had been made morphine tolerant.

Etanercept was first evaluated as monotherapy in a phase II, randomized, dose-ranging, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.

A total of 43 patients have been switched from infliximab to etanercept because of toxicity or lack of efficacy.

In these studies, the overall safety profile of ixekizumab was comparable to etanercept.

Patients with early, active RA were randomized to receive either twice-weekly subcutaneous etanercept (10 mg or 25 mg) or weekly oral MTX (mean dosage 19 mg/week).

Treatment with subcutaneous etanercept (50 mg/week) was initiated.

All patients in the study were on monotherapy with methotrexate, etanercept, adalimumab, ustekinumab, or narrow-band UVB phototherapy (NBUVB).

TNF-[alpha] inhibitors include infliximab and adalimumab, which are among monoclonal antibodies, and etanercept in receptor form.

In March 2003, her rheumatologist started etanercept for treatment of refractory psoriasis and discontinued cyclosporin, following which the psoriatic lesions improved.

The MAA for the etanercept biosimilar was based on data from a Phase 3, controlled, randomized, multicenter study in Europe where SB4 demonstrated its comparability to Enbrel[sup.
