Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs

Disease-modifying Anti-rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs)... [Pg.428]

Unfortunately, a substantial proportion of patients with autoimmune inflammatory diseases have become refractory to NSAIDs, and/or oral or intravenous Disease Modifying Anti Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs). However, oral combinations of DMARDs generate better outcomes compared to single drug therapy in autoimmune disease. Even autoimmune diseases can become refractory to oral DMARD combinations. [Pg.660]

In eight children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, who had failed to respond to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, high-dose etanercept was well tolerated (35). None withdrew because of etanercept-related adverse events. One child reported transient erythema at the injection site after the first injection. Three had mild transient upper respiratory tract infections. There were no laboratory abnormalities. [Pg.1281]

Leflunomide has anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and virustatic effects. Its efficacy has been demonstrated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis and other conditions in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials and other studies (8-32), and it was approved for treatment of adult rheumatoid arthritis in August 1998 (Table 1) (33). In three large phase III trials (US301, n = 482 MN301, n = 358 MN302, n = 999), leflunomide was as effective and well tolerated as methotrexate and sulfasalazine and superior to placebo (34). These data were confirmed by a meta-analysis (35,36). Leflunomide is therefore indicated for patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have failed first-line disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug therapy on the basis of efficacy, safety, and costs (36). It is effective as monotherapy and in combination with methotrexate or infliximab (6). [Pg.2016]
