    In patients with rheumatoid arthritis initiating either TNF inhibitors or non-TNF inhibitor biologic therapies, severe obesity and low BMI each impeded treatment response, according to data published in Arthritis Care & Research.The researchers additionally found the efficacy of TNF inhibitor and non-TNF inhibitor therapies to be statistically similar across the range of body mass.

    Objective To determine whether patients with inflammatory autoimmune diseases treated with rituximab (RTX) have more severe forms of COVID-19 compared with patients treated with anticytokine therapies, such as Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) inhibitors. Methods We included all patients who were on either RTX or infliximab (IFX) in two Swiss cantons during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. We…

    Treat-to-target tapering of TNF inhibitors in patients with psoriatic arthritis or axial spondyloarthritis does not result in any negative impact on disease activity, compared with the full dose, according to data published in Rheumatology. “Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) have proven safe and effective in the treatment of spondyloarthritis (SpA), including psoriatic arthritis (PsA)

    Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors are effective treatments for autoimmune and rheumatic diseases. Here, Salomon reviews the complex pro-inflammatory and regulatory roles of TNF, highlighting its effects on the expansion, differentiation and suppressive function of regulatory T cells and their implications for the design of future anti-TNF agents.
