| heal.abstract | In the last few years significant advances have been made in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, play a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. Anti-TNF-alpha biological agents are considered a major advance in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Adalimumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to TNF-alpha, thereby neutralising its activity. It had significant efficacy in well-designed, placebo-controlled trials in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, both as monotherapy and in combination with various disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, including methotrexate. Adalimumab was generally well tolerated during both concomitant therapy with methotrexate or standard antirheumatic therapy and monotherapy. In addition, the radiographic progression of structural joint damage was significantly inhibited by adalimumab and improved quality of life. This review summarises the recent available data. | en |
