The effect of tocilizumab on bone mineral density in patients with methotrexate-resistant active rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: TCZ affects BMD in patients who had active RA despite treatment with MTX. BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck in patients with normal BMD at baseline was stable. TCZ increased the BMD of patients who had osteopenia at baseline.

“…We can speculate that the prevalent detection of IL-23 in serum from both RA and PsA patients mirrors the systemic inflammatory response as demonstrated by its correlation with CRP levels in RA. On the contrary, higher SF levels of IL-6, IL-17 and TNF-α support the hypothesis of their major contribution locally, in joint inflammation, at the target tissue [32,33]. Statistically significant higher serum levels of IL-17 were observed in PsA than in RA, probably due to the elevated frequencies of IL-17 and IL-22 producing CD4+ T cells in PsA [34].…”

“…Notre étude confirme les résultats d'une étude prospective japonaise, ayant montré l'absence de changements dans la DMO chez les patients présentant une PR traités par Tableau 3 Différences dans les changements de la densité minérale osseuse (DMO) sur les 48 semaines, en fonction de l'AUC des corticoïdes (effet cumulatif), divisé en quartiles. TCZ et MTX, sur une période d'un an ; dans cette étude la DMO avait augmenté chez les patients ostéopéniques sous TCZ [24]. Un des résultats importants de notre étude est que nous n'avions pas observé de perte osseuse induite par les corticoïdes à 1 an.…”

“…[48] анализирова-лось влияние TЦЗ на МПК поясничного отдела позво-ночника и шейки бедренной кости у пациентов с РА. В это открытое проспективное исследование были вклю-чены 86 пациентов с активным РА (DAS28-СОЭ >3,2), получавших лечение МТ в дозе 12 мг/нед, которым впер-вые был назначен TЦЗ (8 мг/кг каждые 4 нед).…”
