THU0214 Influence of Concomitant Methotrexate and Prednisolone Dose on Drug Inefficacy of Etanercept and Adalimumab in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract:Background
In treating RA patients with etanercept (ETN) or adalimumab (ADA), influence of concomitant disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (methotrexate [MTX], bucillamine, salazosulfapyridine, tacrolimus, and mizolibin) and prednisolone (PSL) on biologic inefficacy still remains controversial.
Objectives
The objective of this study is to compare the effect of DMARDs and PSL on biologic inefficacy of ETN and ADA, and to investigate the index of subcutaneous anti-TNF biologics selection in RA patie… Show more
