Biology of Anti-TNF Agents in Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases: Therapeutic Implications

Acceso Cerrado

Abstract:

Biologics are increasingly being used to modify the course of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Some main agents are monoclonal antibodies and a fusion-protein that target TNF. This group includes adalimumab, infliximab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab and etanercept. Although the efficacy of anti-TNFs is supported by numerous randomized clinical trials, their pharmacokinetics depend on many factors, in particular immunogenicity, which can cause marked and rapid clearance and a consequent decrease in efficacy. Kinetics involve receptors that recognize the Fc fragment of the antibody and are responsible for various processes. Pharmacological advances permit optimizing the pharmacokinetics of anti-TNFs. In this review, we examine the kinetics of anti-TNF biologics, and consequent therapeutic implications, and overview some latest developments in the field.
