- W79901769 abstract "Biological therapies, such as etanercept, adalimumab and infliximab, have demonstrated good efficacy in inducing rheumatoid arthritis to low disease activity levels. Nevertheless, their cost, as well as the related risk of side effects, especially in long-term therapies, are still high. Furthermore, there is a good deal of evidence proving loss of efficacy of such therapies in the long term, often necessitating the shift from one specific anti-TNF biological treatment to another. There are also other open debates on the amount of time a patient should undergo an anti-TNF therapy, on the possibility of inducing a complete remission in early arthritis and, once remission or low disease activity is obtained, on the possibility of interrupting the anti-TNF-based therapy. In this study we investigated whether A-Cyclosporin and Methotrexate association may be effective in maintaining low disease activity obtained by anti-TNF therapies. Twenty-three rheumatoid arthritis-affected patients, whose diagnosis was made according to ACR criteria, with a disease duration of less than 3 years, and DAS28<3.2 that reached a level of low disease activity within 6–8 months from beginning anti-TNF and Methotrexate therapy, were enrolled in the study. After the suspension of anti-TNF therapy, patients were started on A-Cyclosporine (2–3 mg/kg/day) and Methotrexate (15mg/week) therapy. DAS28, Pain VAS, Erythrosedimentation Rate (ESR), and C Reactive Protein (CRP) were all tested at time 0 and at 6 months, as well as liver and kidney profiles, after the interruption of the anti-TNF therapy and the beginning of A-Cyclosporine and Methotrexate therapy. Side effects were also recorded. Of 23 patients undergoing the A-Cyclosporin and Methotrexate therapy for maintaining low disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis obtained by 6–8 months of anti-TNF therapy, 21 completed the study with a 6 month follow-up. Thirteen patients maintained clinical parameters within low disease activity values, while 8 patients showed an increase in DAS28 and other parameters. Only two patients showed an increase in blood pressure that was diagnosed after two months from the beginning of the A-Cyclosporin and Methotrexate therapy. The reduction in the dosage of A-Cyclosporin from 3mg/kg/day to 2mg/kg/day caused a slow normalization of blood pressure values. Our data seem to suggest that more than half of the patients undergoing A-Cyclosporin and Methotrexate therapy seemed to maintain low disease activity parameters of rheumatoid arthritis, obtained after 6–8 months of anti-TNF therapy. Further studies on larger populations are necessary in order to confirm such results and identify predictor factors for different responses." @default.
