AIM The formation of epidural fibrosis adjacent to the dura mater after posterior spinal surgery is a normal reaction of the body to surgery. Extensive epidural fibrosis is one of the important causes of postlaminectomy syndrome. Etanercept inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha and decreases fibroblast migration. Thus, etanercept prevents the formation of fibrosis. The aim of this study was to i...
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a common, chronic, hyperproliferative disease of the skin characterized by overexpression of type 1 cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor α. There is concern that antitumor necrosis factor agents such as etanercept may increase the incidence of cutaneous malignancies; however, the data are conflicting. Our objective was to further understand the characteristics and ...
OBJECTIVES To evaluate prevalence of dose escalation among RA patients in normal clinical practice treated with etanercept, adalimumab or infliximab and to estimate its economic impact. METHODS A retrospective observational study of 739 patients with RA receiving continuous treatment with etanercept (n=319), adalimumab (n=313) or infliximab (n=107) for 18 months. Dose escalation, intensificat...
INTRODUCTION Biologic therapies have proven efficacious for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. However, their economic value compared with standard of care in Italy has not been explored. This study estimates the cost-effectiveness of intermittent therapy with etanercept in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis in comparison with nonsystemic therapy in Italy. METHODS...
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a major proinflammatory cytokine in the rheumatoid joint. TNF activity can be neutralized by administration of a recombinant version of its soluble p75 TNF receptor linked to the Fc portion of human immunoglobulin IgG1 (etanercept). The present study examined the combination of etanercept with methotrexate (MTX) in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA...
Comment. Previous case reports (6 total patients in 3 reports) describe uniformly effective results for the use of etanercept in PV. Our randomized, controlled study suggests that the response to etanercept is heterogeneous, although the small sample size precludes definitive conclusions. We observed 2 meaningful responses in the 4 patients who received etanercept and completed the study, altho...
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a major inflammatory cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). Etanercept, approved in the United States and in Europe for use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and JRA, is an effective inhibitor of TNF that has been shown to provide rapid and sustained improvement in both diseases. Here we report the preliminary result...
Many patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis do not respond adequately to methotrexate monotherapy. This pilot study, with a small patient population, was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of etanercept and methotrexate combination in patients with plaque psoriasis and inadequate response to methotrexate. Outpatients with plaque psoriasis (Psoriasis Area and Severity ...
10.2217/14750708.4.5.665 © 2 Among tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α neutralizing drugs, etanercept is unique in as much as it is a recombinant, fully human, soluble form of the TNF-α receptor. Previously licensed for the treatment of adult and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, recent double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trials have provided larg...
BACKGROUND Rats subjected to bile duct ligation (BDL) exhibit increased systemic oxidative stress and brain dysfunction characteristic of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), including fatigue, neurotransmitter alterations, cognitive and motor impairment, and brain inflammation. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) are both increased in plasma and bra...
