Dual Cytokine Inhibition with ABT-122, a Tnf– and IL-17–Targeted Dual Variable Domain Immunoglobulin (DVD-Ig™): Results from a 24-Week Open-Label Extension Study in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: ABT-122 is a dual variable domain immunoglobulin (DVD-Ig™) that targets human tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-17A (IL-17A). The object was to investigate the…Abstract Number: 495 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relative Performance of 28-Joint Disease Activity Score Based on C-Reactive Protein with Three Versus Four Components in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The commonly used version of the 28-joint disease activity score based on C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP4) includes swollen and tender joint counts (S/TJC), CRP and…Abstract Number: 598 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Assessment of the Correlation Between Gender and Anticipated Drug Retention to TNF Inhibitors: A Meta-Regression Analysis
Background/Purpose: It is generally believed that a wide variety of patient-specific factors, and in particular gender, are likely to influence the response and tolerability of…Abstract Number: 910 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Inhibitor Use and the Risk of Incident Hypertension in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Results from several small studies support the potential blood pressure lowering effect of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Yet,…Abstract Number: 1096 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
