TNF Inhibitor Treatment and Dramatic Stroke Risk Reduction in Patients with Deficiency of Adenosine Deaminase 2
Background/Purpose: Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in the ADA2 gene . Over 60 pathogenic…Abstract Number: 1012 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Apremilast Inhibits Immune Cells Support of Inflammatory Osteoclastogenesis
Background/Purpose: PsA is associated with bone erosion and inflammation-induced bone loss. This process is mediated by osteoclasts, and modulated by inflammatory cytokines (i.e. TNF, IL-1,…Abstract Number: 1871 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Progranulin Directly Binds To The CRD 2 and CRD3 Of TNFR Extracellular Domains
Background/Purpose: We previously reported that Progranulin (PGRN) bound to TNF receptors (TNFR) and was therapeutic in inflammatory arthritis (Tang, W., et al, Science, 2011). PGRN…Abstract Number: 472 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
More Positive Expectations of Treatment with Golimumab for Rheumatoid Arthritis Are Associated with Greater Improvement in Clinical Outcomes
Background/Purpose: Little is known about how patient and physician expectations relate to clinical outcomes. This study investigated the expectations that patients and physicians have at…Abstract Number: 471 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Efficacy and Safety of Golimumab As Add-On Therapy to Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs
Background/Purpose: This study evaluated golimumab (GLM) as add-on therapy in patients with active RA despite treatment with non-biologic DMARDs. Two GLM treatment strategies (subcutaneous [SC]…Abstract Number: 549 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Randomized, Open-Label Study of Maintenance of Partial Remission with Naproxen Vs No Treatment: Results of the Infliximab As First Line Therapy in Patients with Early Active Axial Spondyloarthritis Trial, Part II
Background/Purpose: In patients with axial SpA who have achieved partial remission, it is unclear whether continuous treatment with NSAIDs is superior to stopping treatment. Objectives:…Abstract Number: 779 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Changes in Active Inflammatory Lesions Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Results of the Infliximab As First Line Therapy in Patients with Early Active Axial Spondyloarthritis Trial
Background/Purpose: Few studies have evaluated changes in active inflammation of spine and sacroiliac (SI) joints by MRI during long-term treatment for axial SpA, and no…Abstract Number: 834 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Cetrorelix, a Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist, Significantly Reduces Tumour-Necrosis-Factor-Alpha and Demonstrates Efficacy in Patients with Active Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Proof-of-Concept, Double-Blind, Randomised Trial
Background/Purpose: The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is unclear, and treatment options can be improved. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates immune responses (1) and therefore might…
