Tocilizumab for rheumatoid arthritis

No authors listed. Drug Ther Bull. 2010 Jan.

Abstract

Tocilizumab (RoActemra-Roche) is a new biological agent available in the UK for the treatment of adults with rheumatoid arthritis.1 Unlike currently available biological agents, the drug targets the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6). Here, we consider the place of tocilizumab in rheumatoid arthritis and whether it offers any advantages over other biological agents.
