European CHMP positive opinion of Roche's new subcutaneous formulation of RoACTEMRA for rheumatoid arthritis

European CHMP positive opinion of Roche's new subcutaneous formulation of RoACTEMRA  for rheumatoid arthritis | Rheumatology-Rhumatologie | Scoop.it

Upon approval, RoACTEMRA would be the first IL-6 biologic available in subcutaneous and intravenous administration for both monotherapy and combination therapyNew subcutaneous formulation would offer greater flexibility for rheumatoid arthritis patients

Roche announced today that the subcutaneous formulation of RoACTEMRA (tocilizumab) has received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) for the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients who have either responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to, previous therapy with one or more disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors.

As with the intravenous (IV) formulation indication, the CHMP has recommended approval of the subcutaneous formulation for use both as monotherapy and in combination with methotrexate (MTX).

RHUMATOLOGIE - RHEUMATOLOGY

Obviously a topic of interest for so many people:

 

for the patient, it includes aching muscles, tendons and joints..

for MDs and researchers, it covers degenerative diseases as well as arthritis, often associated with various autoimmune diseases (see autoimmunity http://www.scoop.it/t/autoimmunity).

 

Fortunately, new diagnostic tools are available

https://www.scoop.it/t/rheumatology-rhumatologie?q=diagnosis

and new biotherapies 

https://www.scoop.it/t/rheumatology-rhumatologie?q=therapy

allowed to improve the prognosis and the quality of life of patients

 

Guess why some topics are much covered than others?

 

Simply because, they were personal topics of research before, for instance

Synovial membrane

Crystal Deposition Diseases

Rheumatoid arthritis

 

with various methods

Scanning Electron Microscopy

Immunohistology

 

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

January 2016

still few viewers (#650) for this topic, but >1280 posts and 2000 views, much less than other immunology topics, but growing!
