To assess the efficacy and safety of switching to infliximab (IFX) from other biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) among Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in daily practice.
Safety,Efficacy

The primary endpoint in this study was the rate of achievement of LDA or remission at week 22after the introduction of infliximab. The adverse events during the observation period.

Patients receive IFX (3 mg/kg) at 0, 2, 6, 14 and 22 weeks. The dose escalation of IFX to 6 mg/kg was allowed after 14 weeks if DAS28-ESR remission had not been achieved according to medicinal application of the national insurance program in Japan.

Efficacy of infliximab as a switched biologic in rheumatoid arthritis patients in daily clinical practice

From other patients to infliximab (IFX) from other biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) among Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in daily practice.
Methods: We examined 24 consecutive RA patient who had not achieved low disease activity (LDA) as the Disease Activity Score-28 for Rheumatoid Arthritis with Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS 28 - ESR) despite previous bDMARD therapy in this cohort study. DAS 28 - ESR LDA at 22 weeks post - IFX introduction, by performing univariate analysis.
Results: The median DAS 28 - ESR at baseline was 5.41. Sixteen patients (66.7%) had been treated with a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNF - i), and the other eight patients (33.3%) received a non - TNF - i abatacept or tocilizumab) achieved LDA or remission at 22 weeks. Univariate analyses showed that the variable to predict LDA achievement at 22 weeks was tender joints (> 8 counts) at baseline (adjusted odds ratio, 0.10; 95 % confidence interval, 0.01 - 0.63; P = 0.02), whereas the other baseline clinical variables including MTX dosage, disease duration and the previous usage of TNF-i not not associated with LDA achievement. and infection requiring hospitalization was observed in one patient.
Conclusion: Switching to IFX is effective to achieve LDA or remission for RA patients refractory to bDMARDs.
