IndicationCertolizumab pegol has been approved for several different conditions listed below: - Symptomatic management of Chron's disease patients and for the maintenance of clinical response in patients with moderate to severe disease with inadequate response to conventional therapy. - Treatment of adult patients with moderate to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. - Treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis. - Treatment of adult patients with active ankylosing spondylitis. - Treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis that are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.[FDA label] - Treatment of adult patients with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis with objective signs of inflammation.[L5819] In Canada, certolizumab pegol is additionally approved in combination with [methotrexate] for the symptomatic treatment, including major clinical response, and for the reduction of joint damage in adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.[L5825] Inflammation is a biological response against a potential threat. This response can be normal but in certain conditions, the immune system can attack the body's normal cells or tissues which causes an abnormal inflammation.[L5840] TNF-alpha has been identified as a key regulator of the inflammatory response. The signaling cascades of this inflammatory mediator can produce a wide range of reactions including cell death, survival, differentiation, proliferation and migration.[A176660]
