Research Article: Therapeutic drug monitoring and neutralizing anti-drug antibody detection to optimize TNF-alpha inhibitor treatment for uveitis
Abstract:
Background: Adalimumab taken every other week is an effective treatment in patients with chronic refractory uveitis. Patients who have a suboptimal response to this treatment may suffer from recurrent inflammation and vision loss. Here, we investigated the use of therapeutic drug monitoring and neutralizing anti-drug antibody detection as a strategy to optimize tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor treatment in patients who have a suboptimal response to the initial dosing of adalimumab.
