摘要
Anti-TNF alpha therapy has revolutionized the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory diseases. These drugs are powerful and expensive. A new anti-TNF alpha agent, a nanomolecule comprising a humanized Fab' antibody fragment against TNF alpha with a polyethylene glycol tail, is shortly to complete phase III trials in RA. In this review we will discuss the construct of this new molecule, data from trials so far, and its potential place in the market place.
