In axial spondyloarthritis (SpA), the efficacy of certolizumab pegol (CZP), a novel pegylated anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha drug has not been investigated. We report that CZP showed a rapid effectiveness, assessed clinically and by magnetic resonance imaging, in a patient with a non-radiographic axial SpA, classified according to Assessment in SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria. This case suggests that CZP could be considered an useful treatment in non-radiographic axial SpA, supporting that an earlier therapeutic approach could play a relevant role in the management of the disease.
在轴向型脊柱关节炎(SpA)中,新型聚乙二醇化抗肿瘤坏死因子α药物赛妥珠单抗(CZP)的疗效尚未得到研究。我们报告,根据国际脊柱关节炎评估协会(ASAS)标准分类,一名非放射学轴向型SpA患者经临床和磁共振成像评估显示,CZP具有快速疗效。该病例表明,CZP可被视为非放射学轴向型SpA的一种有效治疗方法,支持早期治疗方法在该疾病管理中可能发挥重要作用。
