Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease characterised by inflammation of synovial joints and poses a substantial healthcare burden on both the individual and society. One of the most significant shifts in the RA therapeutic landscape has occurred with the introduction of biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). There are five classes of bDMARDs currently available, each with a different molecular target and subtle differences in their efficacy and safety profile. This review also describes the "real-world" use of bDMARDs and how they fit into the overall RA treatment guidelines.
类风湿性关节炎(RA)是一种以滑膜关节炎症为特征的疾病,给个人和社会都带来了沉重的医疗负担。随着生物性疾病改善抗风湿药物(bDMARDs)的引入,RA治疗领域发生了最显著的转变之一。目前有五类bDMARDs可供使用,每类都有不同的分子靶点,其疗效和安全性也存在细微差异。本综述还描述了bDMARDs的“实际应用”以及它们如何融入整体RA治疗指南。
