生物学的製剤,特に抗サイトカイン療法は,従来の低分子化合物と比較して非常に高い選択特異性と直接毒性の低さに基づき,十分量投与での画期的なリスク・ベネフィットバランスを可能にし,“proof-of-concept”の治療を実現した.主に点滴静注と皮下注射の製剤があり,現在わが国で市販されているのは腫瘍壊死因子(TNF)とインターロイキン(IL)-6を標的とした製剤である.これらの製剤のより,関節リウマチなどの多くの難治性疾患患者にも寛解導入が可能となりつつある.
Biological agents, especially anti-cytokine drugs, made “proof-of-concept” therapy possible by their administration at sufficient doses based on excellent risk-benefit balance compared with low-molecular-weight chemical compounds. Biological agents can be administered intravenously or intracutaneously or intracutaneously, and at present, biological agents targeting tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-6 are available in Japan. With those biological agents, remission induction has become a realistic goal in most of the patients with refractory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
