Infliximab dose adjustment can improve the clinical and radiographic outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis patients: REVIVE study results.


ABSTRACT: Purpose:We evaluated the clinical responses and radiographic outcomes of 90 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) undergoing continuous or dose-adjusted infliximab treatment over 104 weeks. Patients and methods:Patients received 3 mg/kg infliximab continuously (the contin group; n=50), or the dose escalation and de-escalation of infliximab (3, 6, and 10 mg/kg) from week 14 (the adjusted group; n=40) based on the patient's Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28). The retention rate, clinical response, and radiographic assessment were determined at week 104. Results:The contin and adjusted groups' retention rates at week 104 were 56.8 and 66.7%, and the groups' low disease activity in the DAS28 was 39.1 and 66.7%, respectively. Remission based on the DAS28 and the American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) Boolean-based criteria was significantly increased in the adjusted group. In the radiographic assessment, there was also a significant reduction in the mean changes in total Sharp score. The cumulative rates of any adverse effects showed no significant difference between the groups. Conclusion:In an assessment of adequate DAS28 results, the RA patients who did not respond to the initial dose of infliximab showed improved clinical responses and radiographic assessment after a dose adjustment of infliximab, without an increased risk of serious adverse events.
