Over the last decades biopharmaceuticals such as agents against tumor necrosis factor (TNF), are frequently prescribed to optimize rheumatoid arthritis treatment. Although TNFi such as adalimumab, etanercept and infliximab, have improved the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, a proportion of
The tumor necrosis factor inhibitors(TNFi) like etanercept(ETN) has been always recommended as the primary treatment option for active AS.
