Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Etanercept Abstract #1947 Randomized controlled trial of 25 mg vs 50 mg Enbrel® (etanercept) twice weekly in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) M Schiff, P Mease, M Weinblatt, L Moreland, D Burge. Denver, Seattle, Boston, Birmingham. Etanercept is recommended currently at a dose of 25 mg twice weekly. This study was undertaken to determine whether a higher dose is safe and provides additional efficacy for treatment of RA. The bottom line in this study was that patients treated with 50 mg twice weekly had more rapid improvement in signs and symptoms of RA but, by the end of 6 months, responses were identical to those receiving 25 mg twice weekly. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
