Enbrel slows early rheumatoid arthritis progression
A Johns Hopkins study of 632 patients with under three years of RA found Enbrel halted disease progression in 72 percent with twice weekly injections for a year, outperforming methotrexate at 60 percent and with fewer side effects. The drug blocks tumor necrosis factor to reduce joint inflammation, aiding joint preservation. Another NEJM report notes Remicade, also TNF blocker, improved joint function in about half of patients on combination therapy after about a decade of disease.
