A graphical guide on adalimumab treatment in outpatient clinic: a patient with psoriasis
Abstract
According to the guidelines of Polish Dermatological Society biological drugs from TNF-alpha inhibitor group (including adalimumab) should not be treated as innovative drugs but as a therapeutic standard, which results from many years of experience of specialists in use of this group of drugs. Treatment with biological drugs from the group of TNF-alpha inhibitors, including adalimumab, can be carried out in outpatient conditions, also in open treatment, outside of therapeutic programs. The eligibility and subsequent monitoring scheme for adalimumab treatment in the outpatient setting should be based on data from the patient’s medical history, provisions of current clinical guidelines, and the summary of product characteristics. According to its registration, adalimumab may be used in adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy. This provision allows adalimumab to be used both as a first-line generic treatment and after failure (or intolerance) of treatment with another systemic therapy (e.g., methotrexate, cyclosporine, or PUVA).
