EP: 14.Cycling Within TNF Inhibitors: Complications and Factors Influencing Treatment Choices

Video content above is prompted by the following:

• If a patient continues to cycle tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) and does not achieve remission, how do complications, such as irreversible joint erosion, potentially affect patient quality of life?
• With the wide range of treatment options, why do you think providers are continuing to choose a second or even a third TNFi after the first fails?
• Are there access barriers to switching mechanism of action (MOA)? What are other barriers to care exist when switching to another MOA vs cycling a TNF?
• What treatment considerations do you give to a patient who initially responds well to a TNFi but the response wanes over time?
