A

SubQ

29
Q

How are rituximab and abacept administed?

A

IV

30
Q

What are the two inhibitors

A

Leflunomide and Mycophenolate mofetil

31
Q

What is the MOA of Leflunomide?

A

  • Secondary mechanism of action is inhibitionof cytokines and growth factor receptor associated with TK activity
  • Inhibits the induction of COX2
32
Q

What are the contraindications of Leflunomide?

A

Pregnancy, breast feeding, hepatic and renal failure

33
Q

What is the MOA of Mycophenolate Mofetil?

A

34
Q

What are the contraindications to Mycophenolate mofetil?

A

Active GI disease, diarrhea, pregnant, breast feeding, infections

35
Q

What is the MOA of anakinra?

A

-Recombinant non glycosylated form of the human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist

36
Q

What is the use of Anakinra?

A

RA patients experienced improvements of swollen and painful joints
-Given SubQ

37
Q

What are the contraindications to Anakinra?

A

Breast feeding, children, hypersensitivity reactions, renal disease

38
Q

What is the MOA of tocilizumab?

A
  • Humanized interleukin-6 receptor inhibiting monoclonal antibody
  • competes for IL-6 for binding to the IL-6 receptor

A

-Primarily inhibits JAK1 and JAK3 and to a lesser extent, JAK2

41
Q

What is the use of Tafcitinib?

A

-For adults with moderately to severely active RA who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate

42
Q

What is the MOA of Baricitinib?

A

-Oral JAK inhibitor, has greater affinity for JAK1 and JAK2 relative to JAK3

43
Q

What is the used of Baricitinib?

A
  • Indicated for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active RA
  • may be used as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate or other non-biologic DMARDs
