  26. TOWARD a New Future and a New OPTION in RA: Summary ACTEMRA 8 mg/kg + DMARDs compared with placebo + DMARDs resulted in: Higher proportion of patients achieving ACR20, ACR50, ACR70 and good/moderate EULAR responses Higher mean reduction in DAS28 Higher DAS28 remission rates Rapid reduction in clinical and laboratory variables of inflammation with normalisation of CRP and haemoglobin levels ACTEMRA 8 mg/kg + DMARDs was well tolerated in patients who had an inadequate response to prior DMARD therapy

  27. TOWARD a new future and a new OPTION in RA: Conclusions ACTEMRA: Significantly decreased disease activity and this improvement was sustained over 24 weeks Improved fatigue and reduced inflammation, as demonstrated by rapid and sustained normalisation of CRP levels Normalised haemoglobin levels in RA patients with chronic anaemia Led to rapid, sustained and clinically relevant improvement in patient quality of life, as demonstrated by improvements in HAQ-DI and SF-36 scores
