| Description | Adalimumab(1330 amino acids, molecular weight of approximately 148 kilodaltons) is a human monoclonal antibody against TNF-alpha. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology using a mammalian cell expression system. |
| Indication/Disease | For treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and Crohn's disease. |
| Pharmacodynamics | Used in the treatment of immune system mediated diseases, adalimumab binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its general cytokine effects, thereby reducing TNF-induced inflammation and halting tissue destruction. |
| Mechanism of Action | Adalimumab binds to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors. Adalimumab also lyses surface TNF expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement. |
| Toxicity | Rare side effects include: worsening or initiation of congestive heart failure, a lupus-like syndrome, lymphoma, medically significant cytopenias, and worsening or initiation of multiple sclerosis/neurological diseases. There has been reported pancytopenia and increased liver transaminases with the use of adalimumab, which suggests that laboratory value monitoring blood counts and liver function, at least intermittently, are important |
| Metabolism | Most likely removed by opsonization via the reticuloendothelial system. |
| Absorption | Bioavailability is 64% |
| 4.7-6.0 L |
| Clearance | 17 mL/hr [RA patients with dose 0.25-10 mg/kg] |

| Formulation | Adalimumab-adbm is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody specific for human tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Adalimumabadbm is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell expression system and is purified by a process that includes specific viral inactivation and removal steps. It consists of 1330 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 148 kilodaltons. |
| Physical Appearance | sterile, preservative-free solution |
| Route of Administration | subcutaneous administration. |
| Recommended Dosage | The dosage of Cyltezo for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis is 40 mg every other week. The dosage of Cyltezo for juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children up to 30 kg (66 lbs.) is 40 mg every other week. The initial dose of Cyltezo for adult Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis is 160 mg on Day 1(four 40 mg injections in one day or two 40 mg injections per day for two consecutive days); second dose two weeks later (Day 15) is 80 mg; two weeks later (Day 29) begin a maintenance dose of 40 mg every other week. The dosage of Cyltezo for plaque psoriasis is an 80 mg initial dose, followed by 40 mg every other week starting one week after initial dose. |
