CASE OF USING THE INHIBITOR OF INTERLEUKIN 1 CANACINUMAB IN PATIENTS WITH AUTO INFLAMMATORY DISEASES

Abstract

Interleukin 1 (IL 1) is the main mediator for many auto inflammatory diseases (AID). Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) became the first diseases, for which the efficacy of IL 1 inhibitors was shown with a high degree of evidence. Canacinumb (totally human monoclonal antibodies to IL 1 is registered in Russia since 2011 for treating CAPS. At the moment research is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance to IL 1 inhibitors in patients with other AIDs. The accumulated experience and scarce randomizedcontrolled studies demonstrate a successful usage of IL 1 inhibitors in colchicine-resistant patients with family Mediterranean fever with the cupping of inflammation attacks, reducing the acute phase activity and also in patients with other monogenic (TRAPS, HIDS and others) and multifactorial pathologies (systemic juvenile arthritis, Stilk disease in adults, gout etc.). Using the IL 1 inhibitors, especially canacinumab, in patients with different AIDs has shown good tolerance and a high efficacy in all patients with no correlation to the age, according to Russian and world research. Thus, canacinumab, thanks to its therapeutic abilities, has broad perspectives in terms of lightening the disease course, improving survival, life quality and the overall prognosis.
