Popis: Objectives: Inadequate response to adalimumab can be caused by insufficient blockade of the target tumour necrosis factor (TNF) at low serum concentrations. In such cases, patients may respond to another TNF inhibitor. We investigated whether the serum adalimumab concentration is related to the efficacy of a second TNF inhibitor, etanercept, in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Patients with RA starting etanercept treatment were prospectively observed in the Reade Rheumatology Registry. In patients previously on adalimumab, serum concentrations were determined before treatment discontinuation. According to this concentration, three subgroups were formed
