Objective. To analyze the clinical relevance of the levels of TNF alpha blockers and anti-drug antibodies (anti-drug Ab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) treated with adalimumab (ADA), etanercept (ETA), or infliximab (INF) for a prolonged period of time. Methods. Clinical characteristics (disease activity, and adverse events), serum TNF alpha blockers, and anti-drug Ab levels were evaluated in 62 RA and 81 SpA patients treated with TNF alpha blockers for a median of 28 months. Results. Anti-ADA Ab were detected in 1 (4.0%) and anti-INF Ab in 14 out of 57 (24.6%) RA and SpA patients. Patient with anti-ADA Ab and 57.1% patients with anti-INF Ab were considered nonresponders to treatment. Anti-ETA Ab were not found in any of 61 ETA treated patients. Anti-ADA and anti-INF Ab levels differ between responders and nonresponders (P > 0.05). Three (5.3%) patients with high serum anti-INF Ab levels developed infusion related reactions. Patients with anti-INF Ab more often required changing to another biologic drug (OR 11.43 (95% CI 1.08-120.93)) and treatment discontinuation (OR 9.28 (95% CI 1.64-52.52)). Conclusion. Patients not responding to treatment had higher serumanti-ADAand anti-INFAb concentrations. Anti-INFAb formation is related to increased risk of infusion related reactions, changing to another biologic drug, and treatment discontinuation.
