Consider ENBREL “NOW” When Symptoms Are Moderate to Severe

ENBREL is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms of RA, inducing major clinical response, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. ENBREL can be initiated in combination with methotrexate (MTX) or used alone.1

The risk of progressive structural damage is high in patients with moderate to severe RA. Structural damage may still be occurring in your RA patients despite clinical improvements with MTX alone. Adding ENBREL to MTX early in moderate to severe RA has been proven more efficacious—clinically, structurally, and functionally—than MTX alone.

ENBREL has proven results

In clinical studies, patients on ENBREL achieved efficacy in moderate to severe RA across 3 measures1,2:

Reduction in clinical signs and symptoms
Inhibition of progression of structural damage
Improvement in physical function

ENBREL has long-term experience

ENBREL has extensive clinical experience as the first tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor approved in the United States in each of its indications. The efficacy and safety of ENBREL have been tested in clinical studies over 18 years.

  • In 1998, ENBREL was the first TNF inhibitor approved for moderate to severe RA in DMARD*-refractory patients
  • ENBREL has been evaluated in RA clinical studies over the past 18 years2
  • ENBREL has 12+ years of postmarketing experience and more than 2.8 million patient-years of postmarketing experience worldwide across indications2
  • ENBREL has 10+ years of continuous safety data in RA clinical trials2

 *DMARD = disease-modifying antirheumatic drug.
 Initial clinical research in RA patients began in 1993.
 Based on estimated number of patient-years from 1998 through September 2010. Estimated number of patient-years is calculated based on the number of ENBREL units distributed and an estimated average dose.
