    Abstract Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors are currently the most widely used biological agents to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Ozoralizumab (OZR), a novel TNF inhibitor, is an antibody using variable heavy-chain domains of heavy-chain antibody (VHHs) and became the first VHH drug approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in September 2022. VHHs isolated from camelid heavy-chain antibodies can bind antigens with a single molecule. OZR is a trivalent VHH that consists of two anti-human TNFα VHHs and one anti-human serum albumin (anti-HSA) VHH. This review summarizes OZR's unique structural characteristics and nonclinical and clinical data. The clinical data outline the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, relationship between efficacy and pharmacokinetics, and safety of OZR, focusing on a Phase II/III confirmatory study (OHZORA trial).

    Abstract Recent advances in our understanding in the immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) are explored and promoted by the targeted treatment. Among these targets, cytokines and cytokine receptors have become the good candidates for the drug development. In this review, the cytokine and cytokine receptors, which are approved in IMID, are overviewed, and modalities of the treatment, the role of cytokines and cytokine receptors in each disease, and the updated molecular information by modern technologies in rheumatoid arthritis as a role model are shown and discussed for the future perspectives.

    Abstract Biologic therapy involving anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (anti-TNFα) agents has fundamentally changed the management of patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, thus benefiting many patients. Nevertheless, the inability of some patients to achieve low disease activity or clinical remission remains a major concern. To address such concerns, next-generation anti-TNFα agents that differ from the immunoglobulin G-format anti-TNFα agents that have been used to date are being developed using antibody-engineering technology. Their unique design employing novel molecular characteristics affords several advantages, such as early improvement of clinical symptoms, optimization of drug bioavailability, enhancement of tissue penetration, and a reduction in side effects. This holds promise for a new paradigm shift in biologic therapy via the use of next-generation anti-TNFα agents. Ozoralizumab, a next-generation anti-TNFα agent that was recently approved in Japan, comprises a variable region heavy-chain format. It has a completely different structure from conventional therapeutic antibodies, such as a small molecular size, an albumin-binding module, and a unique format that produces an avidity effect. Ozoralizumab exhibited rapid biodistribution into joints, provided attenuation of Fcγ receptor-mediated inflammatory responses, and had a high binding affinity to TNFα in non-clinical studies. In clinical trials, ozoralizumab yielded an early improvement in clinical symptoms, a sustained efficacy for up to 52 weeks, and an acceptable tolerability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This review focuses on the results of pre-clinical and clinical trials for ozoralizumab and outlines the progress in next-generation antibody development.

    Abstract Objectives: Tocilizumab, an IL-6 inhibitor, has been proven effective in patients with adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). This study aimed to clarify whether tocilizumab can be discontinued after achieving remission and to identify factors relevant to its successful discontinuation.
    Methods: Consecutive patients with AOSD diagnosed according to Yamaguchi's criteria from April 2012 to July 2022, who were treated with tocilizumab, were retrospectively reviewed.
    Results: Forty-eight patients with AOSD treated with intravenous tocilizumab, with sufficient information, were included. Thirty-eight patients (79.2%) achieved remission after 6 months of tocilizumab treatment, 12 of whom discontinued tocilizumab during remission. Within 1 year after tocilizumab discontinuation, six patients (50.0%) recurred at a mean of 5.5 months, while the other six (50.0%) remained in remission. Between the non-recurrence and recurrence groups, no difference was found in disease activity at tocilizumab discontinuation (systemic feature score, p = 0.24; ferritin, p = 0.46). While the duration of tocilizumab use was not different (p = 0.32), the interval of tocilizumab administration at tocilizumab discontinuation in the recurrence group was 21 (14-35) days, which tended to be shorter than 35 (28-53) days in the non-recurrence group (p = 0.08). Patients with prednisolone dose < 7 mg/day at last tocilizumab treatment had fewer recurrences than those without (p = 0.001). After recurrence, tocilizumab was resumed in half of the patients, resulting in successful disease control.
    Conclusions: The recurrence rate after tocilizumab discontinuation was 50% in 1 year. Patients who remained in remission with a longer interval of tocilizumab administration and lower prednisolone dose were likely to succeed in the withdrawal of tocilizumab.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of tacrolimus as maintenance therapy in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) receiving treatment in real-world clinical settings in Japan.
    Methods: An open-label, noncomparative, observational, prospective postmarketing surveillance study was conducted in 1395 patients with LN receiving maintenance treatment with tacrolimus at 278 medical institutions across Japan over a period of 10 years. Tacrolimus continuation rate and cumulative incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), relapse, progression to renal failure, and progression to dialysis were calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
    Results: Safety data were available for 1355 patients, almost half (49.3%) of whom remained on tacrolimus for the full 10 years of follow-up. A significant reduction in mean (SD) daily oral corticosteroid dose was observed from 16.0 (9.7) mg/day at 4 weeks after initiation of tacrolimus treatment to 7.2 (4.4) mg/day at year 10 (
    Conclusion: Tacrolimus was effective and generally well tolerated as maintenance therapy for LN in a large cohort of patients in Japan followed for 10 years, almost half of whom remained on therapy for the entire duration of follow-up. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01410747).

    Abstract Introduction: Fatigue and malaise are commonly associated with a wide range of medical conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Evidence suggests that fatigue and malaise can be overwhelming for patients, yet these symptoms remain inadequately-managed, largely due to an incomplete elucidation of the underlying causes.
    Areas covered: In this assessment of the published literature relating to the pathogenesis of fatigue or malaise in chronic conditions, four key mechanistic themes were identified. Each theme (inflammation, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, dysautonomia, and monoamines) is discussed, as well as the complex network of interconnections between themes which suggests a key role for inflammatory cytokines in the development and persistence of fatigue.
    Expert opinion: Fatigue is multifaceted, poorly defined, and imperfectly comprehended. Moreover, the cause and severity of fatigue may change over time, as a consequence of the natural disease course or pharmacologic treatment. This detailed synthesis of available evidence permits us to identify avenues for current treatment optimization and future research, to improve the management of fatigue and malaise in RA. Within the development pipeline, several new anti-inflammatory therapies are currently under investigation, and we anticipate that the next five years will herald much-needed progress to reduce the debilitating nature of fatigue in patients with RA.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the efficacy and safety of TAS5315, an irreversible covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) refractory to methotrexate.
    Methods: In part A of this phase IIa double-blind study, patients were randomised to TAS5315 4 or 2 mg or placebo once daily for 12 weeks; in part B, all patients received TAS5315 for another 24 weeks. The proportion of patients meeting American College of Rheumatology criteria for 20% improvement (ACR20) at week 12 was assessed (primary endpoint).
    Results: Ninety-one patients were randomised in part A, and 84 entered part B. At week 12, 78.9% of patients achieved ACR20 in the TAS5315 combined group vs 60.0% with placebo (p=0.053), 33.3% vs 13.3% achieved ACR50 (p=0.072) and 7.0% vs 0.0% achieved ACR70 (p=0.294), respectively. More patients receiving TAS5315 than placebo had low disease activity or remission at week 12. Clinical and biomarker improvements were maintained during part B. Adverse event (AE) incidence in TAS5315 was similar to placebo in part A; common AEs with TAS5315 were nasopharyngitis (10.3%), pruritus (6.9%) and cystitis (5.2%). Over 36 weeks, nine patients experienced bleeding events of whom four and two patients recovered with drug continuation and interruption, respectively. Three patients recovered after TAS5315 discontinuation.
    Conclusions: The primary endpoint was not achieved. TAS5315 appears to have some bleeding risks, but nevertheless demonstrated numerical differences, compared with placebo, in the improvement rates of all measures of RA disease activity. Future analysis of the risk-benefit of TAS5315 should be considered.
