Highlights

Adalimumab (brand names Amjevita and Humira) is a fully human therapeutic monoclonal antibody targeting tumor necrosis factor alpha, a proinflammatory cytokine that is upregulated in several autoimmune inflammatory states.

 

Testing for adalimumab concentration and the presence of anti-adalimumab antibodies is helpful to adjust therapeutic strategies for patients starting therapy (proactive monitoring) and dosing or treatment strategy when partial response or loss of response to therapy is observed, manifested as recurrence of symptoms.
