When treatment of rheumatic diseases with adalimumab fails, a physician may need to consider treatment options, such as adjusting dose or dosing intervals, switching to a different TNP blocker, or switching to a different drug agent, i.e. a non-TNF blocker. This assay specifically measures serum adalimumab levels. Several studies suggest a target adalimumab trough concentration of 5-12 mcg/mL.
|
The blood should be drawn just before the next infusion of
adalimumab to measure the trough drug level.
