Biological therapies

Biological and cellular therapies are a treatment option for various rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and psoriasis.

Biological therapies involve the use of proteins produced by the human body or genetically engineered to block or reduce the action of inflammatory mediators in the body. These proteins may include monoclonal antibodies, modified T-cell receptors and protein fusion molecules. Biological therapies can help reduce inflammation, improve joint function and prevent disease progression.
