Certolizumab pegol [1] (CDP870, tradename Cimzia) is a therapeutic monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), for the treatment of Crohn's disease[2] and rheumatoid arthritis, manufactured by UCB.[3][4][5]

Approvals and indications

Crohn's Disease
On April 22, 2008, the U.S. FDA approved Cimzia for the treatment of Crohn's disease in people who did not respond sufficiently or adequately to standard therapy.[4][6][7]
Rheumatoid arthritis
On June 26, 2009, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) issued a positive opinion recommending that the European Commission grant a marketing authorisation for Cimzia for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis only - the CHMP refused approval for the treatment of Crohn's disease. The marketing authorisation was granted to UCB Pharma SA on October 1, 2009.[8]
Psoriatic arthritis
On September 27, 2013, the U.S. FDA approved Cimzia for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis.[9]

Method of action

Certolizumab pegol is a monoclonal antibody directed against tumor necrosis factor alpha. More precisely, it is a PEGylated Fab' fragment of a humanized TNF inhibitor monoclonal antibody.[10]

Clinical trials

Crohn's disease
Positive results have been demonstrated in two phase III trials (PRECiSE 1 and 2) of certolizumab pegol versus placebo in moderate to severe active Crohn's disease.[2][10][11][12]
Axial spondyloarthritis
In 2013, a phase 3 double blind randomized placebo-controlled study found significantly positive results in patient self-reported questionnaires, with rapid improvement of function and pain reduction, in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.[13]
Rheumatoid arthritis
Certolizumab appears beneficial in those with rheumatoid arthritis.[14]

Side effects

Significant side effects occur in 2% of people who take the medication.[14]
