GSK 165 (aGM-CSF): potential for a disease modifying effect in
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a unique impact on pain

The
agent
-
GM-CSF is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that induces
differentiation and proliferation of granulocytes and macrophages
One of the first cytokines detected in human synovial fluid from
inflamed joints
- Preclinical data suggests a broader range of actions than existing
biologics (including a beneficial effect on pain)
GSK'165 is a fully humanised antibody targeting anti-granulocyte
macrophage colony-stimulating factor (aGM-CSF)
Unmet need remains in RA despite
development of new classes of agent (JAK
inhibitors, anti IL6): ~50% of patients do not
achieve low disease activity criteria within 12
months of aTNF treatment and ~80% do not
achieve Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)1
Currently 45% of patients report daily
pain despite treatment with targeted
therapies and pain is the key driver
in 25% of switches1
