Abstract
Levilimab is a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-6 receptors and having a potent anti-inflammatory activity. Efficacy and safety of levilimab for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis were established in multicenter, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials AURORA and SOLAR. The authors present two patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were treated successfully with levilimab and discuss various issues of its use in clinical practice.
