Ilaris (canakinumab)

Echinococcal infection promotes pathological osteoclastogenesis and osteolysis through IL-1β/c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling activation.

Data from this interim analysis support the long-term effectiveness and safety of canakinumab for the treatment of TRAPS.

This study sheds light on the molecular mechanisms of KRAS-mutated CRC, emphasizing IL1B as a prognostic marker. Among the identified therapeutic agents, Omeprazole demonstrated the strongest interaction with AHR, suggesting a potential for repurposing in CRC treatment, while IL1B-targeting inhibitors such as Canakinumab emerged as selective candidates for modulating tumor-promoting inflammation. Novel genes such as EPSTI1, COL20A1, CDH1, and SOX9 warrant further investigation.

By directly modulating inflammatory pathways, canakinumab significantly lowered the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) independent of lipid levels. Similarly, colchicine, an ancient anti-inflammatory drug, has gained renewed interest due to its efficacy in reducing cardiovascular events in patients with chronic coronary disease and recent myocardial infarction...In conclusion, targeted anti-inflammatory therapy represents a promising adjunct to traditional CVD treatments, potentially revolutionizing the management of cardiovascular events. Future studies are essential to optimize these strategies and fully integrate them into clinical practice, enhancing outcomes for patients with CVD.

The estimated prevalence of TRAPS in Slovakia is approximately 1 : 780 000, and the clinical features of these patients are comparable to those reported in European cohorts. Furthermore, the favorable therapeutic response to canakinumab supports its potential as an effective treatment option for TRAPS.
