摘要: The present application discloses methods for treating an IL-6-mediated disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic (JIA), systemic JIA (sJIA), polyarticular course (pcJIA), sclerosis, or giant cell arteritis (GCA), with subcutaneously administered antibody that binds interleukin-6 receptor (anti-IL-6R antibody). In particular, it relates to identification of a fixed dose anti-IL-6R antibody, e.g. tocilizumab, which is safe and effective subcutaneous administration in patients disorders. addition, formulations devices useful are disclosed.
