What is Kevzara?

Kevzara is an FDA-approved medication manufactured by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It is an interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have not had an adequate response or have an intolerance to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

What doses of Kevzara are available?

Kevzara is available in injection form, in the following doses: 150 mg/1.14 mL or 200 mg/1.14 mL solution in a single-dose pre-filled syringe.

Kevzara may be used as monotherapy or with methotrexate (MTX) or other conventional DMARDs. The recommended dosage of Kevzara is 200 mg once every two weeks, given as a subcutaneous injection. Modification of dosage to manage neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and/or elevated liver transaminases is required.

Blood tests are used to monitor for any changes to liver enzymes, cholesterol, and for reductions in blood cell counts while taking sarilumab.

Always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Kevzara active ingredients

Sarilumab is classed as an Interleukin inhibitor. Interleukin inhibitors are immunosuppressive agents that block the action of interleukins. Interleukins are a group of cytokines that are made by lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and certain other cells. They function in the regulation of the immune system.

Sarilumab binds to both soluble and membrane-bound IL-6 receptors. It has been shown to block IL-6-mediated signaling through these receptors. IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by a variety of cell types including T-and B-cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, and fibroblasts. IL-6 has been shown to be involved in a wide range of processes such as T-cell activation, induction of immunoglobulin secretion, initiation of hepatic acute phase protein production, and stimulation of hematopoietic precursor cell growth. IL-6 is also produced by synovial and endothelial cells leading to local production of IL-6 in joints affected by inflammatory processes such as rheumatoid arthritis.
