Digital ischaemia secondary to adalimumab-induced antiphospholipid syndrome

Abstract: A 50-year-old woman with a history of Crohn’s disease treated with adalimumab presented with left hand pain and duskiness. Angiogram showed non-filling of the radial and digital arteries of the hand. Antiphospholipid antibody testing was positive, leading to a diagnosis of antitumour necrosis factor-induced antiphospholipid syndrome. Adalimumab was discontinued, and she was treated with the vitamin K antagonist warfarin and low-dose aspirin. Upon resolution of the antiphospholipid antibodies, she was transitio… Show more

“…This trial should clarify the role of anti-TNF therapy for this APS manifestation. It is important to note that there are reported cases of the development 135,136 or exacerbation 137 of APS while using anti TNF therapy. These drugs currently have no role in other disease manifestations and may have deleterious effects.…”

“…This suggests that obinutuzumab might serve as a treatment option for APS cases that are resistant to rituximab. Belimumab [ 119 ], eculizumab [ 120 , 121 ], and TNF-α blockers such as adalimumab [ 122 , 123 ] have been reported to be effective in some cases, but additional data on their efficacy and safety profiles are needed for their routine clinical use.…”
