Actemra/RoActemra is a first-in-class anti-IL-6 receptor (aIL-6R) therapy. IL-6 is believed to play a key role in activating the inflammatory pathway that contributes to the signs and symptoms of RA and other inflammatory autoimmune conditions. Actemra/RoActemra binds to IL-6 receptors, blocking the pro-inflammatory effect of IL-6 cytokines.
