The therapy of autoinflammatory syndromes is an excellent example of the power of
translational research. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular and
immunologic basis of this newly identified classification of disease have allowed
for the application of novel, effective, targeted treatments with life-changing
effects on patients. Although colchicine and TNF-alpha inhibitors are important
therapies for specific autoinflammatory syndromes, the novel IL-1-targeted drugs
are particularly effective for many of these diseases. Recently, the
pharmaceutical industry has adopted a strategy of confirming the efficacy of new
targeted drugs in often-ignored patients with orphan diseases, and US Food and
Drug Administration policies have allowed for accelerated approval of these
drugs, creating a win-win situation for patients and industry. This article
reviews the general approach to the therapy of autoinflammatory diseases,
focusing on current approved therapies and novel approaches that might be used in
the future.
