QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each vial contains 25 mg of etanercept.
Etanercept is a human tumour necrosis factor receptor p75 Fc fusion
protein produced by recombinant
DNA technology in a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) mammalian expression
system. Etanercept is a
dimer of a chimeric protein genetically engineered by fusing the
extracellular ligand binding domain
of human tumour necrosis factor receptor-2 (TNFR2/p75) to the Fc
domain of human IgG1. This Fc
component contains the hinge, CH
2
and CH
3
regions, but not the CH
1
region of IgG1. Etanercept
contains 934 amino acids and has an apparent molecular weight of
approximately 150 kilodaltons. The
specific activity of etanercept is 1.7 x 10
6
units/mg.
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Rheumatoid arthritis
LIFMIOR in combination with methotrexate is indicated for the

rheumatoid arthritis in adults when the response to disease-modifying
antirheumatic drugs, including
methotrexate (unless contraindicated), has been inadequate.
LIFMIOR can be given as monotherapy in case of intolerance to
methotrexate or when continued
treatment with methotrexate is inappropriate.
LIFMIOR is also indicated in the treatment of severe, active and
progressive rheumatoid arthritis in
adults not previously treated with methotrexate.
LIFMIOR, alone or in combination with methotrexate, has
