Antiinflammatory activity of a new preparation Artrofoon (antibodies against tumor necrosis factor-α in ultralow doses) and nonsteroid antiinflammatory drug diclofenac in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was compared in an open randomized trial. The course of treatment with Artrofoon more significantly improved clinical and laboratory signs in patients with the articular form of rheumatoid arthritis than diclofenac.

TLDR
It was shown that dilutions of parent substance prepared using this technology have one common peculiarity - they are capable to exert direct modifying effect on parent substance altering spatial structure ofparent substance and consequently its physical, chemical and biological properties.

Anti-cytokine therapy for rheumatoid arthritis.
TLDR
DMARD-recalcitrant disease may become the main indication for the use of anti-TNF drugs in patients with RA and trials of IL-1 receptor antagonist show a relatively modest anti-inflammatory effect and a possible retardation of joint damage.

TLDR
Overall these studies demonstrate that analysis of cytokine expression and regulation may yield effective therapeutic targets in inflammatory disease.
