Résumé

To evaluate tocilizumab (TCZ) efficacy in patients with refractory Behçet disease (BD). This is a multicenter study of 30 patients fulfilling the international criteria for BD and treated with TCZ at different European referral centers. The clinical response was evaluated at 6 months from TCZ initiation. Ninety percent of patients with BD were refractory or intolerant to anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents. Overall, TCZ was effective in 25 (83%) patients with BD of whom 18 (60%) and 7 (23%) were complete and partial responders, respectively. The complete response was 67%, 60%, and 42% in patients with uveitis (18/30), neurological manifestations (5/30), and mucocutaneous and/or articular (7/30) manifestations, respectively. TCZ had a significant steroid-sparing effect allowing patients to decrease their median daily prednisone dose from 20 (IQR 10-40) mg/day to 9 (IQR 5-13) mg at 6 months ( TCZ seems to be an effective alternative to anti-TNF agents in treating BD-related uveitis and neurological manifestations.
