No, not at all. the dramatic improvements in treatment of RA and other chronic inflammatory diseases only indicate how lousy therapy was. There is still lots of room for improvement.

That said, I always thought that it would take a cocktail of anti-TNF, anti-IL-1, anti-complement, etc. to demo significant protection. I have been amazed at the efficacy of anti-TNF therapy as a stand alone.

Kineret? Not as impressive as anti-TNF therapies, IMO. Amgen knows how to conduct large trials to get approval for marginal advances.
