Certolizumab pegol (CDP870) is a PEGylated Fab' fragment of a humanized anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibody.

It is the subject of phase III clinical trials in both Crohn's disease[1] and rheumatoid arthritis. [1]

Positive results have been demonstrated in two phase III trials (PRECiSE 1 and 2) of certolizumab pegol vs placebo in moderate to severe active Crohn's disease.

In addition, data from both trials suggest it is well-tolerated. As yet its efficacy has not been directly compared to other anti-TNF-alpha agents.
