Abatacept and prednisolone suppress the differentiation of mononuclear cells to mature fibrocytes in vitro in patients with RA, and data indicate a similar effect of tocilizumab; this was further supported by the observed dose-response relationship. Clinical trials are needed to compare the effect of these drugs on fibrotic RA manifestations, for example, RA-ILD.
