Drs. Hoffman and Merkel have also been investigators of studies evaluating anti–tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapies in Wegener's granulomatosis and giant cell arteritis, which were partially funded by Centocor, Immunex, and Amgen. Dr. Brasington has also been an investigator of a study evaluating the role of anti-TNF therapy in rheumatoid arthritis, which was funded by Amgen, and has received speaker's fees from Immunex, Amgen, and Centocor.
