Sirukumab (INN, USAN) (developmental code name CNTO-136) is a human monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.[1] It acts against the proinflammatory cytokine Interleukin 6 (IL-6).

Sirukumab is currently under development by Johnson & Johnson's subsidiary Centocor and has started clinical trials.[2] and reported some phase II results.[3]

In December 2015 three phase III trials (SIRROUND-D, -H and -T) were collecting data.[4]

The drug is currently in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of depression.[1]
