  • Title: New therapeutics in rheumatoid arthritis.
    Author: Savage C, St Clair EW.
    Journal: Rheum Dis Clin North Am; 2006 Feb; 32(1):57-74, viii. PubMed ID: 16504821.
    Abstract:
    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disorder characterized predominately by a chronic inflammatory polyarthritis, with frequent progression to joint destruction and disability. Radiographic joint damage develops in as many as 75% of patients within the first 2 years of disease. For this reason, current RA treatment approaches have focused on early intensive therapy with multiple disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The approval of new drugs for this indication has expanded the number of therapeutic options that can potentially allow for tight control of the inflammatory process.
