- Overall, double-blind reviews had better quality ratings compared to single-blind ones, meaning they were considered more helpful.
Certolizumab pegol, abatacept, tocilizumab or active conventional treatment in early rheumatoid arthritis: 48-week clinical and radiographic results of the investigator-initiated randomised controlled NORD-STAR trial.
Ann Rheum Dis
October 2023
Background: The optimal first-line treatment in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is debated. We compared clinical and radiographic outcomes of active conventional therapy with each of three biological treatments with different modes of action.
Methods: Investigator-initiated, randomised, blinded-assessor study.
Article Synopsis
- * It was found that immunization (anti-drug antibodies, or ADAb) affected drug efficacy, with 11% of patients having detectable ADAb, most notably in those using certolizumab pegol.
- * Methotrexate use was shown to reduce the risk of ADAb formation, while low drug trough levels were common and linked to higher disease activity, highlighting the importance of monitoring drug levels in treated patients.
