Methotrexate Combined With Tofacitinib in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the leading cause of disability in Chinese women. We established a synovial pathology queue in the early stage and proposed a new synovial immunopathology classification. We found that baseline myeloid stromal RA patients had severe conditions and poor outcome. Early identification of synovial myeloid stromal RA patients and intensified treatment are key to improving RA efficacy. This project aims to conduct a randomized, controlled, open label, multicenter clinical study on early intensified treatment of RA based on synovial pathology classification. 130 adult patients with synovial myeloid stromal type of primary treatment moderate to severe active RA were planned to be enrolled in three centers: Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University; Shenshan Medical Center, Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, and Guangzhou Panyu Central Hospital. They were randomly divided into an intensive treatment group and a conventional treatment group in a 1:1 ratio. The intensive treatment group was treated with methotrexate combined with tofacitinib, while the conventional treatment group was treated with methotrexate monotherapy. The expected intervention period is 12 weeks, with a follow-up period of 48 weeks. The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects who achieved ACR20 at week 12. Secondary endpoint indicators include improvement in disease activity and joint function among subjects at different follow-up points, safety, and the pr…
