This study followed patients who received a Cadence artificial ankle replacement to see how well the implant held up over time and how patients felt. It included 61 people with severe ankle arthritis from wear-and-tear, injury, or conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers…

This study tested whether adding a new drug called VIB4920 to standard arthritis medication (TNF inhibitors) could better control rheumatoid arthritis in adults whose current treatment wasn't working well enough. It was a Phase 2 trial that planned to enroll 104 participants but …

This study looked at whether a smart auto-injector device helps people with rheumatoid arthritis stick to their medication schedule. Researchers reviewed the medical records of 60 patients in Colombia who used the device to give themselves a drug called etanercept. The goal was t…

This study tested whether a smartphone app could help manage rheumatoid arthritis with fewer in-person doctor visits. Researchers compared 94 patients using the app with a hand strength device against those receiving standard care. The goal was to see if remote monitoring could m…

This study tested an experimental drug called peresolimab in adults with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis whose current treatments weren't working well enough. About 491 participants received either the drug or a placebo to see if it safely reduced arthritis symptoms and i…

This study tested if connecting people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as buddies for social support could help them manage their condition better. It paired 65 adult RA patients to share experiences and offer mutual understanding. The goal was to see if this connection improved d…

This study aimed to understand how a class of existing rheumatoid arthritis drugs, called JAK-STAT inhibitors, might increase helpful, anti-inflammatory immune cells (B cells). Researchers planned lab experiments using cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthri…

This study aimed to better understand rheumatoid arthritis by examining a specific type of immune cell found in the fluid of swollen joints. Researchers compared these cells from the joint fluid to those in the blood of 19 participants experiencing a flare-up. The goal was to lea…

This study aimed to understand if a specific foot condition called intermetatarsal bursitis causes pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers used MRI and ultrasound scans to look for this condition in a small group of participants with foot pain. The study was termina…
