1,598 RA patients enrolled in quest to personalize treatment
NCT ID NCT01793103
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 1,598 adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over time to identify biological markers that can predict how well a patient will respond to a drug or whether they might have side effects. Researchers also aim to understand how the disease progresses and affects daily life and costs. No new treatment is being tested; instead, the goal is to gather information that could one day help tailor RA care to each individual.
