Can two common drugs tame rheumatoid arthritis?
NCT ID NCT07745426
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding either diosmin or rebamipide to standard rheumatoid arthritis treatment can better reduce disease activity and improve physical function. About 66 adults with active rheumatoid arthritis will be split into three groups: one receiving standard care alone, and two receiving standard care plus one of the add-on drugs for three months. Researchers will measure changes in joint disease activity, disability, and blood markers of inflammation.

- Active substance
- diosmin and rebamipide as add-on therapies to conventional rheumatoid arthritis treatment
- What this could lead to
- If successful, adding diosmin or rebamipide to standard care could offer a new, affordable way to better control rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and improve daily function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The added drugs could cause side effects or fail to show meaningful benefit over standard therapy alone.
