NCT ID NCT07534332
First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether disulfiram, a drug already approved for alcohol use disorder, can safely reduce joint inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis who are also overweight or obese. Twenty adults with active arthritis despite standard treatment will receive either disulfiram or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the drug can calm inflammation by blocking a specific immune pathway, potentially offering a new way to manage the disease.
