New study tests pharmacist coaching to boost RA drug adherence

NCT ID NCT05413759

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether extra support from a pharmacist—starting in the hospital and continuing after discharge—can help people with rheumatoid arthritis take their disease-modifying medications more consistently. Two hundred participants will either receive this pharmaceutical care or usual follow-up. The main goal is to see if the intervention improves medication adherence after 12 months.

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could help more rheumatoid arthritis patients take their medications as prescribed, potentially improving disease control and quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage study focused on adherence, not a new treatment. The intervention may not significantly change behavior or health outcomes.
