Summary

This study tested whether adding leflunomide to standard methotrexate treatment helps children with severe, hard-to-treat arthritis. Fifty children were split into two groups: one received the drug combo, the other methotrexate alone. Researchers tracked disease activity and daily function over 24 weeks to see if the combination worked better.
