First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looked at whether methotrexate can help people with joint pain and stiffness caused by cancer treatments that target the immune system. The goal was to reduce the need for steroids like prednisone, which can have side effects. The study included adults whose joint pain did not improve with another drug called hydroxychloroquine. Unfortunately, the study was stopped early, so results are limited.
