NCT ID NCT05428488

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests a new treatment plan for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who still have active disease despite standard medications. The plan starts with a fast-acting drug (TNF inhibitor) for 12 weeks, then switches to a longer-acting drug (abatacept) to try to achieve remission. The trial will compare this two-step approach to using only TNF inhibitors. About 220 adults with RA who are ACPA-positive and on methotrexate or leflunomide will take part.
