First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a very low dose (4 mg) of the steroid prednisolone to standard rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment can improve symptoms in newly diagnosed patients. About 112 adults with active RA will receive either prednisolone or a placebo for 5 weeks, then slowly stop. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better disease control with fewer side effects.
