Withdrawn study sought to boost RA remission with education and team care
NCT ID NCT02720874
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study was designed to test whether a combination of an educational booklet, team-based care from a rheumatologist, physical therapist, and psychologist, plus nurse-led phone calls and home symptom tracking, could help more Hispanic adults with rheumatoid arthritis achieve remission. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data were collected.

- behavioral intervention (educational booklet, multidisciplinary care, nurse calls)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve remission rates in underserved populations with rheumatoid arthritis.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The intervention is complex and may not be feasible in other settings.
