Summary
This study will follow 200 adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that does not respond well to standard treatments, known as refractory RA. The goal is to learn more about why some people have hard-to-treat RA and find clues to better personalize their care. Participants will be observed over time, but no new treatment is being tested.
