Testing WangBi granules for rheumatoid arthritis along with standard care
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies whether WangBi granules help control rheumatoid arthritis symptoms when used by people already taking stable methotrexate and tofacitinib. It’s mainly for people with mild-to-moderate disease activity and specific diagnostic features.

This trial tests whether transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor to patients with rheumatoid arthritis that hasn't improved on standard medications can reduce joint pain and swelling. The goal is to see if rebalancing the gut microbiome (the community of bacteria in your intestines) helps control inflammation.
This trial tests a Chinese herbal formula (Bushen Quhan Zhiwang decoction) to help people with rheumatoid arthritis who also have a pattern of 'kidney deficiency and excessive cold' achieve deeper remission. It may be an option if your disease is mild to moderate and you are on a stable single medication.
This trial tests a new treatment called SWK002 for people with rheumatoid arthritis that hasn't improved after trying multiple medications. It aims to see if SWK002 can help when other treatments have failed.
This trial tests a new medication (BMS-986454) for people with rheumatoid arthritis who haven't responded well enough to methotrexate. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how it works in the body.
This trial tests an experimental drug for people with rheumatoid arthritis who have not had success with other treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help reduce joint pain and swelling.
This trial tests different targeted treatments for people with rheumatoid arthritis who have tried one or two biologic or targeted synthetic drugs but still have symptoms. You need to be taking a stable dose of methotrexate.
