Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether two drugs—roflumilast and desloratadine—added to your current rheumatoid arthritis medications can reduce joint inflammation and pain. You'd take these as add-ons to your existing treatment to see if they help control your disease better.

This study tests whether desloratadine, an allergy medication, can help reduce rheumatoid arthritis symptoms when added to your current treatments. Researchers want to see if it reduces joint swelling and pain alongside your existing therapy.
This trial studies whether certain medicines can improve how active rheumatoid arthritis is. If you have rheumatoid arthritis and do not have significant liver or kidney problems, you may be able to join.
This study compares two combination treatments for rheumatoid arthritis in people whose current methotrexate or leflunomide isn’t working well enough. It aims to see whether adding a targeted therapy works better than the standard add-on of sulfasalazine plus hydroxychloroquine.
This trial studies an add-on treatment approach for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults whose symptoms did not improve with standard “first-line” medicines. It may help people who still have active RA after trying certain disease-modifying drugs.
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.
