Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common autoimmune rheumatic diseases, affecting one in 100 individuals worldwide. It is considered a complex systemic multifactorial inflammatory process in which the immune system targets synovial joints and causes mild to severe joint destruction with extra-articular manifestations.

If left untreated, RA leads to deformity, considerable disability, and major comorbid conditions, including cardiovascular disease and increased mortality.

Early treatment with targeted therapies can alter long-term outcomes by minimizing disease activity, preventing joint damage and disability, and improving patients' quality of life.
