Comparative study of the inhibitory effect on bone erosion progression with Denosumab treatment and conventional treatment in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Phase 4

• Conditions: Rheumatoid arthritis

• Registration Number: JPRN-jRCTs071180018
• Lead Sponsor: Kawakami Atsushi

Brief Summary

The aim of this exploratory study was to compare the effects of denosumab in combination with csDMARDs and csDMARDs alone on ER inhibition by HRpQCT in patients receiving csDMARDs for the treatment of RA. The results of the study suggested that the additional administration of denosumab may be effective in inhibiting the progression of bone erosion and improving bone erosion. Adverse drug reactions of Denosumab treatment were observed in 26.1%, and hypocalcemia was the most common in 17.4%, it was feasible.
