研究概览

简要总结

The purpose of this study is to determine how well Rituximab works in early stages of disease and the effects it has on an inflamed joint and blood cells.

This will allow the investigators to get a better understanding of how this treatment affects the inflamed joints of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.
