The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of combination of Methotrexate and Statins with Methotrexate alone in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is hypothesized that adding statins to methotrexate for treatment of rheumatic arthritis will significantly suppress the disease activity as compared to methotrexate alone.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Efficacy of drugs defined by improvement in Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) | In Rheumatoid arthritis, DAS28 values range from 2.0 to 10.0 while higher values mean a higher disease activity. A DAS 28 below the value of 2.6 is interpreted as Remission/improvement | 6 months | |
Secondary | Adverse Drug Reaction | Adverse event reported against any of the intervention under study | 6 months |
