Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trial
— TryCortOfficial title:
Phase II/III Study of Oral Prednisolone Test in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease often leading to progressive joint
destruction. To prevent disability caused by inflamed joints early diagnosis is important.
Early diagnosis might be a challenge because the diagnosis is mostly based on clinical signs
like swelling of small joints. In clinical practice a therapy with prednisolone is started
although the patients do not have an exact diagnosis. In this cases the prednisolone might
serve as a diagnostic test for an inflammatory process.
The objective of this study is to investigate the diagnostic value of oral prednisolone test
for rheumatoid arthritis.
