Clinical Trial Summary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by swelling, pain, and synovial damage. Effective methods lack in the treatment of RA. A traditional prescription in use for thousands of years in China, Huang Qi Gui Zhi Wu Wu Tang(HQGZWWT)granule is still chosen to relive pain and prevent joint malformation in RA patients. However, no evidence-based medical research has been organized to assess the effectiveness and safety of HQGZWWT granules for RA.


Clinical Trial Description

Investigators will conduct a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to determine whether HQGZWWT granules can relieve pain and protect joints. Investigators will randomly divide 120 patients with active arthritis for 3 months. Main measurements include ratio of 50 of ACR (American College of Rheumatology), change of DAS (28) from baseline to 3 months, and SHARP scores of van der Heijde from baseline to 12 months. SecondarymeasurementsincludeACR20, ACR70, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), arthritis pain score, and Patient Global Assessment of Arthritis. The time points are set as baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. In addition, the rate of change (score) in the ACR50 and DAS28 from the baseline to 2-week, 1-month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up are also the secondary outcome measures. ;
