Detaljert beskrivelse
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic synovial inflammation, progressive joint destruction, and impaired quality of life. Despite the availability of conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), a subset of patients continues to have persistent disease activity and inflammatory burden.
Phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors and antihistamines have demonstrated potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects that may be beneficial in rheumatoid arthritis. Roflumilast, a selective phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, while desloratadine has been shown to exhibit additional anti-inflammatory properties beyond its antihistaminic effect.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of roflumilast or desloratadine as add-on therapy to standard DMARD treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible participants will be randomized into three parallel groups to receive either roflumilast, desloratadine, or placebo for a duration of three months.
Clinical assessments will include evaluation of disease activity scores, inflammatory biomarkers, and patient-reported outcomes. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the study period. The findings of this study may provide evidence for novel adjunctive therapeutic strategies in the management of rheumatoid arthritis.

Tiltaksbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Disease Activity Score (DAS28)
Tidsramme: Baseline to 12 weeks
|
Disease activity will be assessed using the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28), which is a composite index ranging from 0 to approximately 9.4.
Higher DAS28 scores indicate greater disease activity.
The primary outcome is the change in DAS28 score from baseline to 12 weeks.
