9 мая 2014 г. обновлено: Molecular Research Center, Inc.
A 24-week, Phase 2, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of 2 Doses of MRC375 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis
This study will treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis with MRC375 (either 75 mg 3 times a day, 150 mg 3 times a day or placebo 3 times a day)in patients 18 years of age or older that can be currently on low doses of methotrexate or can stop treatment of current RA medications to enter the study.

- Treatment 1, Placebo: 2 tablets taken tid
- Treatment 2, MRC375: 1 tablet of 75 mg tetracycline HCL plus 1 matching placebo tablet taken tid. Total daily dose = 225 mg.
- Treatment 3, MRC375: 2 tablets of 75 mg tetracycline HCL taken tid. Total daily dose = 450 mg.
