Summary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic progressive autoimmune disease with predominantly joint involvement. To compare the efficacy and difference between elamod and tofacitib in the treatment of rheumatoid factor-positive and negative rheumatoid arthritis in RA patients with poor outcome after csDMARDs dosing, in order to better inform the clinical management.
