Summary

This trial tests a drug combo for easing RA pain and disability. Patients are randomly assigned placebo/drug, doctor/patient unaware.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis who've been on a stable Methotrexate (MTX) dose for at least 12 weeks and are willing to continue it. They should have had the condition for over 3 months, experience significant joint swelling and pain, and can't have had bad reactions to similar treatments before.
What is being tested?
The study tests Natrunix combined with MTX against a placebo (a treatment with no active drug), both alongside MTX therapy. It's a Phase II trial where participants don't know if they're getting Natrunix or the placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Natrunix aren't listed here, common ones in arthritis medications include stomach issues, liver problems, infections due to lowered immunity, allergic reactions, and injection site discomfort.
