Summary
This trial will compare the safety of baricitinib to TNF inhibitors with respect to VTEs in patients with RA.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with rheumatoid arthritis who are overweight or older, have had a poor response to previous treatments, and may have had a blood clot before. It's not for those with recent drug abuse, pregnancy, multiple blood clots, cancer, serious infections or illnesses, recent live vaccines, or participation in another trial within the last month.
What is being tested?
The study compares Baricitinib against TNF inhibitors regarding the risk of venous thromboembolic events (blood clots) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The goal is to determine which treatment has fewer complications related to blood clots.
What are the potential side effects?
Baricitinib and TNF inhibitors can cause side effects like increased risk of infection due to immune system suppression. There might also be risks specific to each medication such as allergic reactions or other adverse effects that will be monitored during the trial.
