Rituximab for rheumatoid arthritis refractory to anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy : Results of a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III trial evaluating primary efficacy and safety at twenty-four weeks
Stanley Cohen,Paul Emery,Maria Greenwald,Maxime Dougados,Richard Furie,Mark C. Genovese,Edward C. Keystone,J.E. Loveless,Gerd-Rüdiger Burmester,M. Cravets,E. W. Hessey,T. Shaw,Mark C. Totoritis +12 more
TL;DR: At 24 weeks, a single course of rituximab with concomitant MTX therapy provided significant and clinically meaningful improvements in disease activity in patients with active, longstanding RA who had an inadequate response to 1 or more anti-TNF therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of recommendations for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with synthetic and biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and glucocorticoids (GCs) that also account for strategic algorithms and deal with economic aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for musculoskeletal ultrasound in rheumatology
Marina Backhaus,Gerd-Rüdiger Burmester,Gerber T,Walter Grassi,K P Machold,Wijnand A. A. Swen,Richard J. Wakefield,B Manger +7 more
TL;DR: US is most commonly used in the assessment of soft tissue disease or detection of fluid collection and can also be used to visualise other structures, such as cartilage and bone surfaces, and its ability to be repeated as often as necessary makes it particularly useful for the monitoring of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arthritis of the finger joints: a comprehensive approach comparing conventional radiography, scintigraphy, ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
Marina Backhaus,Thomas Kamradt,D. Sandrock,D. Loreck,J. Fritz,Karl-Jürgen Wolf,H. Raber,Bernd Hamm,Gerd-Rüdiger Burmester,M. Bollow +9 more
TL;DR: MRI and ultrasound are valuable diagnostic methods in patients with arthritis who have normal findings on radiologic evaluation and found ultrasound to be even more sensitive than MRI in the detection of synovitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anakinra, a recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (r-metHuIL-1ra), in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A large, international, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial.
Roy M. Fleischmann,Joy Schechtman,Ralph Bennett,Malcolm L. Handel,Gerd-Rüdiger Burmester,John Tesser,Dennis Modafferi,Jennifer J. Poulakos,Gordon Sun +8 more
TL;DR: Results from this large, placebo-controlled safety study demonstrate that anakinra is safe and well tolerated in a diverse population of patients with RA, including those with comorbid conditions and those using multiple combinations of concomitant therapies.
