Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of auranofin, gold sodium thiomalate, and placebo in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. A controlled clinical trial

TL;DR: Results confirm that both parenteral and oral gold may be effective for the treatment of RA, that GST tends to show greater efficacy than auranofin, and that auran ofin has fewer significant adverse effects than GST, however, long-term benefits, tolerability, and safety cannot be inferred.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of correlation between blood gold concentrations and clinical response in patients with definite or classic rheumatoid arthritis receiving auranofin or gold sodium thiomalate.

TL;DR: Whole blood gold concentrations did not correlate with clinical outcome, as assessed by changes in joint tenderness, joint swelling, or Westergren erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and did not correlation with toxic reactions necessitating withdrawal from the study.
Journal ArticleDOI

One-year experience in patients treated with auranofin following completion of a parallel, controlled trial comparing auranofin, gold sodium thiomalate, and placebo

TL;DR: Results of this open-label study suggest that AUR has a long-term use profile similar to that of other slow-acting antirheumatic drugs and appears to be capable of sustaining an initial response to gold sodium thiomalate.
