A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study conducts a randomized controlled trial to re-evaluate the effectiveness of WangBi granules in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have low disease activity after standard treatments with methotrexate and tofacitinib citrate. The approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine to assess clinical remission rates. The goal is to provide evidence-based insights that could enhance treatment outcomes and improve the management of rheumatoid arthritis.
