Rheumatoid arthritis associated ILD

Studies & trials

  • TRAIL-1
    A phase II randomised double blind placebo controlled trial to study the efficacy of pirfenidone versus placebo for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis associated ILD. This study is not reported.

Rheumatoid arthritis

is a systemic autoimmune disease, that whilst predominantly causes chronic pain and joint synovitis, is also associated with significant extra-articular manifestations in a large proportion of patients. Among the various pulmonary manifestations, ILD  is the commonest and most important, contributing significantly to increased morbidity and mortality.
