Abstract

The authors analyze a study which showed that it is possible to stop a risky and expensive treatment for patients with rheumatoid arthritis once an initial response has been obtained. They think that the study raises three questions, including the need for patients to take biological therapy, another treatment effect hidden within the trial results and the cost effectiveness of biological therapy. They also mention other treatments used in the study, such as glucocorticoids and methotrexate.
