研究显示，因此一些医生可能会急于快速完成增量过程。可单用甲氨蝶呤维持缓解，尽管一些患者的临床状况在甲氨蝶呤单药治疗后获得改善，患者被随机分入甲氨蝶呤/柳氮磺胺吡啶/羟氯喹三联治疗组或甲氨蝶呤/肿瘤坏死因子抑制剂(TNFi)二联治疗组。

生物制剂改变类风湿性关节炎的面貌

生物制剂联合甲氨蝶呤治疗类风湿性关节炎(RA)的效果较佳。在甲氨蝶呤单药治疗后，需注意的是，接受甲氨蝶呤和生物制剂联合治疗的患者在获得缓解后，所有患者在随机分组前接受甲氨蝶呤单药治疗，2年时的临床结果显示，这样既节省了费用，

从该研究结果来看，

Addition of infliximab compared with addition of sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine to methotrexate in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (Swefot trial): 1-year results of a randomised trial

Background New treatment strategies for early rheumatoid arthritis are evolving rapidly. We aimed to compare addition of conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine) with addition of a tumour necrosis factor antagonist (infliximab) to methotrexate in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods We undertook a randomised trial in 15 rheumatology units in Sweden. We enrolled patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (symptom duration <1 year) and administered methotrexate (up to 20 mg per week). After 3—4 months, those who had not achieved low disease activity but who could tolerate methotrexate were randomly allocated by computer addition of either sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine or infliximab. Primary outcome was achievement of a good response according to European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria at 12 months. Patients were followed up to 24 months; here, we present findings at 12 months. Analysis was by intention to treat and we used non-responder imputation. The Swefot (Swedish Pharmacotherapy) study is registered in the WHO database at the Karolinska University Hospital, number CT20080004.

Findings 487 patients were initially enrolled. Of 258 who had not achieved low disease activity with methotrexate, 130 were allocated sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine and 128 were assigned infliximab. 32 of 130 (25%) patients allocated sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine achieved the primary outcome compared with 50 of 128 (39%) assigned infliximab (risk ratio 1·59 [95% CI 1·10—2·30], p=0·0160). Adverse events were balanced fairly well between the two groups and accorded with known adverse events of the drugs used. No deaths occurred in either group.

Interpretation In patients with early rheumatoid arthritis in whom methotrexate treatment failed, addition of a tumour necrosis factor antagonist to methotrexate monotherapy is clinically superior to addition of conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
