Since the 1990s, patients with rheumatoid arthritis have been treated with at least one DMARD. Methotrexate, which is usually the first-line treatment, elicits good or even excellent clinical results in 20–30% of patients—but in most patients it does not. Thus, an important question is what to do after methotrexate failure.
自 20 世纪 90 年代以来,类风湿关节炎患者至少接受过一种 DMARD 治疗。甲氨蝶呤通常是一线治疗药物,在 20%至 30%的患者中疗效良好甚至极佳,但在大多数患者中并非如此。因此,一个重要的问题是在甲氨蝶呤治疗失败后该怎么办。
