Researchers in The Netherlands found data from a study period of 23 years that showed combination therapy with sulfasalazine and methotrexate was effective for disease control and fewer adverse events, when compared with monotherapy with sulfasalazine.
Researchers found that there was no difference in the incidence of malignancy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who switched from biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs or tofacitinib to tocilizumab compared with patients who used abatacept or a different tumor necrosis factor inhibitor, except in instances of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
