Moderate to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Overview

Moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder driven by adaptive immunity and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1) causing synovial pannus formation and joint destruction. Diagnosis relies on anti-CCP, rheumatoid factor, and inflammatory markers under ACR/EULAR criteria, with ultrasound or MRI increasingly identifying subclinical synovitis. A treat-to-target strategy guides escalation from foundational methotrexate, optimized with folate supplementation. Inadequate responders transition to biological DMARDs (TNF inhibitors, IL-6 blockers, abatacept, rituximab) or targeted synthetic JAK inhibitors. In 2026, safety mandates restrict JAK inhibitors to patients failing biologics or lacking risk factors for cardiovascular events, thromboembolism, malignancy, and serious infections. Early aggressive therapy combined with physical therapy, smoking cessation, and cardiovascular risk optimization is vital to prevent erosive damage.
