Abstract
Background/Purpose:
Development of the clinical phase of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is preceded by an autoimmune phase, characterized by the presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), that gradually translates into clinical disease. Individuals with ACPA, but no clinical arthritis, that show signs of subclinical joint inflammation in the imaging are at particularly high risk to develop RA within a short time. We have previously shown that a 6-months treatment with abatacept not only inhibits the onset of RA but also reduces MRI signs of inflammation in such ACPA-positive high-risk individuals. However, it is currently unknown whether such time-limited intervention leads to sustained suppression of inflammation in the joints.
