An oral Syk kinase inhibitor in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: A three‐month randomized, placebo‐controlled, phase II study in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis that did not respond to biologic agents

Abstract

Our findings indicate that there were no differences in the primary end point between the R788 and placebo groups. Differences were observed between the R788 and placebo groups in secondary end points, particularly in those patients who entered the study with an elevated CRP level.
