- W52043265 abstract "The therapeutic efficacy and tolerability of the combination of cyclosporin A, methotrexate and fluocortolone was evaluated after 96 months of treatment in 140 patients with rheumatoid arthritis.The initial dose of CyA was 5 mg/kg per day and was subsequently modified on the basis of the individual clinical response. Fluocortolone was initially administered at a dose that was sufficient to control disease activity (80-130 mg/week) and then was gradually tapered down to a maintenance dose of 15-20 mg/week. MTX was given intravenously at a dose of 15 mg once weekly for 4 consecutive weeks and then, after a 2-week interval, every 2 weeks or every month depending on the evolution of the disease.At the end of the study a statistically significant improvement was observed in both clinical (VAS, grip-strength, duration of morning stiffness, number of swollen joints, number of painful joints, Ritchie's index and Lee's functional index) and laboratory parameters: ESR (p = 0.000); alpha 2 globulins (p = 0.000); hemoglobin (p = 0.000); CRP (p < 0.001); and rheumatoid factor (p = 0.000). Radiological evaluation revealed little progression in anatomic lesions (Larsen score p = 0.699; number of erosions p = 0.344), thus suggesting that our protocol may be capable of showing down both bone resorption and cartilage loss. Renal toxicity, defined as an increase in plasma creatinine concentrations of more than 50% of the baseline value, was observed in 12 patients (8.5%), but the drug was discontinued in only one, who simultaneously presented high blood pressure.The positive results so far achieved in our study must be interpreted as being due to the combined action of the individual drugs, which made it possible for them to be used at relatively low dosages that minimised the onset of their side effects while maintaining the efficacy of their suppressive action." @default.
