Background and study aims
Rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by joint inflammation and destruction and leads to functional limitations, working disability, and a poor quality of life. It has an estimated adult prevalence of 0.8% worldwide and is more common in females. Synovial inflammation can cause erosive changes that are generally irreversible and often occur early in the disease process. Eryxin is a new drug with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. The main goal of the study is to determine the safety of Eryxin and its efficacy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Who can participate?
Adults age 18 years old and over with rheumatoid arthritis

What does the study involve?
Participants will be asked to join this study while they are at a Clinic of Tashkent Medical Academy. The study will include the following periods:
