Glucocorticoids are effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, but long-term use of glucocorticoids has many side effects. Tofacitinib is a new small-molecule drug targeting JAK, which has been found to act quickly. The aim of this clinical trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids in inducing remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with moderate to high disease activity.
