Summary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic auto-inflammatory disorder which imposes a remarkable burden of morbidity and mortality on global health. The complex interaction between genetics, environment, and immunological response contribute to RA pathogenesis. Current treatment comprises conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) followed by biological DMARDs, if necessary, to achieve low disease activity or remission. Therapeutics used in RA had limitations in tolerability, access, and response duration and magnitude. Consequently, implementation of safe adjunctive treatment for RA is urgently needed to boost the therapeutic response.
