This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Adalimumab with or without Methotrexate in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
N Engl J Med. 2008 Aug 21;359(8):810-20This was a three part study designed to assess the effectiveness of Adalimumab, a fully human monoclonal anti-TNF antibody, in the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The study consisted of an open-label lead-in phase (where patients were stratified according to methotrexate use), a double-blind withdrawal phase (following the 16 week lead-in phase, patients with an ACR Pedi 30 response were randomized within their strata to either receive adalimumab or placebo) and an open-label extension phase (treatment with adalimumab). The results demonstrated that treatment with adalimumab, either in combination with methotrexate or alone, is effective in treating patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.The positive effects of this treatment were not only seen at 48 weeks, but were sustained throughout the 2 years of treatment that continued during the open-label extension phase.
