Radiographic evaluation of erosion in rheumatoid arthritis: double blind study of auranofin vs placebo

J P Gofton et al. J Rheumatol. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

PA radiographs of hands and wrists from a randomized 6 month study of auranofin (AF) vs placebo followed by 6 months of open AF were scored for progression of erosive disease by 2 independent readers. The readers were blinded both to treatment and sequence (month 0 vs month 12) of the films. The results of our study demonstrate a reduction in the advancement of erosive disease during AF therapy compared to placebo.
