Moderately to Severely Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Overview

Moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune inflammatory disorder characterised by persistent synovial inflammation, progressive joint destruction, and significant extra-articular manifestations — driven by dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses, with activated T-cells, B-cells, and macrophages orchestrating synovial hyperplasia, pannus formation, and cytokine-mediated cartilage and bone erosion. Genetic susceptibility — particularly HLA-DRB1 shared epitope alleles — alongside smoking, microbiome dysbiosis, and hormonal factors contribute to disease initiation. Patients present with symmetric polyarthritis, morning stiffness exceeding one hour, fatigue, and systemic features; anti-CCP antibodies and rheumatoid factor, alongside elevated CRP and ESR, support diagnosis established by 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria. Treat-to-target strategies pursuing clinical remission or low disease activity — assessed by DAS28, CDAI, or SDAI — guide therapeutic escalation. Methotrexate remains the anchor conventional synthetic DMARD, with leflunomide and sulfasalazine as alternatives. Inadequate responders escalate to biological DMARDs — TNF inhibitors, abatacept, rituximab, tocilizumab, or sarilumab — or targeted synthetic DMARDs including JAK inhibitors baricitinib, upadacitinib, and tofacitinib, with cardiovascular and thromboembolic risk considerations informing JAK inhibitor selection. Regular disease activity monitoring, joint imaging, cardiovascular risk optimisation, and vaccination are essential; multidisciplinary care, patient education, and shared decision-making are integral to preserving function and quality of life.
