Abstract

Triple combination therapy with hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, and methotrexate (MTX) has been shown in double-blind, placebo-controlled studies to be significantly superior to MTX alone (Paulus 50% responses of 77% versus 33%). In long-term follow-up studies, this therapy has now been shown to be well-tolerated with continued efficacy in the majority of patients.
