A comparative study of auranofin, gold sodium thiomalate, and D-penicillamine in rheumatoid arthritis: a progress report. 1982

D Barraclough, and A Brook, and P Brooks, and K Boyden, and D Thomas, and K Tymms

We compared auranofin (AF) in a single blind multi-centre study with gold sodium thiomalate and D-penicillamine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Adult patients with disease duration 6-60 months without previous treatment with gold salts with persistent active disease, were included. Thirty-nine patients, 13 in each treatment group, have so far been entered. Cumulative toxicity data and some results of efficacy assessments in those completing 9 months of treatment are presented. AF is very well tolerated, judgment concerning efficacy must await the end of the trial.

D006052 Gold Sodium Thiomalate A variable mixture of the mono- and disodium salts of gold thiomalic acid used mainly for its anti-inflammatory action in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It is most effective in active progressive rheumatoid arthritis and of little or no value in the presence of extensive deformities or in the treatment of other forms of arthritis.

D001172 Arthritis, Rheumatoid A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated. Rheumatoid Arthritis
