Key clinical point: Treat-to-target strategy (T2T) was associated with higher probability of achieving the treatment target in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who could not reach treatment target within 6 months.

Major finding: RA patients following T2T had a 2.8 times higher likelihood for remission/low disease activity at 12 months than those not following the T2T strategy (P = .005).

Study details: Data from ATTRA registry were assessed. Seventy-five patients with RA following T2T were matched with 75 patients who continued initial treatment despite not reaching the treatment target within 6 months.

Disclosures: The work was supported by the project (Ministry of Health, Czech Republic) for conceptual development of research organization (Institute of

Rheumatology). The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
