Treatment Strategy for Patients With RA-ILD

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab and rituximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). A total of 204 eligible participants will be enrolled from 20 centers across China and randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three treatment arms: (1) tocilizumab in combination with conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (cDMARDs); (2) rituximab in combination with cDMARDs; or (3) methotrexate added to the participant's pre-existing background immunosuppressive regimen. Each treatment arm will include 68 participants. Participants will be assessed at baseline and at Weeks 4, 12, 24, and 52 following treatment initiation. Efficacy and safety data will be collected throughout the study to evaluate treatment response and tolerability. Safety assessments will include the incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), treatment discontinuations due to AEs or SAEs, and other clinically relevant safety outcomes.
