Popis: Background Targeting MRI remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in clinical remission may improve clinical outcome and halt joint damage progression. Objectives To determine whether a treat-to-target (T2T) strategy based on structured MRI assessments targeting absence of osteitis/bone marrow oedema (BME) would lead to improved clinical and radiographic outcomes, compared with a conventional T2T strategy in RA patients in clinical remission. Methods The IMAGINE-RA study was a 2 year investigator-initiated, randomised, open-label multicentre study. Two hundred RA patients in clinical remission (defined as: DAS28-CRP Results Primary and secondary clinical and radiographic outcomes at 24 months are presented in the table 1. 76 patients in the MRI T2T arm and 95 patients in conventional T2T arm completed the study. Of them 64 patients (85%) in the MRI T2T arm and 83 patients (88%) in the conventional T2T arm reached the primary clinical endpoint (chi-square=0.324, p=0.569) and 49 patients (66%) in the MRI T2T arm and 58 (62%) in the conventional T2T arm reached the primary radiographic endpoint (chi-square=0.265, p=0.606). ACR/EULAR remission rates, swollen joint count, patient VAS global and HAQ favoured the MRI T2T arm (p Conclusions Targeting absence of MRI BME in addition to a conventional T2T strategy in RA patients in clinical remission had no effect on the probability of achieving DAS28-CRP remission or halt radiographic progression. However, more patients achieved ACR/EULAR remission and improvements in physical function when MRI was used for treatment guidance.
