Summary
Studies on tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonist (anti-TNF) therapy in rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) patients have found that erosive damage may "heal" in some RA patients treated with
anti-TNF. Repeated examinations of adalimumab (Humira) treated RA patients, using computed
tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography (US) and radiography will
allow detailed assessment of the extent of bone repair/healing during adalimumab (Humira)
therapy.
