Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common inflammatory arthritis and has benefited from significant advances in its management in the past years. However, specific challenges persist, including the management of difficult-to-treat rheumatoid (D2TRA), which is defined by the failure of at least two biological or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs with a different mechanism of action. D2TRA reported prevalence is from 5 to 20 %. EULAR (European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology) proposed a step-by-step approach for managing D2TRA, starting with confirmation of diagnosis, assessment of inflammatory activity, immunosuppressive treatment choice and non-pharmacological treatment.
