description The international recommendations «Treat to target» (T2T) underline the greatest importance of treatment strategy for the success of treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Evaluation of the efficiency of this approach obviously requires special strategic studies with an adaptive design, which substantially differ from classical randomized clinical trials and are much closer to clinical practice. To date, there are only single publications on the practical application of the T2T recommendations, there is a problem in the choice of effectiveness criteria and there are a number of other important problems associated with the introduction of these recommendations. The Russian study REMARCA is to answer these questions. Its design focuses on the practical adaptation of the T2T strategy to treat patients with earlyand extended-stage active RA who have poor prognostic factors, by using subcutaneous methotrexate and genetically engineered biological agents (GEBA). Preliminary analysis shows that therapy according to the REMARCA protocol is successful in the majority of patients. The high rate of low RA activity and remission has been achieved during subcutaneous methotrexate monotherapy. The patients who need GEBA to be incorporated may be initially more resistant to therapy. The patients with early RA have better chances of successful T2T therapy than those with extended-stage RA.
