Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research project was to focus on the effect of antibody Denosumab on RANKL, which is particularly deeply related to bone resorption, and to elucidate the bone metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and factors related to 1). The observation study of patients with Denosumab (TBCR-Bone), and 2). the specimen collection and analysis from RA surgical patients were encouraged. 1) About 76 registered RA patients were verified under real clinical practice up to 12 months, improved bone density, and suppression of bone metabolic markers were confirmed. The effects of disease activity were suggested. Ra-Bio, the steroid administration had no effect on Denosumab's effects. 2), bone cartilage collected during surgery from 25 patients, immunostaining and pathological evaluation of synovial membranes was performed.
