PURPOSE: Investigating the efficacy and safety of rupatadine (RUP) versus montelukast (MON) as adjuvant therapy for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
METHODS: From December 2018 to December 2019, 75 patients with active RA were enrolled in this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. The patients were randomized into three groups (n = 25 in each group); methotrexate (MTX) group which received MTX 15-25 mg/week plus placebo tablet once daily; MTX/RUP group which received MTX plus RUP 10 mg once daily; and MTX/MON group which received MTX plus MON 10 mg once daily. The treatment duration was 3 months. At baseline and 3 months after treatment, blood samples were collected for the biochemical analysis of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukins 8 and 17 (IL-8, IL-17), E-selectin, and clusterin (CLU) levels. Clinical and functional assessments using Disease Activity Score-CRP (DAS28-CRP) and Multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire (MDHAQ) were performed.
RESULTS: Both RUP and MON produced clinical and functional improvements which were translated by significant improvements in DAS28-CRP score and MDHAQ. Rupatadine significantly reduced all measured parameters (P < 0.05) except for IL-17 and CLU. Montelukast significantly decreased all measured variables (P < 0.05) except for E-selectin. Interleukin-8 was positively correlated with IL-17 and CLU, while hs-CRP was positively correlated with E-selectin and body mass index (BMI). Both drugs were well tolerated; somnolence was the common side effect for RUP. No neuropsychiatric events were reported with MON.
CONCLUSION: Rupatadine or montelukast may serve as a potential adjuvant therapy for patients with rheumatoid arthritis secondary to the preliminary evidence of efficacy and safety. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03770923, December 10, 2018.
