aPatients on TOFA-IR and TOFA were administered the drug for 3.4 months

bIn this study, 94% of patients continued concomitant treatment with some csDMARD

cPatients divided into two groups: a discontinuation group (D group; n = 23) and a continuation group (C group; n = 28)

dIn this study, 79 (51.3%) b/tsDMARDs naïve and 75 (48.7%) b/tsDMARDs-IR patients were enrolled

eIn this study, patients were treated with 4 mg BARI/day after TOFA was discontinued

fIn this study, 90 of 100 RA patients were evaluated; 49 received BARI

gAll patients had failed at least one anti-TNF

hIn this study, 4 patients received both treatments (BARI + TOFA)
