We assessed the drug retention rates of b/targeted synthetic DMARDs with different modes of action (tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis), immunoglobulins fused with cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen (CTLA-4-Ig), interleukin-6 receptor inhibitors (IL-6Ris), and JAKis) in patients with RA stratified by pre-treatment estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels. This evidence concerns the gene CTLA4 and rheumatoid arthritis.
