Эти принципы в развернутой форме отражены в проекте Рекомендаций по лечению РА Ассоциации ревматологов России (АРР). 24 рекомендации АРР представляет собой подробное изложение современных методов терапии РА, основанное на принципах доказательной медицины. Особого внимания требуют некоторые практические вопросы ведения больных РА. Сопоставление ряда рандомизированных исследований и собственного опыта в исследовании РЕМАРКА позволяют заключить, что назначение подкожной формы метотрексата (МТ) в начальной дозе 10–15 мг/нед с быстрым ее повышением до 20–30 мг/нед является оптимальным методом первой линии терапии РА. Серьезным вопросом является выбор периода, в течение которого необходимо принимать решение о подключении генно-инженерных биологических препаратов (ГИБП) при недостаточном ответе на МТ. Опыт, полученный в ряде клинических исследований, особенно в исследованиях этанерцепта, показывает, что для большинства пациентов достаточно 12 нед наблюдения. В первую очередь это важно при раннем РА. После достижения стойкой ремиссии разумной тактикой будет аккуратное снижение дозы ГИБП, хотя в перспективе возможна и полная отмена терапии («treatment holiday»).</p><p> </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The current treatment strategy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is based on the principles of early aggressive therapy and tight control, which are summarized in «Treat-to-Target» recommendations. The draft RA treatment guidelines by the Association of Rheumatologists of Russia (ARR) reflect these principles in expanded form. Twenty-four ARR recommendations contain the detailed description of current treatments for RA, which relies on the principles of evidence-based medicine. Some practical issues for the management of patients with RA require special attention. The comparison of a number of randomized trials and the author’s experience in the REMARCA study may conclude that subcutaneous methotrexate (MTX) in an initial dose 10–15 mg/week with its fast increase up to 20Р30 mg/week is an optimal first-line therapy for RA. To choose the period within which a decision should be made on the incorporation of biologic agents (BA) in patients with an inadequate response to MTX is a serious matter. The experience gained in a number of clinical trials, particularly in those of etanercept, shows that a 12-week follow-up is sufficient in most patients. First of all, it is important for early RA. After achieving sustained remission, the reasonable tactics is to accurately reduce the dose of a BA although there may also be complete therapy discontinuation («treatment holiday») in the future.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ревматоидный артрит</kwd><kwd>стратегия лечения</kwd><kwd>клинические рекомендации</kwd><kwd>генно-инженерные биологические препараты</kwd><kwd>метотрексат</kwd><kwd>этанерцепт</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>rheumatoid arthritis</kwd><kwd>treatment strategy</kwd><kwd>clinical guidelines</kwd><kwd>biologic agents</kwd><kwd>methotrexate</kwd><kwd>etanercept</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">van Nies JA, Krabben A, Schoones JW, et al.
