Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 In your place, I'd go for it. All the evidence seems to suggest that early aggressive treatment gives you the best chance of avoiding permanent damage. n France [ ] TEAR trial I have just been diagnosed with RA. My doctor has asked me if I want to be a part of the " Treatment of Early Aggressive Rheumatoid Arthritis (TEAR) Trial " . The sponsor is University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Does anyone know about this trial? Is anyone taking part ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I am in the TEAR study at The Duke Clinic. It's kind of hard because you don't know what meds you are on, and not all of the med combos are super aggressive. Some people in the study never actually inject themselves with Enbrel ... just a placebo for two years!!! I have been in the study for six months. I trust and respect the Doctor who I see every six weeks who oversees the study at Duke. I feel the Doctors have a pretty tough job in this study because of all of the possible side effects that may occur with all of the different meds you may or may not be on. Fortuantely, I haven't really experienced many side effects. Thank goodness. You can drop out of the study at anytime if you feel the meds aren't working for you. Your doctors visits exrays etc are not all free. All of the meds are free. The " standard care " any RA patient would receive at Duke is billed to you or your insurance. All of the extras are paid for by the study grant money. It's a little confusing. When I check out after my appt, the receptionist/cashier person's head usually starts to spin, but a research assistant is usually there with me to sort things out. The research assistant makes all of my appts for me, and is very nice. With all of that said, I like being in the study, b/c hopefully this study will prove to the lovely insurance companies that biologics should be considered a part of standard care in aggressive RA patients from the get go no questions asked. Wouldn' that be nice? Cristen in NC Re: [ ] TEAR trial Here is some info on the trial. Research indicates that early treatment of RA has better outcome. Good luck with your decision.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Cristen, how are your RA symptoms? Can you judge by your symptoms whether you're getting the Enbrel or not? Yes, it would be nice to sway the lovely insurance companies to allow biologics early in the disease. While I was waiting a month (with no meds because I had to stop Arava) for my insurance company to approve me for Enbrel, it really burned me up that this decision was being made by a bunch of bureaucrats instead of my doctors.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Cristen, I'm surprised that everything isn't covered. Could it be because you have insurance? Maybe someone without any insurance wouldn't have to pay? I hope that is the case so more people would be able to participate. Clinical trials attract the uninsured since everything is usually covered. I can imagine the headaches of trying to sort out the billing! It would truly be wonderful if this trial enabled people to try biologicals sooner. Biologicals have changed many lives, enabling some to return to work. Hopefully in time the biologicals will drop in price making the insurance companies more willing to cover them. Good luck with your treatment. It's great to hear that you are improving. a On Tue, 8 Mar 2005 20:56:53 -0500, Cristen s <cdharriss@...> wrote: > I am in the TEAR study at The Duke Clinic.
