Even with great progress in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), significant unmet needs persist. There is no cure, treatments are often inconvenient and expensive, and safety is still a concern. Fortrea understands the challenges faced in RA clinical development and we have the insight and experience to help achieve success.

Understanding rheumatoid arthritis industry demands.

  • A “treat to target” approach leads to more aggressive treatments
  • Steady market growth, due in part to aging population
