Piribo, (www. piribo. com) the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has now added a new report entitled “Improved Diagnostic and Prognostic Tools for Rheumatoid Arthritis - Unmet Needs in a Changing Market”.

According to recent clinical studies, the key to achieving optimal outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is to diagnose and treat it as early as possible. The need to develop more-sensitive and more-specific markers for early-stage disease is urgent.

While developments in disease-modifying drugs and biologic agents have revolutionized the treatment of RA, enabling physicians to slow disease progression and prevent some joint destruction, diagnostics has lagged behind. Therefore, the challenge in this area of medicine lies almost exclusively in the diagnosis of early-stage RA, which can be accomplished only with novel serological tests, imaging techniques, or RA biomarkers. This report profiles the efforts under way by a variety of companies in this area of great unmet need.

“Improved Diagnostic and Prognostic Tools for Rheumatoid Arthritis - Unmet Needs in a Changing Market” is priced at £1055 and is available in PDF format from Piribo.
