The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if the study drug, ACTH Gel helps decrease
the disease symptoms in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who are already taking
medications prescribed by their physician and are still experiencing disease symptoms.
ACTH gel has been a Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis
since 1952, and in 2010 the FDA retained RA as a disease approved for ACTH gel use. Despite
its FDA approval there is very limited data on its how well ACTH gel works in improving the
symptoms of people with RA.
