AN INITIAL REPORT ON A DOUBLE-BLIND TRIAL COMPARING SMALL AND LARGE DOSES OF GOLD IN THE TREATMENT OF RHEUMATOID DISEASE*

JEAN M. M. McKENZIE

Department of Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, Peterborough District Hospital Thorpe Road, Peterborough PE3 6DA

A double-blind clinical trial on 60 patients with rheumatoid disease comparing 10 mg sodium aurothiomalate weekly to 50 mg weekly is continuing.

An initial report on thirty of these patients, who had completed a year of treatment, shows no statistically significant difference in the response between the two groups.

No conclusions can be drawn about toxic reactions in this number of patients having received treatment for only one year.

* Paper read at a combined meeting of the Heberden Society, the British Association for Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, the Royal Society of Medicine Section of Rheumatology and Rehabilitation and the Irish Society for Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, Dublin, October 15, 1976.
