What this study is about
This trial is testing different ways to gradually reduce steroid medications (like prednisone) in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The goal is to understand why some people experience problems when the dose is lowered, while others don't. Researchers will look at various factors like inflammation levels and hormone balances to better understand these differences.
