MDR-RA Project
@mdr-ra-project.bsky.social
A Horizon Europe Consortium redefining care for difficult to treat rheumatoid arthritis by decoding the molecular and clinical pathways driving multi-drug resistance.
MDR-RA was represented at the EULAR PARE Conference by Katy Antonopoulou, Mariana Carvalho, and Souzi Makri. Mariana presented our project at the Best Practice Fair, highlighting MDR-RA’s mission to better understand multi-drug-resistant RA and strengthen patient involvement across Europe.

Listening to the Community

MDR-RA is gathering insights from patients, clinicians, policymakers, and advocacy groups across Europe on multi-drug resistance in RA. Their voices highlight treatment fatigue, the need for better tools, and equitable access.
Follow us as we deepen this dialogue.

In MDR-RA, patients aren’t just participants — they’re partners shaping research, communication, and care. Through our Patient Engagement Plan, people living with RA co-create studies and materials that reflect real needs. Science works best when it listens. 💙

Introducing iCare-RA — a smarter, more personal way to treat rheumatoid arthritis 🌿

By combining clinical data, molecular insights & patient-reported outcomes with AI, MDR-RA aims to guide truly personalised care.

Because every person with RA deserves tailored treatment.

Measuring Impact:
Beyond clinical value, MDR-RA is testing if the iCare-RA Tool is cost-effective & feasible in real healthcare.

From cost-effectiveness & micro-costing to stakeholder input, we’re building the case for smarter RA care.

🔬 MDR-RA is preparing the groundwork for a future cluster trial of the AI-powered iCare-RA Tool.
Over 100 patients across Europe will eventually be enrolled to compare standard care vs. AI-supported decisions. A key step toward precision care in difficult-to-treat RA. #MDRRA #AI

💥 Why do some RA patients stop responding to treatment?

Researchers across Europe are uncovering the molecular clues - from joint tissue to blood biomarkers - to crack drug resistance & enable precision care.

What if science didn’t just speak about patients—but spoke with them, and through them?

With the #MDRRA project, that vision is becoming reality.
We’re honoured to collaborate with 14 patient organisations from 12 European countries.
