Background Due to its positive benefit-risk-ratio, methotrexate (MTX) is a first-line therapy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although MTX is very effective, the large interpatient variability in drug response is a major drawback in clinical practice. Erythrocyte methotrexate polyglutamates (MTXPG1–7) — intracellular storage products of methotrexate — are supposed to correlate with clinical efficacy. In particular, long-chain polyglutamates (MTXPG4–5) are strongly retained in the cells and are therefore discussed to be potential markers for clinical response in rheumatoid arthritis. We hypothesized that concentrations of methotrexate polyglutamates could correlate with clinical response parameters in rheumatoid arthritis.
