Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) reports prospective analysis data of the Early AMPLE head-to-head trial evaluating the molecular and cellular mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis treatments and interference with disease progression, will be presented as a late-breaking oral presentation at the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR 2019).

BMS quoted Vivian P.
