Wiser about RUBRIC registry

RUBRIC stands for "Rational Use of Biologics in rare Refractory Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) Consortium". It is an online registry that has been developed to evaluate the effectivity of modern types of medication, called biologicals. Frequently, these types of are being prescribed based on research investigating small cohorts due to the rarity of the disease for which they are described. With the RUBRIC registry we try to improve our knowledge about these types of medication.

What kind of research is this?

The RUBRIC (acronym for "Rational Use of Biologics in rare Refractory Immune mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) Consortium") registry collects information on the safety and effectivity of the treatment with rare modern types of medication of various complicated and rare immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, like sarcoidosis in the Netherlands. An example of a type of medication that is being investigated in this registry is Infliximab. Because of the rarity of the diseases these types of medication treat, it is often difficult to research these agents adequately. Therefore, it is of uttermost importance to monitor the effectivity and safety of these treatments.
