You mentioned "potential serious side effects from methotrexate". Methotrexate has up till recently been used almost exclusively by the oncology community, where it has been used in varying diseases for the last 35 years. Extensive information is available about pharmacokinetics, and long term side effects, and frankly, except in industrial strength doses as for those used in osteosarcoma, methotrexate when given judiciously DOES NOT cause long term, or even serious short term side effects. It's one of the least toxic drugs in the oncologist's armenmentarium. Methotrexate, has also been used for a few years in the treatment of severe RA, so it is reasonable to try new RA drugs both alone, in comparison with the state of the art therapy...e.g. methotrexate, or in combination. Not sure what the FDA would prefer.
