Detailed Description: The study can be considered a phase III trial comparison of two licensed preparations in a non-approved indication This controlled double blind trial aims to compare the effect of parenterally applied fat emulsions on the disease activity of RA patients as expressed by changes of the DAS28

To test for the hypothesis patients are randomized and treated with 2mlkg bodyweight of both preparations for seven consecutive days These treatment cycles are repeated four times at monthly intervals For not improving patients DAS28 decrease 06 escapes before the third and the fourth treatment cycle are foreseen In case of escape patients are treated with Omegaven in an open manner

Efficacy parameters comprise the DAS28 the ACR-criteria the M-HAQ the SF-36 and the co-medication consumption To assess safety laboratory parameters comprising LFT KFT CBC fasting glucose cholesterol HDL LDL neutral fat and urinary analysis are performed Moreover blood pressure control and clinically examinations are performed on a regular basis
