The At-Home ULTRA Study will evaluate performance of the MINI system as indicated for the treatment of adults with active, moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who are inadequate responders or are intolerant to conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs), or targeted synthetic DMARDs (tsDMARDs). The non-invasive study device delivers ultrasound stimulation to the spleen to reduce inflammation. The study will enroll at least 60 participants at up to 8 sites. There will be three arms consisting of two active stimulation groups (treatment) and one non-active stimulation group (sham-control). After completing the double-blinded primary endpoint assessment period at Week 12, there will be a one-way crossover of control participants to active stimulation and an additional 12 week follow-up with all participants to evaluate long-term outcomes.

A 2-stage, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicenter study. Participants will be randomized into three groups, where one group is the standard of care control and the other two groups are standard of care plus differing stimulation settings of the SecondWave MINI therapy. Participants assigned to the treatment group will receive active stimulation for 20 min once per day, and those assigned to the control group will receive sham-stimulation for 20 min once per day.
