Determine if Anti-CD20 is more effective than Anti-TNF in the clinical improvement of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Material and methods: A prospective observational cohort study was carried out in which 58 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were included, according to selection criteria, which were divided into 2 groups: exposed to treatment with Anti-CD20 (Rituximab) and exposed to treatment with Anti-TNF (Etanercept). In this study, the results were expressed with frequencies and percentages for qualitative variables and the mean with its standard deviation for quantitative variables. In the statistical analysis, the chi square and t student tests were used, in addition, the relative risk of clinical improvement was calculated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, as an effectiveness parameter in relation to the use of Anti CD20 and Anti-TNF. Results: There were no significant differences in treatment regarding gender, systemic lupus erythematosus, level of education, dyslipidemia, Sjogren’s syndrome, scleroderma mixed connective tissue disease, polymyositis and panarteritis nodosa between patients in both study groups (p>0.05), but there was a significant difference regarding age and time of illness (p<0.05); the effectiveness of Anti-CD20 in clinical improvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was 19/29= 66%, the effectiveness of Anti-TNF in clinical improvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was 21/29= 72%, however, there wasn´t found a significant difference in the clinical improvement of patients with rheumatoid arthritis between anti-CD20 and anti-TNF. Conclusion: Anti-CD20 is not more effective than anti-TNF in the clinical improvement of patients with rheumatoid arthritis
