Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of secukinumab and ustekinumab in patients with active psoriatic arthritis who showed failure to previous TNFα-inhibitor treatment
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug ixekizumab is safe and effective in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categories of enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) (including juvenile onset ankylosing spondylitis [JoAS]) and juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA).
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) are types of inflammatory arthritis. They are disabling conditions caused by inflammation in joints that can lead to pain, stiffness, fatigue and joint damage. There is currently no cure but treatment is aimed at reducing joint inflammation. Some of the most promising new therapies work by interfering with the binding of a molecule called tumour necrosis factor (TNF). In recent years, new anti-TNF drugs (such as adalimumab, etanercept and certolizumab) have been developed that block the action of TNF and reduce this inflammation. These drugs are very effective in controlling inflammation for many patients whose arthritis has not responded to other therapies. Some patients can take these medications for a long time. If a patient is stable on their rheumatoid arthritis biologic or biosimilar, tapering the drug is often considered. The investigators are planning to look at drug level and anti-drug antibody testing to guide anti-TNF tapering (reducing) decisions in UK patients with RA who have stable, reduced arthritis symptoms. The investigators think that measuring these drug levels and anti-drug antibodies in blood samples will be useful for guiding this process, but the investigators can't be sure. It is important to do this safely so the patient doesn't experience a flare of their disease symptoms. The study will be used to determine whether a much larger study to assess the usefulness of these measurements would be achievable. This study will assess whether measuring biomarkers (measurable substances in the blood) that may affect a patient's response to treatment. If a patient are eligible to take part, they will be randomly allocated to one of the following groups; - Their Doctor receiving information and treatment advice based on their blood results or - Their Doctor not receiving this information
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab compared to placebo in anti-TNF naïve subjects with active PsA .
The overall aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary combined clinic intervention compared to usual care in a population of patients with two or more Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs).
This is a study to assess the long-term safety, long-term efficacy and tolerability of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) in adult subjects with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Background: Inflammatory arthritis (IA) causes work disability, absenteeism (sick leave) and presenteeism (reduced productivity) at high cost to individuals, employers and society. A trial of job retention vocational rehabilitation (VR) amongst people with IA in the US showed that VR reduced work disability. However, it is unknown whether this approach transfers to the United Kingdom (UK) with a different social and welfare structure. Previously, we modified the VR for the UK, funded by Arthritis Research UK (the WORKWELL programme) and demonstrated it to be deliverable and acceptable in a feasibility trial. Our aim now is to move to the definitive UK trial testing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of WORKWELL. Methods: A multicentre randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Employed people with rheumatoid, psoriatic or inflammatory arthritis (n=240), with concerns about continuing working due to arthritis, will be randomized to receive WORKWELL or control (written advice). WORKWELL includes individualised VR (maximum 4.5 hours over several months): assessing work problems; encouraging arthritis self-management in the workplace; addressing ergonomics; considering fatigue and stress management; providing orthoses and educating on employment rights and support services, assistive technology and work modifications. It also includes psychological and disclosure support, workplace visits and employer liaison (as applicable). Outcomes will be assessed at 0, 6 and 12 months by questionnaire. The primary outcome is the Work Limitations Questionnaire-25 (measuring presenteeism: summed score) at 12 and 36 months, with cost-effectiveness analysis at 12 months. Discussion: If effective and cost-effective, WORKWELL can be rolled out in Rheumatology services to help improve the quality and duration of people with arthritis' working lives.
Following the evidence from the controlled clinical trial setting on the significant clinical benefits of apremilast in the treatment of active PsA, there is a scarcity of real-life evidence on the effectiveness and the beneficial role of apremilast in PsA in routine clinical practice. The present study primarily aims to generate real-world evidence on the impact of apremilast treatment on a broad population of biologic-naïve PsA patients in terms of its clinical effectiveness across the wide spectrum of disease manifestations, as well as its impact on disease burden and HRQoL, in the routine primary care settings of Greece.
Optional open label, roll over extension study to investigate the efficacy and safety of secukinumab treatment in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) subtypes of Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis (JPsA) and Enthesitis Related Arthritis (ERA).
The purpose of this study is to create and test a patient decision aid that facilitates the shared decision-making process when patients with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis are starting or switching to a new therapy.
