Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of TA-650 at increased dose of 10 mg/kg every 8 weeks in patients with psoriasis in whom effect of the treatment was confirmed after the treatment with Remicade® at 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks but decreased thereafter.
When patients with psoriasis develop joint pain, it is often hard to decide whether or not the pain is due to psoriatic arthritis (PsA). At this time, doctors use information from the history and physical exam to determine the diagnosis. X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound have been used to help with the diagnosis but all three have limitations. A newer imaging technique, whole body Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) uses the idea that inflammatory cells take up sugar to locate inflammation in the body. Because patients with PsA have inflammatory cells in their joints and tendons, this type of scan allows the physician to take a picture of the whole body and locate inflammation. The investigators have found that some patients with psoriasis (but without arthritis) have inflammation in joints and tendons even before the patient has symptoms. In this study, the investigators will explore how well PET/CT works for assessing inflammation in patients with PsA. This would be a very exciting tool that could be used to find and treat inflammation before it causes damage or pain.
The current study will assess the real - life effectiveness of adalimumab in the management of articular and dermatological manifestations of moderate to severe Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA).
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the long term safety of CP-690,550 in patients being treated for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis. This study will also to compare the efficacy of two oral doses of CP-690,550 (5 mg BID and 10 mg BID) after 16 weeks of treatment.
The study will examine the safety and effectiveness of AMG 827 for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, efficacy and dose response of BMS-945429 in subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis and an inadequate response to Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and non-biologic Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
This 12-month postmarketing observational study (PMOS) was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, multi-country study, with follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the initial baseline visit. The study was conducted to determine the long-term effectiveness of treatment with adalimumab in routine clinical use in participants with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) in Central and Eastern European Countries.
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, which has a estimated prevalence of 0.3 - 1 %. The clinical course varies, but PsA is often a progressive, erosive arthritis causing severe disability and increased mortality. The biologic treatment infliximab and etanercept have recently been introduced for treatment of PsA and psoriasis, and current data indicate a higher efficacy than with previously available therapies. No clinical trials on adalimumab in PsA are yet published (2005), but preliminary data are encouraging. The improved treatment options have increased the need for sensitive methods for diagnosis, monitoring and prognostication of PsA, so that the efficient therapies can be initiated at the optimal time point and monitored optimally. Ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a number of biomarkers are promising, but not yet sufficiently studied, methods for this. The hypothesis is that adalimumab will be an effective treatment option for PsA. Novel imaging- and biomarkers can provide additional information, compared to clinical measures and radiography, concerning activity, destructive progression and prediction of therapeutic response in PsA patients receiving adalimumab. The perspective is a potential improvement in diagnosis, monitoring and prognostication of patients with PsA.
Development of an interactive, online pain self-management program for adults who suffer from pain associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, and other arthritic conditions (e.g., psoriatic arthritis) using principles from Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1977). This online health intervention, painACTION: Arthritis, will provide clinically reliable information about diagnosis, treatment, and management of arthritis, written for health consumers in a clear and engaging manner to help increase their skills and confidence to use self-management strategies.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of secukinumab in patients with active psoriatic arthritis who are intolerant to or have had an inadequate response to NSAIDs, DMARDs and / or TNFα inhibitor therapy.
