Filter by:This study will assess the onset and maintenance of effect of tocilizumab on relief in patients with active moderate or severe rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to DMARDs or anti-TNF. For the first, double-blind, part of the study patients will be randomized to receive an iv infusion of either 8mg/kg tocilizumab or placebo. After 4 weeks this will be followed by 11 months treatment with tocilizumab 8mg/kg iv infusion every 4 weeks. Methotrexate or DMARD therapy will be continued throughout study treatment. Target sample size is >100.
To explore the effect of CP-690,550 on blood and synovial markers in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CP-690,550.
Part 1 of this trial will assess the safety and effectiveness of subcutaneous (SC) golimumab administered by autoinjector once monthly, when combined with different disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) regimens used in daily rheumatology practice. Subsequently, Part 2 will study if a strategy of intravenous (IV) golimumab to induce remission followed by SC golimumab to retain remission is superior to continuing a SC regimen.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and safety of golimumab with methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) when compared to MTX alone.
BACKGROUND: Intra-articular glucocorticoid injections are frequently used to relieve symptoms of arthritis. Postinjection rest has been shown to improve the outcome of knee joint injections, but not for wrist injections. Consequently, different joints respond differently on postinjection regimens. OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether better treatment results might be achieved of post-injection rest following intra-articular glucocorticoid treatment for elbow synovitis. METHODS: 90 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and elbow synovitis were treated with 20 mg intra-articular triamcinolone hexacetonide and randomised to either a 48 hour immobilisation in a triangular sling (n=46) or normal activity without restrictions (n=44). Primary endpoint was relapse of synovitis. In addition, pain, function according to a self assessment questionnaire (PREE) and range of movement were followed for six months.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of Oncoxin+Viusid administration in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 12 weeks. The estimated number of persons with rheumatoid arthritis to be recruited and randomized for the study is 86. The primary outcome measure: DAS28 score will be assessed at the end of the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a short motivational patient-centered intervention for non-adherent patients is more successful in improving beliefs about medication (and adherence) compared to a usual care control group of non-adherent patients.
The hypothesis is that healing may influence the patient's general status by altering psychological as well as other body functions of importance for the rheumatoid arthritis. This is tested in a three group design with a control group and two groups receiving healing with or without a healer present. The study is randomized and double blind.
The primary purpose of the study is to help answer the following research questions, and not to provide treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): - The safety of LY2439821 and any side effects that might be associated with it. - Whether LY2439821 can help patients with active RA. - How much LY2439821 should be given to patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-614 versus placebo when added to ongoing, stable-dose methotrexate therapy in patients with persistently active rheumatoid arthritis
