Filter by:Phase I study designed to determine the safety and tolerability of a single dose of BIIB023 administered intravenously versus placebo to subjects with RA.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of golimumab in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis despite DMARD (Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs) therapy. Another objective is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of golimumab.
This Phase 1b/2a study will evaluate safety, tolerability pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of brodalumab when administered in multiple subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) doses in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in combination with a stable dose of disease modulating anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Part A is dose escalation (to assess safety & tolerability), and Part B is dose expansion (to assess clinical efficacy) at the highest tolerated dose level of brodalumab from Part A.
The Disease Activity Score (DAS) is a system of measurement developed in the 1980s that uses certain criteria, including joint counts and patient perceived disease activity, to measure disease activity in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis . More recently, the European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) has developed a new system of measurement known as the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease score, or EULAR-RAID score. The EULAR-RAID score is a composite score based on patient reported outcomes, and includes such criteria as pain, functional disability, fatigue, sleep disturbances, coping, overall assessment of physical well being and overall assessment of psychological well being. The objective of this study is to evaluate the practical modalities and performance of the EULAR- RAID score in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have been prescribed etanercept as part of usual medical practice.
The purpose of the study is to assess early signs of response to abatacept+methotrexate in metacarpophalangeal joints in both hands using power Doppler ultrasonography in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis.
The Swefot trial was designed to compare two treatment strategies for patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (less than 1 year symptom duration): the use of a combination of traditional antirheumatic medications (DMARDs), versus a combination including a newer "biological" anti-TNF medication. In order to make this trial consistent with current practices in rheumatology, all patients were first given the most commonly used antirheumatic medication, methotrexate (MTX). After 3-4 months those patients who had not responded adequately to this treatment were randomized to receive either MTX plus sulfasalazine plus hydroxychloroquine, or MTX plus infliximab. Again, to be truly life-like, the trial allowed patients who could not tolerate one of the added medications to switch in treatment - but keeping with the same strategy - so that sulfasalazine plus hydroxychloroquine could be replaced by cyclosporin A, and infliximab by etanercept. The primary outcome in this trial was the percentage of patients who, after one year of treatment, achieved a "good response" as defined by Eular.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the survivorship and efficacy of the Encore 3DKnee™ system in a group of patients who will receive the 3DKnee™ as a primary (first) orthopedic implant in the knee. Each knee will be designated as a separate subject and followed for a period of 2 years.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CeramTec Acetabular Alumina Insert and CeramTec Alumina head when used with the Foundation Porous Coated Acetabular Shell and an Encore hip stem.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a form of arthritis that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. Over time, joint deformity, joint destruction, and loss of function can occur. Current treatment aims to improve symptoms, but there is no cure for the disease. Pioglitazone is drug that is effective in treating people with diabetes. This study will determine whether pioglitazone can also be used to effectively treat people with RA.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of TAK-783, once daily (QD), taken in combination with methotrexate in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis.
