Filter by:This study is a 24-months, non-inferiority randomized, controlled trial with two parallel arms to determine if a new follow-up strategy for patients with RA is non-inferior in maintaining comprehensive disease control measured as simultaneous maintenance of structural, functional and clinical treatment target at 2-year follow-up compared to the conventional follow-up regimen with regular hospital visits.
This is a phase 3 study to compare efficacy and safety of CT-P47 and RoActemra in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis.
This study is to characterize the use of tofacitinib after use of rituximab in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in a real-world setting.
Vitamin D level and its association with disease activity in Egyptian Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients
This study aims at evaluating the therapeutic effects of both Nitazoxanide and Escitalopram as adjuvant therapies in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and to evaluate their impact on STAT3/ JAK2, TLR /IL -1β signaling pathways.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects 1 percent of the population worldwide and up to 40 percent of patients don't respond to current treatments. MBS2320, the drug being tested in this trial, represents a new approach to treating RA, with the potential not only to reduce levels of inflammation but to also directly prevent bone damage. The aim of this project is to test the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MBS2320 in patients with RA in combination with an existing treatment, methotrexate. Approximately 224 participants with moderate to severe active RA who have not responded to treatment with Methotrexate will be enrolled from around 45 to 55 sites around the world. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 doses of MBS2320 (5 mg, 20 mg, or 40 mg) or placebo (a "dummy" drug). The maximum duration of study participation for a participant will be 22 weeks, which consists of a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks, Treatment Period of 12 weeks, and a Follow-up Period of 6 weeks. Participants on the study will be asked to attend the hospital or clinic for regular visits during which they will have planned study assessments to evaluate the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of the study drug.
Current standard of care of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) management includes a routine clinical assessment of disease activity to adjust therapy. For the most part, therapy adjustment for therapy non-response and/or suboptimal therapy response leads to therapy switch within the same class of therapy or to a different class of therapy. The lack of objective data to titrate dose of a given therapeutic agent for maximal possible efficacy makes it difficult for providers and payors to titrate dose as needed. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) provides objective data for a proactive and individualized therapy optimization based on serum drug levels and the presence or absence of anti-drug antibodies. Maintaining optimal trough drug concentration is a proven concept of therapeutics. With respect to adalimumab, this approach helps to maximize therapeutic efficacy and prevent anti-adalimumab antibody development. However, lack of drug and disease state specific published data creates a barrier for a wider adoption of TDM into clinical practice. The objective of this single site, open label, randomized, parallel group pilot study is to investigate whether proactive therapeutic drug monitoring based adalimumab dose optimization results in higher rate of achieving and/or maintaining therapeutic goal compared to standard of care in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is more severe in Hispanic people. Genetics plays a role. But social issues may also lead to more severe RA in Hispanics. Some Hispanics may not seek help for early symptoms. Support from family and friends may persuade people to seek treatment earlier. Researchers want to learn more about how social factors affect RA in Hispanics. Objective: This natural history study will explore genetic and social factors related to RA in Hispanic families. Eligibility: People aged 18 years or older of Hispanic/Latino heritage. They may have RA or RA symptoms; they may also have a relative or partner with RA or RA symptoms. Design: Participants will receive an email or text with a link to a 30-minute online survey. They will answer questions about these things: Physical and emotional health How health problems affect their life Family history of RA and other conditions Cultural identity and language preference Participants may also answer these questions in a phone call or an in-person interview. Participants will be asked to list people in their social network. They will answer questions about those relationships. They will be asked if they want to invite their family and friends to participate in the study. If more than 1 person from a participant s family takes part in the study, they may be invited for an interview. They will answer questions about how arthritis pain affects their mind and body. Participants will give a sample of saliva. They will spit into a vial. They will mail it in using a prepaid label.
The aim of this study is to observe the clinical efficacy and safety of abatacept combined with JAK inhibitor in the treatment of D2TRA patients
Montelukast is widely used in patients with asthma. Several preclinical data suggest that it could be repositioned as novel strategy for managing rheumatic patients by decreasing inflammatory mediators. Considering the probable enhanced antiarthritic effects of montelukast; it could be hypothesized that its adjuvant use might improve treatment outcomes in rheumatic patients who remain poorly controlled despite initial optimal guidelines directed medical treatment. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the potential added benefits of montelukast use in conjunction with csDMARDs in RA patients with moderate and high disease activity.
