Filter by:A French Survey on patients' practices, knowledge and beliefs about diet in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondylarthritis) Use of a questionnaire about what patients have heard concerning diet and rheumatism, what kind of diet they tried eventually and how it affected their health and disease
The purpose of this study is to cast light on the highly complex etiology and cellular landscape of hip osteoarthritis by utilising single-cell and spatial transcriptomics.
This is a phase 2 study to determine 2-HOBA's tolerability, safety, and effect on isoLG-adducts in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Up to 32 subjects will be randomized to 750mg 2-HOBA or matching placebo three times a day for 4 weeks. As primary outcome measures investigators will compare tolerability and adverse events and changes in isoLG adducts in active and placebo arms. Among prespecified exploratory outcomes investigators will compare changes in markers of inflammation, DAS28 score, and 24-hour blood pressure in active and placebo arms. This pilot study will inform the feasibility and design of future studies to examine the efficacy of 2-HOBA in RA patients.
Periodontitis is an infectious disease defined by bacteria-mediated inflammation of the supporting tissues of the teeth that if left untreated may ultimately lead to the destruction of the attachment apparatus, culminating in tooth loss. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic destructive inflammatory disease characterized by autoantibodies and the accumulation and persistence of an inflammatory infiltrate in the synovial membrane that leads to synovitis and the destruction of the joint architecture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible beneficial additional value of non-surgical periodontal therapy on systemic markers of inflammation and clinical and serological parameters of rheumatoid arthritis.
During rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (in comparison with control subjects), body composition is altered with a loss of lean body mass, bone mass and an accumulation of fat mass. Determination of total body fat and particularly its abdominal distribution (visceral adiposity) is important because of the cardiovascular (excess cardiovascular risk), metabolic (insulin resistance, diabetes and dyslipidemia) and bone (increased fracture risk) risks associated with this endocrine organ. Moreover, we do not have data concerning medullary adiposity in RA. This pilot case-control study will be compare body composition, bone marrow adiposity and bone mineral density in patients with RA versus healthy volunteers.
Evaluate effect of biological therapy on activity of RA compared to usual DMARDs
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune polyarthritis affecting ∼1% of the world population, resulting in the loss of joint function and progressive structural damage in affected joints. Fexofenadine has been widely used to treat various allergic diseases, like allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. the molecular mechanisms underlying fexofenadine mediated inhibition of TNF-α signalling
The current study pretends to clarify, whether or not a healthy anti inflammatory diet improves different health-related outcomes in participants with rheumatoid arthritis.
Rationale: In rheumatoid arthritis, immune cells cause joint inflammation and destruction in response to autoantigens. Immunosuppressive therapies offer relief but fail to induce tolerance to autoantigens. Injection of antigen-loaded tolerogenic dendritic cells induces immune tolerance and ameliorates disease in arthritis models. The investigators hypothesize that dendritic cell therapy with TolDCB29 is safe and induces immune tolerance in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Objective: The aim of the study is to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of intranodal TolDCB29 administration. Secondary objectives are the characterization of B29-peptide specific immune reactivity in response to TolDCB29 treatment and the evaluation of the effect of the treatment on disease activity. Study design: Phase I/II, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial. Study population: Adult patients (>18 years) with rheumatoid arthritis in remission or low disease activity while on disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) will be included. Any combination and dose of DMARD is allowed, with exception of Janus kinase inhibitors. Concomitant use of a low dose of prednisone (7.5 mg per day or below) is allowed. Medication should be stable for at least twelve weeks. 18 patients will undergo the experimental treatment. Intervention: Study participants will receive two intranodal injections with the TolDCB29 product with a four-week interval. During the first phase of the study dose escalation is performed, in which the first group (n=3) receives two "low dose" injections, the second group (n=3) receives two "intermediate dose" injections, and the third group (n=3) receives two "high dose" injections. During the second phase, a fourth group (n=9) will receive the highest dosage without attributable serious adverse events thus far.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind phase2 study to evaluate the safety and investigate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of Hemay007 in Patients with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis who are on a stable dose of DMARDs.
