Filter by:Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can affect various organs, including the lungs, and lead to rheumatoid arthritis-interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). RA-ILD is responsible for increased mortality in rheumatoid arthristis (RA) patients. The prevalence of RA-ILD varies according to the screening tool used. The current gold standard is chest CT, but this is an expensive, time-consuming and irradiating examination, and recommendations on when and how often it should be performed are not clearly established. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an emerging tool for the detection of lung parenchymal damage, particularly in systemic scleroderma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). LUS is a non-irradiating, non-expensive examination that can be performed rapidly. The aim of our study is to evaluate LUS as a screening tool for RA-ILD, in patients with risk factors for developing RA-ILD.
An ongoing long-term cohort study is conducted in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, that is dedicated to recruiting RA patients, to identify the development of clinical, neuroimaging, and biochemical biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of RA, especially for those with sarcopenia/myopenia To improve the prognosis of RA, this study includes the following objectives: 1. Construct a useful database to explore the secular dynamic progress of RA, especially the difference between early and lately RA, as well as to improve our understanding of the life-course factors affecting the process that will facilitate future research activities. 2. Identify the potential markers (clinical, biomedical and imaging) affecting/predicting the development process of sarcopenia/myopenia or other prognosis in RA patients. 3. Develop the related multi-modal prediction models with clinical, biomedical and imaging variables to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of RA.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic auto-inflammatory disorder which imposes a remarkable burden of morbidity and mortality on global health. The complex interaction between genetics, environment, and immunological response contribute to RA pathogenesis. Current treatment comprises conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) followed by biological DMARDs, if necessary, to achieve low disease activity or remission. Therapeutics used in RA had limitations in tolerability, access, and response duration and magnitude. Consequently, implementation of safe adjunctive treatment for RA is urgently needed to boost the therapeutic response.
Evaluation of resistive index on the renal artery as early predictor factor of renal affection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The purpose of this Non-inferiority Randomized Clinical Trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of RHEUPP App during telehealth follow-up in a population of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients from a Tertiary Rheumatology Service in South Brazil. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Using RHEUPP App in telemedicine is not inferior to usual care in terms of means obtained by CDAI. Participants will be stratified by CDAI and then randomized 1:1 for intervention or control group. They will be evaluated at study starting, in 3 and 6 months, an extended evaluation after 12 months of recruitment is predicted. Researchers will compare intervention and control group to detect differences between usual care and Telehealth follow-up and determine if the last is not less effective in our study population of rheumatic patients.
The goal of this prospective single-arm open-label trial is to learn about efficacy and safety of Bortezomib in treating patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is Bortezomib an effective treatment option for patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis? - Is Bortezomib safe enough in treating patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis? Participants will: - Receive Bortezomib 2 mg per week subcutaneously for twelve weeks in total. - Follow-up at weeks 4, 12, and 24, while biosamples will be collected.
This phase 1 study will consist of two parts: Phase 1a is a single-dose study, and will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary pharmacodynamics (PD) in healthy participants. Phase 1b is a multiple doses study, and will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary PD in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of hydroxypropyl guar-and hyaluronic acid containing lubricant eye drops in rheumatoid arthritis patients . The main question it aims to answer is: • whether adding hydroxypropyl guar-and hyaluronic acid containing lubricant eye drops to steroid-based dry eye therapy improves dry eye symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis patients after 1 month. Participants with rheumatoid arthritis will be treat with SYSTANE™ Hydration Lubricant Eye Drops (1-2 drops 4 times a day) and 0.1% Fluorometholone (1-2 drops 3 times a day) in both eyes for 12 weeks
This study will test the safety and effects of SBT777101 when given as a single dose to subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. It is the first study of this treatment being done in humans. Increasing dose levels will be given after the safety at lower dose levels is shown.
Studies have reported that individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis have a smaller muscle cross-sectional area, pennation angle and muscle thickness than healthy controls. Sarcopenia may decrease physical performance and quality of life in individuals with RA. Therefore, morphologic changes in the quadriceps femoris muscle due to sarcopenia may help us to gain insight into physical function and quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the predictive capacity of morphologic characteristics of the quadriceps femoris muscle for disease activity, physical performance, and quality of life in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
