This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial with two parallel arms. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether Chinese herbal medicine Qing Re Huo Xue (QRHX) combined with methotrexate (MTX) might be better than MTX alone for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
This is an investigational new drug clinical trial for combined Phase 1 dose escalation study and Phase 2a randomized, placebo controlled and double blinded study using intravenous injection of autologous adipose stem cells (Celltex AdMSCs) for rheumatoid arthritis patients. All subjects are monitored for safety (adverse events/severe adverse events) and evaluated for RAPID3, DAS28 and ACR20 regarding AdMSCs up to 52 weeks study duration.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of VIB4920 (formerly MEDI4920) in adult participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The purpose of the study is to assess systemic certolizumab pegol (CZP) exposure, the formation of anti-CZP antibodies and safety of CZP across the course of pregnancy in study participants with chronic inflammatory diseases.
The TREMERA study focuses on patients with newly diagnosed, untreated, rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent international treatment recommendations emphasise the need to diagnose RA early and start treatment immediately (this being associated with better response rates); and to aim for the goal of remission i.e. the absence of signs and symptoms of active inflammatory disease activity which is associated with better outcomes for the patient. Remission is more achievable with significant treatment advances that have been made in the form of highly effective biologic therapies. Tocilizumab (TCZ) is a newly introduced biologic drug that is used in established RA. The TREMERA study primarily aims to investigate the biological changes seen in blood and tissue following TCZ therapy this will contribute to a better understanding of how the drug works as well as disease processes; and will also identify whether administering a biologic drug such as TCZ can also switch off immunological parameters associated with a disrupted immune system of RA. The study will assess the effectiveness of TCZ given on its own or in combination with methotrexate (MTX; a standard therapy usually given with biologic treatments)in patients with early onset RA to determine the proportion that achieve remission. This study also aims to find out how quickly remission can be achieved with TCZ and the depth of remission achieved. This will be done using usual clinical assessment but also imaging such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which can detect inflammation not apparent on clinical assessment.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the leading chronic inflammatory rheumatism, with a prevalence of about 0.4% of the population. First-line therapy with synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (including methotrexate) is insufficiently effective in 40% of cases. These patients are then treated with biotherapies. The use of these bio-drugs increases each year, becoming a public health issue and a considerable economic burden. Besides, their growth is just beginning, as they are among the major purveyors of pharmacy innovations. There are about ten bio-drugs currently on the market for rheumatoid arthritis with an average annual treatment cost of 8 to 12 K € per patient. This cost is 20 times higher than that of synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. However, among patients treated with biotherapies, clinical practice shows that about one-third will not respond to the selected drug. In the case of non-response, practitioners currently have no choice but to perform an empirical rotation between the different treatments, because no tool capable of predicting the response or non-response to these molecules is currently available. The study is a prospective, phase III, controlled, multicenter, and randomized, single-blind (patient) clinical trial. - Intervention arm: Prescription of biotherapy (rituximab, adalimumab, abatacept) using SinnoTest® software - Control arm: Prescription of biotherapy without the SinnoTest® software which corresponds to current practice (all biotherapies). In addition, a sub study will be carried out within this trial to analyse the proteomic profile of the patients included and their modification throughout the study. To study the clinical and pharmacoeconomic impact after 6 months of the use of the SinnoTest® predictive tool in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have failed to a first anti-TNF biologic agent compared to usual care.
Comparison of lower dosage etoricoxib (60 mg daily) with aceclofenac (100 mg bid) for their efficacy and safety in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
In this study, investigators aimed to observe the examination findings, laboratory findings and drugs used in routine polyclinic controls of the participants using biological and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) and the doses and side effects of these drugs. The aim of this registry is to evaluate the real-life data of participants receiving these medications. Analysis of treatment follow-up, drug changes, causes of change, treatment-related paradoxic / immune reactions, compliance with adult vaccination programs, nutritional profiles, presence of metabolic syndrome, fertility status, pregnancy outcomes, and vitamin D levels will be recorded in the outpatient clinic. Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease, Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID and PSAID indexes), Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI), drug compliance, central sensitization and fall risk will be evaluated with verbal evaluation forms performed at policlinic controls in patients with spondyloarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is planned to conduct scientific analyzes and publish on various subjects from the recorded information on this registration system. Patients using biological and targeted synthetic DMARD treatments are closely monitored and evaluated in many ways due to the risk profiles and various characteristics of the drugs. With this registry system, it is aimed to evaluate the real-life data of the participants using these drugs. Real-life data are very valuable in monitoring the disease and the drugs. The study is observational and there is no expected risk since no intervention is planned.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial with two parallel arms. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F combined with methotrexate (MTX) might be better than MTX alone for postmenopausal women with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
