Filter by:A randomized controlled trial with rheumatoid arthritis patients will be realized. Patients will be randomized into two groups. Experimental group will do a 12 weeks training of progressive resistance exercise for global muscles and remain with the clinical treatment and the control only remain with the clinical treatment. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, after 6, 12 and 24 weeks.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are chronic systemic autoimmune diseases that have been reported to affect the ocular surface of patients [1,2]. However, the nature of the disturbances of the ocular surface immunity and their relationship to systemic disease severity are poorly understood. This study aims to profile the ocular surface inflammation of RA and SLE patients by a., analysing levels of tear cytokine, and b., investigating conjunctival cells, and c. clinical imaging for conjunctival redness and tear stability. 20 consecutive RA patients and 20 consecutive SLE patients will be recruited from the Singapore General Hospital Rheumatology clinic. 20 age matched controls for SLE and another 20 age matched controls for RA will be recruited. All participants will undergo 1. Tear collection with Schirmer strips 2. EyePRIMTM (Opia Technologies) Impression Cytology Device for conjunctival sampling 3. Clinical ocular surface assessment with Oculus Keratograph 5M 4. Collection of blood via venipuncture (optional) 5. Retrieval of Clinical Information of participants The association of cytokines in the tears with various cellular and immune markers, as well as clinical signs of inflammation and tear stability will be investigated. This will be useful for further longitudinal studies of treatment in autoimmmune disease patients.
The primary objective in this study is to assess if single doses of BMS-986104 that are safe, tolerable, and result in sufficient lymphopenia (50% to 70% reduction in absolute lymphocyte count) can be achieved without bradycardia or other adverse events in healthy male subjects.
The objective was to determine the effects of BIRB 796 BS on CRP and clinical parameters in Rheumatoid Arthritis as measures of efficacy, and on population pharmacokinetics and safety parameters
Defining Which Remission Criterion at Month 6 Predicts Remission at Month 12 in a Real Life Clinical Practice, in a Cohort of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated with Etanercept
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Hydroxytriptolide(LTS) in active rheumatoid arthritis patients with an inadequate response to methotrexate.
Recommendations of Rheumatoid Arthritis management agree on the necessity of patient self-involvement in the care. In parallel, the observation of the adoption rate of websites directed toward patients may indicate that this involvement is shared by a large number ot the population. However, most of these sites are only informative and few of them offer patients to be engaged to generate their own data that can impact on the patient-physician relationship by easing the dialog and then leading to better mutual understanding. As new web or mobile services allowing patients to self-report their outcomes are flourishing only a very few of them have already addressed the their impact of the patient-physician relationship. The main objective of this study is to quantify the effect of a website (Sanoia) on the quality of patient-doctor interactions, as perceived by the patient using the french translations of the Peppi Questionnaire during the 12 months observation period. In France, the patient protection committee (CPP) has ranked this study in "Soins Courants" (Usual Care).
The primary objective of the study was to investigate the association between residual disease activity at Baseline as detected by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the occurrence of flares in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) randomized to an adalimumab dose tapering regimen controlled by adalimumab withdrawal.
This study consist of treatment phase (12 weeks) and extension phase (40 weeks). This study is a multicenter, open-label, uncontrolled, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to evaluate mainly the safety and tolerability of 12-week repeated subcutaneous administration of E6011 in Japanese subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis. First 12 subjects will enroll as 100 mg group, next 12 subjects will enroll as 200 mg group, and last 9 subjects will enroll as 400 mg group. A total of 33 subjects will receive repeated subcutaneous administration of E6011. Subjects who roll over onto the Extension phase will have continued monitoring until 52 weeks after the initial administration.
