Filter by:A variant of the TNFSF13B gene, commonly referred to as BAFF-var has been associated with an increased risk of developing immune-mediated diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This polymorphism leads to the production of higher levels of BAFFs, that in turns are associated with more severe disease, high anti-Sm and anti-dsDNA titre, complement consumption, and increased risk of flare in SLE, and higher disease activity in RA. This is a prospective study aiming to explore the immunological basis of a potential role of BAFF-var as a prognostic biomarker for response to belimumab and rituximab, the main B-depletive treatments, in SLE and RA patients, respectively. More in detail, the study aims to evaluate if the condition of BAFF-var carrier in SLE and RA patients, treated respectively, with belimumab plus standard of care or rituximab influences immunological, molecular and clinical variables, such as: (a) soluble BAFF (BAFFs) cytokine, (b) mRNA-BAFF (c) miRNA-15a (d) B-cell subpopulations (d) disease activity, as assessed by standardized clinimetric tools.
Chronic peripherial arthritides are common diseases with soaring public health consequences. Our goal is to assess the role of photon-counting detector computed tomography in the diagnostics of peripherial arthropathies.
This study includes RA patients in pregnancy, who are using different treatment regimens，including prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, and/or TNF inhibitors. The maternal disease activity, pregnancy outcomes, maternal and fetal safety are assessing during the trimester of pregnancy. The effects of different therapies and risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes will be analysis.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Persona Keel cementless and cemented knee.
This study includes naive patients and csDMARDs-IR RA patients, treated with different regimens such as Iguratimod combination of different csDMARDs, or csDMARD with TNF inhibitors for 24 weeks. The disease activity and drug response will be observed. The immune disorder and synovial function will be evaluated at the same time.
Glucocorticoids are effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, but long-term use of glucocorticoids has many side effects. Tofacitinib is a new small-molecule drug targeting JAK, which has been found to act quickly. The aim of this clinical trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids in inducing remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with moderate to high disease activity.
The RESOLVE study is a two-part, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled study of the safety, dose-range finding confirmation, and efficacy of 4 (Part A) and 12 weeks (Part B) of treatment with AP1189 in adult RA patients with an inadequate response to MTX alone.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients being seen at one of the participating clinical sites in a U.S. network of community rheumatology practices who are starting treatment on adalimumab or upadacitinib will be enrolled into a 24-week study combining clinical data from physicians, self-reported patient outcomes from the ArthritisPower registry app, and activity and sleep data from a Fitbit wearable device. The primary objective of this study is: • Evaluate longitudinal associations between biometric sensor data (activity and sleep measures), physician-derived data (including clinical disease activity index (CDAI), Rheumatoid Factor (RF) lab results and other relevant biomarkers, current medications and disease duration), and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) (including PROMIS pain interference, physical function, fatigue, sleep disturbance, satisfaction with participation in discretionary social activities, and anxiety). The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: - Explore the reliability and predictive validity of biometric sensor data to classify changes in RA disease activity and associated symptoms, including PROs. - To assess adherence and predictors of adherence with use of biometric sensor - Assess/track changes in upadacitinib and adalimumab patients using combined physician, PRO and biosensor data.
This study aims at evaluating the therapeutic effects of Cilostazol as adjuvant therapies to low dose of Methotrexate in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and to evaluate their impact on Cyclic adenosine monophosphate(CAMP), Heme Oxygenase-1(HO-1).
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is known as a long-lasting inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting the diarthrodial joints, which is diagnosed by inflammation and hyperplasia in synovium, generation of RF and anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA), deformity of cartilage and bone, systemic injuries involving cardiovascular, pulmonary, psychological, and skeletal disorders (McInnes and Schett., 2011).
