Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if a weight loss intervention will improve your rheumatoid arthritis disease activity.
This is an open-label, single-dose, study in healthy males. The primary objective is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), metabolism, and routes of elimination of a single oral dose of radiolabeled BMS-986142 in healthy male subjects.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and disabling disease. tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a) inhibitors have demonstrated an outstanding performance in relieving joint inflammation and retarding bone erosion involved in RA. However, there is still about one-thirds of RA patients had a poor response to TNF α inhibitors. The Investigators hope to discover prediction protein with a domestic genetic background and finally establish prediction system with Chinese characteristics.
To observe the relationship between the activity of rheumatoid arthritis and popliteal/epitrochlear lymph node morphology and the drainage of hand/foot superficial lymphatic vessels
This is a multicenter, prospective, non-interventional, observational single arm study. 100 patients will be recruited in the Netherlands over a one year period. In all cases, the decision to treat the patient with apremilast will be made prior to the decision to enter the subject into this study. Treatment will be according to routine clinical practice and based on recommendations as per the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) of apremilast (Otezla®). Each patient will be followed up for a maximum of 24 months.
This is an open label study to assess the improvement in the Disease Activity Score for 28-joint counts (DAS28) with ticagrelor given at 90 mg twice daily in patients with RA who have active disease despite MTX therapy (as defined by the inclusion/exclusion criteria). There will also be a cross sectional analysis of baseline platelet activity in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Subjects in the OA cohort will not receive any study medication, and will only have one study visit. Patients will receive 90 mg ticagrelor orally bid. The patients will receive drug for 30-days. Methotrexate dose will remain stable throughout the study duration.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of filgotinib versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as measured by the percentage of participants achieving an American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement response (ACR20) at Week 12.
Behavioral problems are part of many of the chronic diseases that cause the majority of illness, disability and death. Tobacco, diet, physical inactivity, alcohol, drug abuse, failure to take treatment, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and stress are major issues, especially when chronic medical problems such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, or kidney disease are also present. These behavioral problems can often be helped, but the current health care system doesn't do a good job of getting the right care to these patients. Behavioral health includes mental health care, substance abuse care, health behavior change, and attention to family and other psychological and social factors. Many people with behavioral health needs present to primary care and may be referred to mental health or substance abuse specialists, but this method is often unacceptable to patients. Two newer ways have been proposed for helping these patients. In co-location, a behavioral health clinician (such as a Psychologist or Social Worker) is located in or near the primary practice to increase the chance that the patient will make it to treatment. In Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH), a Behavioral Health Clinician is specially trained to work closely with the medical provider as a full member of the primary treatment team. The research question is: Does increased integration of evidence-supported behavioral health and primary care services, compared to simple co-location of providers, improve outcomes? The key decision affected by the research is at the practice level: whether and how to use behavioral health services. The investigators plan to do a randomized, parallel group clustered study of 3,000 subjects in 40 practices with co-located behavioral health services. Practices randomized to the active intervention will convert to IBH using a practice improvement method that has helped in other settings. The investigators will measure the health status of patients in each practice before and after they start using IBH. The investigators will compare the change in those outcomes to health status changes of patients in practices who have not yet started using IBH. The investigators plan to study adults who have both medical and behavioral problems, and get their care in Family Medicine clinics, General Internal Medicine practices, and Community Health Centers.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of ASP1707 twice daily on the pharmacokinetics of once weekly oral methotrexate (MTX). This study will also evaluate the effect of MTX on multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of ASP1707, as well as safety and tolerability of coadministration of ASP1707 and MTX in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Prospective, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation, safety with pharmacokinetics (PK) and dosimetry study of injected Tc 99m tilmanocept in the detection of and assessment of localization to skeletal joints in subjects with and without active RA by SPECT imaging.
