Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind study comparing ABT-494 to placebo in Japanese participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who are on a stable dose of conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) and have an inadequate response. Following marketing approval of upadacitinib for rheumatoid arthritis in Japan, this study will become a post-marketing clinical study and include a long-term extension period.
This study is in two parts and will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of escalating single intravenous (IV) doses of ocrelizumab compared with placebo in combination with methotrexate in participants with moderate to severe RA. Part 1 is the dose-escalation study, at one of the following dose levels of ocrelizumab [400, 1000, 1500, and 2000 milligrams (mg)]. In Part 2, participants will be randomized to explore tolerability and efficacy of doses which have been shown to be tolerated in Part 1.
The overall purpose of this trial is to assess clinical efficacy and safety of different subcutaneous doses of BI 655066/ABBV-066/risankizumab in adult patients with psoriatic arthritis in order to select doses for further clinical trials.
This double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study is designed to demonstrate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of SKI-O-703 in healthy volunteers. The results of this study will guide selection of dose levels for future multiple dose studies in healthy volunteers and adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis.
In this study the investigators will examine patients who have undergone unilateral ACL reconstruction surgery to determine which structural and functional characteristics of the knee two and ten years post reconstruction surgery, aspects of the original injury and repair, and patient characteristics are risk factors for osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction surgery.
Objectives: The overall goal of this study is to use the principles of chronic disease management to develop and test an online social networking intervention using the FB platform in a randomized controlled trial. Our specific objectives are as follows: Aim 1: To develop and establish an independent closed community in FB for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, providing an educational platform for disease self-management and the potential for engaging in social networking with peers (Phase 2). Objective 1. To beta test the features and navigation buttons and panels in the newly developed website and FB group. Objective 2. To evaluate the contents, ease of use and satisfaction with the newly developed website and FB group by patient advocates (consultants to the study) who participate as members of the Facebook community. Aim 2: To evaluate the efficacy of the FB community intervention combined with an educational website to improve patients' self-management (including knowledge, which is the primary outcome), decision making and patient-reported outcomes compared with the educational website alone (Phase 3). We hypothesize that participation in an online closed community offering evidence-based information combined with peer interaction and support will improve patients' knowledge.
The objective of this study is to elucidate the relationship between inflammation and lipoprotein atherogenicity, and to determine the relative contribution of inflammation and lipids to CV risk in RA. The central hypothesis of this study is that inflammation and lipoprotein atherogenicity is tightly linked such that both factors are important to assess CV risk in RA. Further, the investigators hypothesize that this relationship is obscured by a consideration of routine lipids alone.
Approximately, 40 to 50% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most frequent inflammatory arthritide, are non responders to the consensual 1st line of treatment : methotrexate. In these patients, it is well demonstrated that the addition of other immunomodulatory drug(s) often results in a significant improvement. However, the best option regarding the drug(s) to add remains unclear. Rheumatologists are currently used to adding a targeted therapy, such as anti-TNFα, and more recently abatacept or tocilizumab. Triple therapy using 3 conventional disease-modifying drugs (DMARDs), methotrexate or leflunomide+salazopyrine+hydroxychloroquine could be an alternative option to targeted therapies, all the more as they have a more favorable safety profile and a much lower cost. Uncertainty remains regarding the superiority of targeted therapies on triple therapy in methotrexate or leflunomide insufficient responders (IR). Investigators decided to address this issue by performing a randomized controlled pragmatic trial.
To study Fibrocytes in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Interstitial lung disease and severe asthma and healthy controls.
The study objective of Period 1 of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy (signs and symptoms) of upadacitinib 30 mg once daily (QD) alone and upadacitinib 15 mg QD alone versus continuing MTX alone adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with an inadequate response to MTX. The study objective of Period 2 is to evaluate the long term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of upadacitinib 30 mg QD and 15 mg QD in adults with RA who had completed Period 1.
