Filter by:Periodontitis and Rhematoid arthritis are chronic inflammatory diseases which share common risk factors The purpose of this study is to determine if Pentraxin 3 and Porphyromonas Gingivalis levels play an important role in the progression of both the diseases.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic disease characterized by persistent joint inflammation. The immune system disruption that leads to overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6) is a cascade of events on different levels—some molecular, some cellular, and some systemic. Our objective is to identify the mechanisms through which physical activity is liable to mediate inflammatory balance in autoimmune disease settings, and specifically in JIA patients.
The purpose of the study is to find out if AMG 357 is safe and tolerated by women with Rhematoid Arthritis.
Neutrophils emerge as key immune cells in the initiation and perpetuation of immune responses in autoimmune diseases. They display marked abnormalities in phenotype and function in various autoimmune diseases, including systemic vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These neutrophils are characterised by an extended life span, increased capacity to produce reactive oxygen species, active gene expression and release of extracellular traps. Consequently, there is a need for better understanding of neutrophil phenotype and functions in these conditions, as well as for identifying molecules capable of specifically manipulating neutrophil function. The investigators have recently discovered that interferon lambdas (IFN-λs), also known as interleukin 28 (IL28) and interleukin 29 (IL29), class II cytokines with previously studied anti-viral biological functions, specifically suppress neutrophil infiltration and interleukin-1β production and thereby, halt and reverse the development of collagen induced arthritis (CIA). The investigators propose to further investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind this suppression and examine the translational potential of the investigators' finding by examining the IFN-λ receptor expression and function in neutrophils isolated from the blood of healthy donors and rheumatic patients (early rheumatoid arthritis and vasculitis).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of genetic testing on healthcare decisions and patient outcomes for patients suffering from pain, cardiovascular problems, Arthritis, Type II Diabetes, and/or Mental Health disorders. Results of genetic testing will also be compared with the clinical outcome measures collected to discover novel genetic factors that may influence patient care.
The purpose of this non-interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of etanercept during routine clinical use over a maximum of 12 months in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis(PsA), axial spondyloarthritis(axSpA) or plaque psoriasis (PsO). In so doing, particular attention will be paid to the proportion of those patients who only attain the desired treatment goal after 12 weeks of treatment. The primary efficacy end point for the study is the proportion of patients who attain the desired treatment goal after 12 and 24 weeks,
The purpose of this study is to validate standardized questionnaires on depression for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to investigate the frequency of depression with RA. The study will include 2 parts, VADERA I and VADERA II. In VADERA I, 300 participants will be surveyed twice at an interval of 3 months regarding their current emotional condition using standardised questionnaires. On the basis of the results of VADERA I, in VADERA II, the selected questionnaire will be used to assess the prevalence of depression with RA in approximately 1000 participants.
Purpose and rationale: To define the role of IL-17 as a mediator of structural bone lesions in psoriasis patients and patients with PsA. Primary Objective is the improvement of the PsAMRIS synovitis score baseline vs. week 24. Drug tested is Secukinumab 300 mg administered weekly for 4 weeks, then 4 weekly s.c. with a duration total of 24 weeks. Indication for this study is Psoriasis (Pso) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
The purpose of this study is to assess the MTD, Pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of T0001 in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects 1 percent of the population worldwide and up to 40 percent of patients don't respond to current treatments. MBS2320, the drug being tested in this trial, represents a new approach to treating RA, with the potential not only to reduce levels of inflammation but to also directly inhibit bone damage.The aim of this study is to test the safety of MBS2320 in healthy volunteers, to find out how MBS2320 levels change in the blood with dose, and to test the safety and compatibility of giving MBS2320 to patients with RA in combination with an existing treatment, methotrexate.
