Filter by:Study to determine the efficacy (including American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response rate), safety, and pharmacokinetics of BIRB 796 BS as monotherapy in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have failed at least one disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)
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
This is an observer-blinded prospective randomized clinical trial to define the efficacy of a new technology developed at the Cleveland Clinic to improve the positioning of the acetabular shell in total hip arthroplasty.The proposed study will enroll patients that have consented to total hip arthroplasty with or without screw fixation for treatment of hip pathology. This treatment is standard of care. Patients will receive standard of care pre- and post-operative care and placement of standard of care implants all of which are commercially available and FDA approved for general use for the clinical indications used in these patients. The only difference in treatment between the groups will be the use of a surrogate bone model to help assist the surgeon visualize the ideal placement of the acetabular component. Diagnostic testing performed specifically related to this study consists of obtaining one pre-operative and one post-operative CT scan. The post-operative scan is to be performed within two weeks of surgery. The investigators predict that those patients with 3D imaging and bone model will have better acetabular shell placement than those with standard preoperative planning.
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).
This is a Post-Marketing Surveillance of GMK Sphere knee prosthesis.
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.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic inflammatory arthritis in adults. Monitoring of disease activity is based on Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS 28). There are also validated questionnaires for self-assessment of the disease by the patient. Grip strength measured using a digitized sensor used by the patient could be an additional tool to the remote monitoring of patients with RA. Main Objective : To evaluate the correlation between the measurement of grip strength in the dominant hand measured by a digital sensor and activity of RA assessed by DAS 28 Secondary objective : Evaluate the correlation between grip strength of the dominant hand and : - scores of fatigue and pain (VAS and FACIT) - the self-assessment scores known in RA : functional index Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and scores of activity RAPID3 and RADAI5. It is a cross-sectional study involving 150 patients followed in our department for RA. Grip strength of the dominant hand will be measured by a digitalized sensor during a single visit integrating into the routine monitoring of patients.
This is a multi-centre, prospective post marketing surveillance study to assess mid-term performance of the Mpact cup in subjects requiring primary total hip arthroplasty.
