Filter by:This study consist of treatment phase (12 weeks) and extension phase (40 weeks). This study is a multicenter, open-label, uncontrolled, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to evaluate mainly the safety and tolerability of 12-week repeated subcutaneous administration of E6011 in Japanese subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis. First 12 subjects will enroll as 100 mg group, next 12 subjects will enroll as 200 mg group, and last 9 subjects will enroll as 400 mg group. A total of 33 subjects will receive repeated subcutaneous administration of E6011. Subjects who roll over onto the Extension phase will have continued monitoring until 52 weeks after the initial administration.
Objectives: To assess immunogenicity and safety of the 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPV23) in JIA patients with and without anti-TNF therapy. The influences of demographic data, disease activity and treatment on immune response and the potential deleterious effect of vaccine on disease itself were also evaluated. Methods: 17 JIA patients immediately pre-etanercept (Group 1) and 10 JIA patients on stable dose of methotrexate (Group 2) will receive one dose of PPV23. All patients will be evaluated pre-vaccination, 2 months and 12 months post-vaccination for seven pneumoccocal serotypes. Serology will be performed by enzyme immunoassay and the immunogenicity endpoints will include seroprotection (SP), seroconversion (SP) and geometric mean concentration of antibodies (GMC). Clinical and laboratorial parameters of JIA will be evaluated before and after vaccination.
We believe, that the results of this study will show that children learn from the comic book about their disease, and are now more aware and less frightened about it, and increase their compliance.
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic, inflammatory disease. The chronic inflammation in PsA predisposes patients to the metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is associated with systemic inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines. Clinical observations and experimental results argue for an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant property of MET.
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a particular pattern of inflammatory arthritis often seen in association with psoriasis. PsA patients have a higher prevalence of comorbidities including obesity, metabolic syndrome, depression and premature cardiovascular disease. There is evidence that obesity is associated with PsA. A 12 month study was conducted to determine whether exercise and dietary weight loss are more efficacious, either separately or in combination, than standard care alone in improving symptoms and signs in obese adults with PsA. Fifty-five obese PsA patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥30, were recruited. Patients were randomized into usual lifestyle (controls), diet only, exercise only, and diet plus exercise groups for 12 months. Disease activity was assessed. Blood samples collected after 12 hours overnight fasting were analysed for glucose, lipid profile, ESR, hsCRP, proinflammatory cytokines; tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-17 (IL-17). The primary outcome measures included improvement in ACR20. Secondary endpoints included reduction in PASI score, DAS28-CRP response and physician and patient global assessment (PGA). Safety and tolerability were also assessed. Data was collected at baseline and every 6 months.

To assess the efficacy of tofacitinib monotherapy or tofacitinib with methotrexate as compared to adalimumab with methotrexate. To compare the efficacy of tofacitinib monotherapy compared to tofacitinib combined with methotrexate. To compare effects on all health outcomes measures in the study. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tofacitinib and adalimumab. To evaluate the safety of the zoster vaccine given prior to the initiation of tofacitinb or adalimumab.
The goal of this retrospective chart review is to evaluate if the implementation of lumbar plexus block placement for postoperative pain and administration of multimodal oral analgesia have improved conditions in the postoperative period for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty when compared to the placement of epidurals for postoperative pain management.
Study to determine the safety and efficacy of Mobic® ampoules in the initiation of treatment of painful exacerbations of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other similar painful inflammatory conditions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravenously (administration of a fluid into the vein) administered golimumab 2 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) in participants with active psoriatic arthritis (a chronic inflammatory arthritis that is associated with psoriasis).
