Filter by:Study to assess the safety profile of meloxicam by comparing incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events of meloxicam with that of NSAID in the routine daily therapeutic situation.
This study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple infusions of GS-5745 in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Participants will be randomized in a 4:1 ratio to receive 1 intravenous (IV) infusion of GS-5745 or placebo every 2 weeks, for a total of 3 IV infusions.
Randomized Controlled Study to determine if preservation of ligaments provides increased functional ability post-operatively in comparison to traditional TKA which sacrifices soft tissue.
Previous study found that lipid extract from hard-shelled mussel (HMLE) at a dose of 100mg/kg possessed strong anti-inflammatory activity by diminishing the hind paw swelling and arthritis index in rat model. In the present study, HMLE was processed to capsules under strict food safety supervision and patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA）were selected to examine whether supplementation with HMLE could improve clinical and laboratory parameters of disease activity. The validated disease activity score that include 28 joint counts and ESR (DAS28) and validated clinical disease activity index (CDAI) were primary outcome measure. Laboratory parameters including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α,PGE2 and COX-2 were also measured to explore the mechanisms.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single, ascending, intravenous (IV) doses of ASP2409 in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) on methotrexate (MTX) and to evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) of ASP2409.
This is a randomised, double-blind, parallel group, multicentre clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of SB5 compared to Humira® in subjects with moderate to severe RA despite MTX therapy.
This open-label extension of the JIGSAW studies (WA28117 [NCT01904279] and WA28118 [NCT01904292]) is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab treatment in participants with polyarticular-course and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA and sJIA). Participants from the 2 JIGSAW studies will continue to receive 162 milligrams (mg) of SC tocilizumab with treatment schedule according to arthritis subtype and body weight. Participants will receive the treatment until commercial availability of the drug or for a maximum of 5 years, whichever is earlier.
TWEAK (TNF weakly inducer of apoptosis) is a type II-transmembrane protein, member of the TNF ligand superfamily that can be cleaved to function as a soluble cytokine. Depending on target cell type, TWEAK triggers multiple cellular responses ranging from modulation of inflammation to cell death when it binds to its main receptor, Fn 14. Our team has been the first to describe pro-inflammatory effects of TWEAK during central nervous system inflammation. Various data support the possibility that TWEAK produced by synovial macrophages may contribute to chronic synovitis in animal models and in humans. In psoriatic arthritis (PsoA), anti-TNF therapy has been successful concording with the key role of TNF in the pathogenesis of this disease and the generation by psoriatic patients of neutralizing anti-TNF autoantibodies referred as "beneficial autoimmunity to pro-inflammatory mediators". In 2010, Van Kuijk et al. have described a high expression of TWEAK in the inflammatory synovial of PsoA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients before and after anti-TNF therapy. The role of TNF-alpha in the regulation of TWEAK expression remains unclear.
To examine the safety and effectiveness after Xeljanz treatment in rheumatoid arthritis patients
The study aims to investigate the effect a systematic telemedicine intervention, based on the tigth control principals, as a platform for disease monitoring among patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It is hypothesized that: - A systematic telemedicine intervention targeted to tight control of disease activity among patients with RA will be equally effective as usual care (outpatient consultation by a rheumatologist). - There will be no difference in the effect whether this telemedicine consultation is carried out by a rheumatologist or a rheumatology nurse. - Patient satisfaction and the patient's general perception of involvement in their treatment will be increased for patients who receive the telemedicine intervention. - All the effects will apply both in the short term (< 6 months) and in the long term (> 1 year).
