Filter by:Although cortisone is widely used in the treatment of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, the best dosage is not known. Therefore we will compare two standard prednisolon starting dosages and placebo in the treatment of patients with early active rheumatoid arthritis on the background of the established therapy with methotrexate. In total 450 patients will be included into the study. Two different treatment arms starting with 10 or 60 mg of prednisolone, and one placebo arm. Duration of intervention is 12 weeks. In parallel, all patients start medication with methotrexate, usual dosage 15 mg/week. Primary efficacy endpoint is progression of radiographic damage after one year compared to baseline. Safety monitoring is performed.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of three different Tregalizumab doses in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) in subjects who have active rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to MTX alone. The overall study duration is 24 weeks followed by a 24 week extension phase.
This multicenter, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneously administered RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate or other non-biologic DMARDs in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs or to one anti-TNF. In Phase 1, all patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra 162 mg subcutaneously (sc) weekly for Weeks 1 to 24, with or without methotrexate or other non-biologic DMARDs. For Part 2, patients who achieve sustained clinical DAS28-ESR remission at Weeks 20 and 24 will be randomized to receive RoActemra/Actemra 162 mg sc either weekly or every 2 weeks for Weeks 24 to 48, with or without methotrexate or other non-biologic DMARDs. Patients who do not achieve sustained clinical remission but achieve low disease activity (DAS-ESR </= 3.2) will continue the initial treatment of RoActemra/Actemra 162 mg sc weekly for Weeks 24 to 48, with or without methotrexate or other non-biologic DMARDs.
This study is in two stages: Stage 1 purpose is to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of multiple TAB08 doses in patients with active Rheumatoid Arthritis in which methotrexate (MTX) treatment is not enough effective. Stage 2 purpose is to assess efficacy parameters (ACR criteria) of at least one selected TAB08 dose in extended patient population with active Rheumatoid Arthritis in which methotrexate (MTX) treatment with at least 10 mg/week is not enough effective.
The purpose of this study is to provide 24 - 52 week efficacy, safety and tolerability data, and up to 3-year efficacy, safety and tolerability data in subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis despite current or previous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy and/or previous anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) therapy.
This study will test the clinical effectiveness and safety of two orally administered doses of apremilast compared to placebo in Japanese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis.
This open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra alone or concomitant with other antirheumatic drugs when administered as a single, weekly injection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
This multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase IIIb study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra alone or in combination with non-biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in rheumatoid arthritis patients with an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs

The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the functional outcome and patient satisfaction of total ankle replacement for tibio-talar osteoarthritis.
