Filter by:Rheumatoid arthritis patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease because of systemic inflammation that can persist even in patients with well-controlled joint disease. We hypothesize that adding an anti-tumor necrosis factor medication, adalimumab, to standard non-biologic therapy for rheumatoid arthritis will improve endothelial function (reduce cardiovascular risk) in these patients. The design of the trial is as follows: 18 month prospective, randomized, double-blind crossover trial comparing the addition of adalimumab to the addition of placebo. The primary endpoint is a change in endothelial cell function, as detected by brachial artery FMD, at 6 months of adalimumab treatment compared to 6 months of placebo.
This observational study will evaluate the use and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in monotherapy in routine clinical practice in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the approved label will be followed for 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Iguratimod versus placebo on synovial inflammation,bone erosion and bone edema as measured by MRI of wrist and Metacarpophalangeal joints in patients with early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
This study was designed as a 3-year extension to the phase III core study CAIN457F2306. It aimed to provide continuous treatment with secukinumab in pre-filled syringes (PFS) for subjects who completed the core study CAIN457F2306, to obtain further long term efficacy, safety and tolerability information in subjects with active psoriatic arthritis receiving secukinumab every 4 weeks. At Week 104 of the study CAIN457F2306, eligible subjects completed the assessments associated with the core study visit and subsequently continued in this extension study on the same dose that they were receiving during the core study. The regular assessments of disease activity ensure that subjects who are experienced worsening of disease in any of the treatment groups could exit the study upon their own wish or based on the advice of the investigator at any time.

Participants suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis despite continued treatment with methotrexate were evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG0634 (3 different doses - 50 milligram [mg], 100 mg and 200 mg daily -, each evaluated as once daily [QD] and twice daily [BID] regimen) or matching placebo for 24 weeks. •During the course of the study, patients were also examined for any side effects that could occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG0634 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood (Pharmacodynamics) were determined. Also, the effects of different doses and dose regiments of GLPG0634 administration on participants' disability, fatigue, and quality of life were evaluated.
Autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) injected at 8 and 10 days after extraction is safe and useful procedure in inducing remission of RA in patients resistant to standard DMARD therapy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term safety and any side effects of baricitinib in participants who have completed a previous baricitinib rheumatoid arthritis study. The study provides 7 years of additional treatment with baricitinib.
Specific Aim: To compare early postoperative pain relief in patients over the age of 70 who undergo either Total Shoulder Arthroplasty or Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty in treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Hypothesis: Early postoperative pain relief will be greater in those undergoing Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty.
To examine the safety and efficacy of tofacitinib in subjects with active psoriatic arthritis who have previously had an inadequate response to at least one TNF inhibitor either due to lack of efficacy or an adverse event.
