Pharmacokinetics (PK) study
This study will compare the clinical outcomes for patients undergoing a total knee replacement using a bipolar sealer, the Aquamantys® System, as compared to standard electrocautery. Total blood loss during the hospital stay and knee mobility and discharge factors will be analyzed.
This was a single-arm, multicenter, open label, prospective cohort study (post-marketing observational study) to determine the effectiveness and safety of adalimumab in combination with high-dose methotrexate (≥12 mg/week) in participants with rheumatoid arthritis in a routine clinical setting in Japan.
This multicenter, open-label, single arm, long-term extension study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have completed the 97-week WA22762 core study. Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra 162 mg subcutaneously weekly for 104 weeks.
PART1 Participants in Part 1 (Run-in-Phase) of study will receive tocilizumab (TCZ) (RoActemra/Actemra) 12 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) or 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 2 weeks (Q2W) for up to 24 weeks. Participants who experience a laboratory abnormality during Part 1 may be eligible to move into Part 2 of the study. PART 2 This open-label Phase IV study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of tocilizumab in reduced dose frequency in participants with adequately controlled systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis who have experienced a laboratory abnormality on twice weekly tocilizumab dosing, that has since resolved. Participants will receive tocilizumab 12 mg/kg or 8 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks. After 5 consecutive infusions, participants who experience an event of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia or liver enzyme abnormality will move to every 4 weeks tocilizumab administration. Anticipated time on study treatment is 52 weeks.
Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) with a high incidence and high morbidity, the pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. Fibroblast-like synovial cells excessive proliferation and synovial angiogenesis is the most important cause of RA synovitis and joint destruction. Our study was to find the role of Sonic Hedgehog(SHH) pathway in regulating proliferation of fibroblast-like synovial cells and modulating excess angiogenesis of synovial tissue.
This multicenter, open-label, single arm, long-term extension study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with early moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who completed the WA19926 core study. Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks for up to 104 weeks.
This long-term, open-label extension study will evaluate the safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with polyarticular-course juvenile idiopathic arthritis who completed the WA19977 core study. Patients aged 9-18 years with at least JIA ACR30 clinical response to RoActemra/Actemra in the core study will be eligible to receive RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks. Anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks.
Individuals with serious mental illnesses (SMI) face high rates of medical comorbidity as well as challenges in managing these conditions. A growing workforce of certified peer specialists is available to help these individuals more effectively manage their health and health care. However, there is little existing research examining the effectiveness of peer-led medical self-management programs for this population. in this trial, participants were randomized to either the Health and Recovery Peer program (HARP), a medical disease self-management program led by certified peer specialists, or to care as usual. Assessments were conducted at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.
