Filter by:The purpose of this dose range finding study is to assess the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of JNJ-38518168 at doses of 3, 10, and 30 mg/d compared with placebo in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite concomitant methotrexate (MTX) therapy.
Objectives: The aims of the present study were to compare ultrasound on asymptomatic feet of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and normal controls, determine the association between ultrasound and global disease activity, function and goniometric measures in patients with RA and determine the correlation between ultrasound and radiography in the detection of bone erosion. Methods: The foot joints (talocrural, talocalcaneal, talonavicular, naviculocuneiform, calcaneocuboid, 5th tarsometatarsal and 1st to 5th metatarsophalangeal [MTP] joints) of 50 healthy subjects and 50 patients with RA (all with asymptomatic feet) were evaluated bilaterally regarding quantitative/semi-quantitative synovitis, semi-quantitative Power Doppler (PD) signals and erosion using ultrasound. Statistical significance was set to 5%.
This two-part open-label, multi-arm, non-comparative study will collect long-term safety, efficacy and tolerability data from patients who were responsive to canakinumab from study CACZ885G2301E1 (Cohort 1), and from patients who are treatment naïve to canakinumab (Cohort 2). In addition, the effect of inactivated vaccines in an SJIA patient population will be assessed for the development of adequate (protective) antibody levels following immunization according to respective local vaccination guidelines. Study Part I: All patients will be treated with canakinumab 4 mg/kg every 4 weeks (or 2 mg/kg every 4 weeks for Cohort 1 patients who are receiving that dose in CACZ885G2301E1) until study end unless discontinuation occurs, or until they qualify for Part II of the study. Study Part II: Patients who are eligible will be randomized to receive canakinumab at a reduced dose or prolonged dose interval (see requirements for dose reduction/dose interval prolongation below). Patients in Cohort 1 receiving 2 mg/kg q4wk in CACZ885G2301E1 will not be randomized but will be part of the treatment arm canakinumab dose reduction if they are eligible.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the serum concentration of tabalumab after the administration using either prefilled syringe or auto-injector after the initial loading dose and after 12 weeks of treatment. Treatment period is followed by 40 weeks optional safety extension.
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 will continue to receive RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks. Anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks.
This multi-center observational study will evaluate the use of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the local label will be followed for 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether TissueGene-C, an allogeneic human chondrocytes expressing Transforming Growth Factor(TGF)-b1, is effective and safe in patients with degenerative arthritis
This non-interventional study will evaluate the use and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the approved label will be followed for 6 months.
This multi-center observational study will evaluate the use and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the licensed label will be followed for 6 months.
This multicenter observational study will evaluate the use of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in monotherapy in patients with active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis unable to use methotrexate. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment will be followed for 6 months.
