Filter by:This study is conducted to evaluate the short (12 Weeks) and long term (104 Weeks) efficacy of Certolizumab Pegol compared with Adalimumab both in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) that is not responding adequately to MTX.
Premature Endothelial Dysfunction is present in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis.
Hypothesis - Behcet's disease is a multisystemic chronic relapsing inflammatory disease, classified among the vasculitides. The clinical manifestations include mucocutaneous lesions, articular, ocular, vascular, gastrointestinal and/or central nervous system involvement. The aetiology of Behcet's disease is unknown, however. Experimental evidence suggests that TNF-α may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. To date, case reports and small open-short term studies report the efficacy of anti-TNFα therapy (Infliximab and Etanercept), especially regarding ocular and mucocutaneous involvement in Behcet. There are no double blind long term studies on larger number of patients regarding the efficacy of anti-TNFα, especially Humira in healing arthritis +/- other manifestations of the disease.
This is an international (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and the Netherlands) trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of active conventional therapy (ACT) and three biologic treatments in subjects with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The global aim of this study is to assess and compare 1. the proportion of subjects who achieve remission with ACT versus three different biologic therapies (Certolizumab-pegol, Abatacept or Tocilizumab) 2. two alternative de-escalation strategies in patients who respond to first-line therapy.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, efficacy and dose response of BMS-945429 in subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis and an inadequate response to Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and non-biologic Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a high and low intensity strength training programs vs. a control group on knee pain and compressive joint forces.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of Cimzia given as an add-on to your current therapy with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug(s) (DMARDs)including MTX or given as monotherapy (alone) over an 18 month period. Approximately 125 patients with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who are being prescribed Cimzia will be enrolled into the study.
The purpose of study is to explore the effect of CP-690,550 (Tofacitinib) on measures of kidney function in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
This observational study will evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab in participants of the ACT SURE clinical trial and further patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis starting or receiving RoActemra/Actemra. Data will be collected from each patient for up to 4 years.
Resistance exercise plus vascular occlusion may induce greater improvements in strength and muscle mass resistance training alone. The investigators speculate this training strategy could be beneficial in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
