Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 48 weeks subcutaneous (SC) dosing with LY2127399 for participants who have participated in a prior LY2127399 clinical study. At the end of the 48-week treatment period, participants will participate in a 24-week follow-up period. Additional follow up after Week 72 may continue to assess B-cell recovery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of LY2439821 in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of LY2127399 (tabalumab) in Japanese participants with RA. The study consists of a 20-week treatment period. All participants will be followed for up to 12 weeks after the last study drug administration.
This randomized, open-label, parallel-group study will assess the effect on disease remission of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in combination with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) versus current best practice non-biologic DMARD therapy in patients with moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients who are randomly assigned to the RoActemra/Actemra treatment group will receive 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra intravenously every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of apremilast with a placebo (an inactive substance that looks like apremilast) on you and other people with rheumatoid arthritis. The investigators will be collecting information in this study to help us determine - - the safety of apremilast in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis - how long it takes for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis to respond to apremilast - how long the effects of apremilast last after the treatment has ended.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of golimumab in Chinese patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence rates of infection, malignancy and death among patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are treated with abatacept and those who are treated with other anti-rheumatic medications for rheumatoid arthritis.
To measure the CRE by a work capacity index obtained in a submaximal testing (W65%/kg) in early RA patients treated with tocilizumab compared to Methotrexate alone. The secondary endpoints : analyze the clinical efficacy of Tocilizumab in this population and correlate the CRE response with other marker (CRP, Hb, DAS, HAQ) and evaluate the safety profile of Tocilizumab.
This open-label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on background non-biologic DMARDs who have an inadequate response to current non-biologic DMARDs. Patients will receive 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra as an intravenous infusion every 24 weeks for a total of 6 infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.
Patient with undifferentiated arthritis and the presence of anti-citruline (anti-CCP) antibodies are at high risk to develop RA. The presence of anti-CCP is associated with a higher rate of erosion and a higher risk of progressive and severe RA. The investigators have demonstrated in the CIERA study that MTX/IFX combination therapy is superior to MTX alone to reduce MRI signs of synovitis and bone edema and is clinically more effective. The immunopathogenesis of undifferentiated arthritis is poorly understood. However, synovial studies from patients with early arthritis suggest that UA and RA may share common immunopathogenic mechanisms. One biopsy study of asymptomatic joints in patients with early arthritis demonstrates synovitis in more than half of the joints samples with prominent T cell and macrophage infiltration, similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Thus intensive treatment with anti-TNF antibodies (infliximab) may have an impact on multiple immune mechanisms driving synovitis in undifferentiated arthritis and may influence the clinical outcome. Recently, Methotrexate has been demonstrated to improve the course of undifferentiated arthritis and prevent the development of RA. Short regimen of more intensive therapy with Infliximab could alter the radiological, immunopathological and clinical outcome.
