Filter by:Elevated CVD risk is a significant public health problem that contributes greatly to the increased morbidity and shortened lifespan of individuals with RA and PsA. Over the past decades, there has been great progress into the understanding of the severity of CVD risk in these patients but these risk factors are not well managed. The development of the high-risk strategy is therefore necessary, with more intensive therapy reserved for patients identified as high-risk, e.g. because they have high-risk FRS. However, these risk scores under-estimated CV risk in patients with RA and PsA. An intermediate approach is to use quantification of preclinical vascular disease to further identify high-risk patients. Results from this study will provide clinical implications in terms of detecting and managing cardiovascular morbidity in patients with RA and PsA.
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing synthetic cartilage implantation versus osteochondral autograft transfer for treatment of first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) arthritis. This data will allow for accurate comparisons between the two groups in regards to functional outcome, clinical outcome, pain relief, and complications.
The aim of this study is to explore whether the effectiveness of home-based disease activity monitoring via a home-based (eHealth) intervention is superior to standard clinical disease activity assessment in obtaining and maintaining a low(er) disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
A prospective, open-label, single center, study to evaluate pharmacokinetics and dosimetry of intravenously injected Tc 99m tilmanocept at three mass doses (50 µg, 200 µg, and 400 µg) radiolabeled with 10 millicuries (mCi) Tc 99m.
Primary objective: To determine the changes in circadian activity rhythms and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients from pre-treatment to one month after Enbrel initiation. Secondary objectives: - To determine if there is an association between changes in circadian rhythm and changes in disease activity in active RA after initiation of Enbrel - To determine if the changes in circadian activity rhythms are associated with systemic inflammation in RA patients - To determine changes in traditional sleep quality variables from pre-treatment to one month after Enbrel initiation in RA patients
Patients who participated in the FUNCTION Study (Protocol WA19926) will be enrolled in this study. The investigators want to learn how long it takes Early Rheumatoid Arthritis patients who were treated with Tocilizumab to require treatment with another biologic medication.
As tranexamic acid (TXA) becomes more prevalent, all patients are receiving the same dose regardless of their pre-operative risk of transfusion. Therefore the aim of the study is to determine whether or not repeated dosing of oral TXA reduces the post-operative reduction in hemoglobin, hematocrit, number of transfusions, and post-operative blood loss following primary TKA and THA surgeries in patients with low pre-operative hematocrit and high risk for transfusion. The investigators hypothesize that a multi-dose TXA regimen will significantly minimize post-operative blood loss and transfusion requirements compared to the use of a single dose regime.
In this Post Market Clinical Follow-up Study (PMCF Study), the short-term clinical and radiological results of the cementless Excia T® prosthesis in routine clinical use shall be assessed and the migration taking place in the first 24 months evaluated.
Phase 2 Study Evaluating Gerilimzumab's Safety/Efficacy for Patients with an Inadequate Response to MTX or a TNFα Antagonist in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Prospective, post-marketing, multi-center, open-label study to explore if the initiation of adalimumab could influence grey-scale (GS) and power Doppler (PD) ultrasonographic (US) score using 36-joint plus 4-tendon scoring system, and validate the applicability of different simplified US joint scoring systems.
