Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the S.T.A.R. device for patients with bilateral disease.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare early functional outcomes in patients undergoing hip resurfacing and total hip arthroplasty with the M2a-Magnum™ using more objective measures of function.
This is a continuation trial of LymphoStat-B™ to evaluate the long-term safety in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis that completed study LBRA01 and benefitted from treatment.
During the run-in period, CZP will be administered at 400 mg (2 injections) at Wks 0, 2, and 4 and 200 mg with placebo (1 injection placebo, 1 injection CZP) at Wks 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16. At Wk 18 patients will be grouped as responders or non-responders based on results of the ACR20 at Week 16.
In Spain, there is little data available concerning the evolution and treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis by rheumatologists and dermatologists. This study is designed to obtain more data about the clinical and therapeutic management of Psoriatic Arthritis in Dermatology and Rheumatology Medical centers.
This study will be an open-label prospective analysis of oral prednisone (compared to IV methylprednisolone) as a pre-treatment for rituximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The study will be useful as pilot data to establish that there are no different trends between the two treatment strategies at decreasing the frequency and severity of acute infusion reactions. It would also establish proof of principle that pre-treatment with oral prednisone is equally as efficacious as IV methylprednisolone. The primary endpoint will be to assess the safety and tolerability of rituximab (Rituxan) in RA. By showing that there are no differences in the frequency or severity of acute infusion reactions after rituximab when using pre-treatment with oral prednisone compared to I.V. methylprednisolone, we will establish proof of principle that oral prednisone is a viable alternative to I.V. methylprednisolone. Pre-treatment with oral prednisone would be a practical advantage for both the patient and the treating physician. The patient could self-administer this treatment at home thereby decreasing the time they would need to spend at the infusion center. Further, this dose of prednisone has fewer side effects than 100mg of methylprednisolone.
The study has been designed as a 48-week, double-blind, randomized, controlled study comparing the use of leflunomide alone to combinations of leflunomide-sulfasalazine-HCQ, and methotrexate-sulfasalazine-HCQ.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of methotrexate and minocycline works better than methotrexate alone in early Rheumatoid Arthritis
The purpose of this prospective clinical data collection is to compare the outcomes of two different tibial bearings: the Maxim® Pop-Top® Tibia and Maxim® Modular Tibia.
The objective of this study is to gather clinical and survivorship information for the C2a-Taper™ Acetabular System, a ceramic-on-ceramic hip articulating system.
