Filter by:The main objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of si-544. Other objectives are to study the metabolism of si-544 in the body and to assess the effects of si-544 on cells of the body's immune system (immune cells) that have been chronically activated by the disease. Likewise, the effect of si-544 on inflammatory responses in the body triggered by the disease and other disease symptoms will be investigated.
The management of rheumatoid arthritis is based on the prescription of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to induce clinical and biological remission. If the first line of treatment (methotrexate) fails, a biotherapy may be prescribed. In daily practice, the initiation of a targeted therapy must therefore be based on the prescriber's expertise or qualification in terms of his or her level of experience in the diagnosis and management of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. As the therapeutic arsenal has expanded, so has the question of choosing the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. At present, in daily practice, there is no tool to help clinicians predict treatment efficacy. The choice of biotherapy based on efficacy carries relatively little weight, firstly because this choice is made in relation to other biotherapies, and secondly because there are no superiority studies that have actually demonstrated greater efficacy in favor of one of the targeted therapies. In the age of Big Data, artificial intelligence can be used to develop algorithms for predicting treatment response. mYXpression has developed medical decision support software based on the integration of transcriptomic markers to assess the probability of response and/or non-response to biotherapies for each patient. The algorithm's performance was theoretically tested by retrospectively collecting transcriptomic data and clinical responses to 6 biotherapies from 992 patients included in 17 clinical trials or cohorts. The aim of this observational study is to demonstrate the value of PEAR 2.0 medical decision support software in the management of rheumatoid arthritis patients who are candidates for biotherapy.
This is a prospective multicenter study in southern Belgium to determine the prevalence and incidence of interstitial lung disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The aim of this project is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a virtual group based self-management program (SMP) in adolescents with JIA across different provinces compared to a wait-list control group receiving only standard of care. Participants in the SMP group will partake in four 60-90 minute group sessions conducted over 8 weeks. The intervention is a multifaceted program that includes JIA disease education, self-management strategies, and peer support. Both the interventional and control group will be asked to complete baseline and post-test measures. Participants in the control group will be offered the SMP after completion of the post-control outcome measures.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of home-based exercise program versus personalized IVR exergame (Fit-XR) program on physical fitness, functional capacity and physical activity in adolescents with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Patients followed up by four tertiary pediatric rheumatology centers will be included in the project. Two different exercise programs will be applied to the patients by experienced physiotherapists. Fit-XR program will be 25-30 minutes a day and will be applied 2 days a week for 8 weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist in the clinic. The total points obtained by the participants during the FiT-XR games will be recorded after each training session. In the second group, a personalized multicomponent (balance, strength, agility, endurance) home- based exercise program will be applied according to the physical fitness level of the children.
A randomised, double blind, parallel group, multicentre study to compare the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity and safety of Rituximab (Mabscale LLC, Russia) versus MabThera® in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The primary working hypothesis of this study is whether KeriFlex® metacarpophalangeal joint prostheses provide an equivalent result to Swanson finger joint implants in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Functional status will be measured by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire no earlier than 1 year after surgery.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic progressive autoimmune disease with predominantly joint involvement. To compare the efficacy and difference between elamod and tofacitib in the treatment of rheumatoid factor-positive and negative rheumatoid arthritis in RA patients with poor outcome after csDMARDs dosing, in order to better inform the clinical management.
This is a randomised, double-blind, single dose, parallel groups study to compare the PK, immunogenicity, and safety of 3 abatacept products (DRL_AB, RP and RMP) in male NHV.
Psoriatic arthritis and gout (linked to hyperuricemia) are two rheumatisms well known to rheumatologists. There are epidemiological and physiopathological arguments in favor of a non-fortuitous link between these two rheumatisms, which to date has not been established. There is currently no recommendation to treat hyperuricaemia without an episode of gout attack. We hypothesize that there is a link between hyperuricemia and severity of rheumatism. This would ultimately modify the therapeutic management of hyperuricemic patients followed for psoriatic arthritis.
