Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess whether the use of a commercially available nutraceutical, turmeric, is an effective option to manage pain and stiffness in patients with basal joint arthritis. To conduct a pilot Randomized Controlled Trial evaluating the impact of turmeric on basal joint arthritis.
The objectives of this single center, prospective, non-interventional inception cohort is to understand patient characteristics, general treatment patterns, effectiveness, and safety of Tofacitinib for rheumatoid arthritis patients in the real-world setting. 1. To evaluate the baseline characteristics of Korean RA patients treated with Tofacitinib 2. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Tofacitinib in clinical practice in Korean RA patients. 3. To further evaluate safety, effectiveness and demographic characteristics of the patients treated with Tofacitinib matched with and compared to biologic DMARDs from the BIOPSY registry database.
This study will integrate Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacometrics, to explore an effective concentration of MTXPGn for JIA pediatric patients, and set up a Population Pharmacokinetics model to provide reference for individual administration on JIA pediatric patients.
Primary Objective: To describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of sarilumab in patients aged 1-17 years with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA) in order to identify the dose and regimen for adequate treatment of this population. Secondary Objective: To describe the pharmacodynamics (PD) profile, the efficacy, and the long term safety of sarilumab in patients with sJIA.
During exercise, energy comes mainly from carbohydrates and lipids. The relative contribution of lipids and glucose as energy substrates to exercise depends on the parameters of the exercise (duration, intensity and level of training) and the physiological conditions of the subject. Inflammatory diseases such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are treated, for the most severe forms, by biotherapies. These treatments target certain pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNFα. In adults with rheumatoid arthritis several studies have shown that treatment with anti-TNFα increases insulin sensitivity. There is no data on the oxidation of energy substrates during exercise in children and adolescents with AJI, nor on the impact of anti-TNFα treatments on the oxidation of energetic substrates in children. Investigators hypothesize that, compared to healthy children, children with JIA should exhibit altered oxidation of energy substrates at rest and submaximal physical exercise due to physical deconditioning and inflammation. In addition, those treated with anti-TNFα should have an oxidation profile of energy substrates at exercise different from that of patients not treated with anti-TNFα. Investigators also hypothesize that anti-TNFα treatments modify the contribution of energy chains (aerobic, anaerobic and anaerobic alactic) during the exercise.
Psoriatic arthritis(PsA) and psoriasis(Ps) are two systemic inflammatory diseases linked with rash of psoriasis, but there's still great controversy regarding the exact relationship between them. Our study is to investigate the characteristics and differences of the ultrasonic imaging of enthesopathy in the lower extremity in patients with PsA and Ps, to explore the risk factors of Ps developing into PsA in the long term course.
To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of the Test product - Methotrexate Tablets USP, 2.5 mg of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, compared to that of the corresponding Reference product - Methotrexate Tablets USP 2.5 mg manufactured for DAVA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in patients with mild to severe psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis, who are already on established regimens of 2.5 mg every 12 hours for three doses per week under fasting conditions, and to assess their bioequivalence.
RA is the most common inflammatory, persistent and progressive disease of the joints with serious co-morbidities and huge health and socio-economic impact worldwide.
To investigate whether a transient discontinuation of methotrexate MTX for 2 weeks improves the vaccination response to a seasonal influenza.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Juanbi Pill combined with methotrexate are effective in the treatment of active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
