Filter by:The study will be a multi-center, randomized, open label, parallel trial conducted in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with glucocorticoids. After signing the informed consent, all patients will be screened as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Estimated 314 eligible patients will be enrolled. The enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to either Eldecalcitol group or Alfacalcidol group in a 1:1 ratio and followed up for 12 months. On-site follow up visits will be conducted at Month 6 and 12 after enrollment. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Eldecalcitol in preventing glucocorticoid-induced bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different antibiotic regimens and techniques during total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Primary Objective: Comparable levels of vancomycin will be found in bone, soft tissue, and systemic samples between patient groups. Secondary Objective: Compare 30 day and 90 day post-operative complication rates (infection) between the control (standard IV administration of vancomycin) vs the interventional group (intraosseous administration of vancomycin). The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in complication (infection) rates between groups.
This project intends to explore and validate the utility of new MRI pulse sequence, 3D DL oZTEo, in the detection of osseous erosions of the hand in patients with inflammatory arthritis. The detection of osseous structural changes, such as erosive disease, is routinely assessed in patients with rheumatic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, as it alters clinical management, and in some cases assists in diagnosis. Currently, this is most often assessed with radiography and conventional MRI.
This study assesses the test-retest reliability, construct validity, and minimal detectable change of the Ankylosing Spondylitis Performance Index (ASPI) in assessing the physical function of patients with Enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA).
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of adding two questions and pictures to the validated PEST on the potential diagnosis of PsA in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO in Canada. Patients will be enrolled in the study for up to 66 days and will be asked to fill-out a PsA screening questionnaire at their first dermatologist visit. Patients screening positive for PsA will have a second visit with a rheumatologist where a full PsA diagnosis assessment will be performed. A remote 'end of study' (EOS) visit will be conducted by the dermatologist to document the patient's biologic Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (bDMARDs) treatment choice and status.
The investigator will evaluate the efficacy of M3©, an intervention for patients with JIA and their caregivers. Children with Juvenile arthritis and their parents will attend an 8 week online program called Making Mindfulness Matter (M3). This is a facilitator-led program that integrates knowledge and skills related to mindfulness, social-emotional learning, neuroscience, and positive psychology to promote coping and resiliency for children and families in context of the challenges of pediatric chronic disease. The child program is designed for children 4-12 years of age, with each lesson including a variety of concrete ways to teach children skills based on their age/developmental level.
Psoriasis is one of the most common immunemediated chronic inflammatory skin disorders.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Proximod in healthy subjects and patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The main questions it arms to answer are: 1. to evaluate the safety and tolerance of Proximod in health subjects after repeated doses. 2. to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Proximod in healthy subjects after repeated doses. 3. to evaluate the safety and tolerance of Proximod in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. 4. to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Proximod in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Participants will receive test tablets or placebo at the indicated date and collect blood samples.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Proximod in healthy subjects. The main questions it arms to answer are: 1. to evaluate the safety and tolerance of Proximod in healthy subjects after single or repeated doses. 2. to learn the pharmacodynamics of Proximod in healthy subjects after single or repeated doses. 3. to evaluation of the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of Proximod in healthy subjects Participants will receive test tablets or placebo at the indicated date and collect blood samples.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the use of turmeric (Curcumin) as a treatment for pain of thumb-joint arthritis. Turmeric is commonly being used as an over-the-counter treatment for musculoskeletal pain. Clinical trials have demonstrated a pain-relief benefit for knee osteoarthritis, however no clinical trial has been performed to establish efficacy of curcumin in humans for thumb-joint arthritis. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is Turmeric more effective than placebo at relieving pain for thumb-joint arthritis? A placebo is a look-alike substance that contains no active drug. - Is Turmeric more effective than placebo at improving patient-reported outcomes for CMC arthritis? - Is Turmeric safe for participants with thumb-joint arthritis? Participants will: - take 4 weeks of daily Turmeric capsules, - take 4 weeks of daily placebo capsules - answer daily surveys about how they are feeling and functioning.
