This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with active systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) who have an inadequate clinical response to NSAIDs and corticosteroids. In Part I of the study patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive iv infusions of RoActemra/Actemra (8mg/kg iv for patients >=30kg, or 12mg/kg for patients <30kg) or placebo, every 2 weeks. Stable NSAIDs and methotrexate will be continued throughout. After 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, all patients will have the option to enter Part II of the study to receive open-label treatment with RoActemra/Actemra for a further 92 weeks, followed by a 3-year continuation of the study in Part III in which, for patients who meet specific criteria, an optional alternative dosing schedule decreasing the study drug administration frequency will be introduced. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 5 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pars plana vitrectomy in combination with triamcinolone acetate is effective in the treatment of macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion.
The study hypothesizes that rate of thromboembolic complications of the On-X prosthesis is reduced as compared to the SJM prosthesis.
The aim of the study is to improve hospital treatment and rehabilitation of patients with hip arthroplasty to help the patients to regain functional ability in the shortest possible time, and reduce hospital and rehabilitation time to save costs for the patient and society. Optimal reconstruction of the hip joint and the effect of an intensive physical training programme are compared to conventional rehabilitation programmes.
The registry will obtain information to determine the safety of sports participation for patients with defibrillators (ICDs).
The purpose of the study is to determine if ipilimumab is effective in preventing or delaying recurrence and prolongs survival after complete resection of high risk stage III melanoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of parecoxib/valdecoxib therapy and placebo/valdecoxib therapy for the treatment of pain after coronary artery bypass surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT)is more effective in the treatment of traumatized youth than treatment as usual(TAU).
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a treatment for painful osteoporotic compression fractures. Multiple reports have shown as high as 20 % refracturerates in vertebrae adjacent to those that have been treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty. The purpose of the study is to determine if prophylactic vertebroplasty of unfractured vertebrae adjacent to the treated fractured vertebrae can reduce the rates of refracture in adjacent vertebrae.
The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in intraocular pressure measured continuously during isometric exercise.
