Filter by:This study is a documentation of effectiveness and safety of Humira in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether tight control of patients with newly diagnosed psoriatic arthritis (consisting of regular 4 weekly objective assessment of disease activity and protocol-led intensive treatment) can improve outcome as opposed to standard care (usually 3 monthly reviews with no objective outcome measures and no protocol for treatment). The principle hypothesis of this study is that tight control of inflammation in psoriatic arthritis using a treatment protocol and pre-defined objective targets for treatment will lead to an improvement in patients' disease activity and a reduction in radiological joint damage.
The aim of this post-marketing observational study is to obtain further data on the evaluation of quality of life outcomes of HUMIRA® in routine clinical use in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) or Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) after unsustainable clinical response to disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and or biological disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (BDMARD). Treatment strategies in moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and in severe active ankylosing spondylitis commonly consist of introducing biologics after conventional disease modifying antirheumatic drugs or non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs fail. Although biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs are generally well-tolerated, intolerances may develop or efficacy may diminish, at which time another biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drug might be considered. This study shall evaluate the quality of life outcomes of HUMIRA®, given after conventional disease modifying antirheumatic drugs and or non antiinflammatory drug failures and or after biological disease modifying antirheumatic drug failures . Failure in this context means primary or secondary loss of efficacy or intolerance to the initial agent.
Patients who take Humira as prescribed by physicians as per Korean label will be enrolled and observed in normal medical practice setting for not less than 3 months following first dose of Humira. Information on demographics, diagnosis and medical history, results of tuberculosis skin test, results of chest X-ray, Humira treatment information, concomitant medication, physician's global assessment for effectiveness, disease activity assessment for rheumatoid arthritis, disease activity assessment for Crohn's Disease, disease activity assessment for Psoriasis and adverse events will be recorded on case report forms.
This is a five year, post-marketing observational study to follow-up patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis who are treated with HUMIRA (adalimumab).
We aim to translate these findings into patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions treated with anti-TNF (anti-tumor necrosis factor) therapy, such as psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Patients from rheumatology clinics within NHS (National Health Service) trusts will be recruited. We will correlate disease activity assessed by clinical parameters, ultrasonography, and questionnaires with biomarkers in the blood and target tissues, such as synovium and skin.
Based on published data and according to the approved product label for ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis, it can be expected that adalimumab 40 mg every 14 days should be effective in psoriatic arthritic patients with axial involvement.
To demonstrate the relative bioavailability, parallel study Of Leflunomide 20 mg tablets under fasting conditions.
The aim of this study is to examine the associations between inflammatory disease activity and endothelial function in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis patients treated with methotrexate and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFalpha)inhibitor in combination or methotrexate or TNFalpha-inhibitor alone. Further, to look for improvement in endothelial function, and decrease in bone and cartilage destruction during treatment with the combination therapy of TNFalpha-inhibitor and methotrexate in RA and Psoriatic Arthritis (PSA) patients. Last, examine the TNFalpha inhibitors influence on endothelial function and levels of bone and cartilage markers in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
This is an epidemiological non-interventional study assessing the prevalence of anxiety and/or depression disorders in patients suffering from Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) in Spain.
