Filter by:The purpose of this study is to obtain blood samples from up to 14 participants who previously received namilumab in the previous study M1-1188-002-EM (PRIORA, [NCT01317797]) to correlate genetic markers with clinical outcomes.
The overall objective is to determine whether High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has potential to improve disease activity scores for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients. By reducing inflammation and modifying immune function HIIT may offer a substantial paradigm shift in RA care, especially in older persons with RA who experience aging related-immunesenescence, increased systemic inflammation and greater physical inactivity than young persons. Prior to embarking on a large scale trial of HIIT-induced disease modification, this pilot study aims to demonstrate that HIIT can produce measurable responses in disease activity scores and peak VO2in persons undergoing routine pharmacologic treatment for RA.
This study will be an open label observational prospective study assessing the clinical efficacy of antiTNFα therapy and the alteration/impact on the synovial tissue, with specific regard to lymphoid aggregation, over a period of 12 months in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most important chronic inflammatory disorders in the UK. It affects approximately 1% of adults and causes considerable morbidity, substantially reduces quality of life and has a significant mortality. It results in large direct medical costs as well as extensive indirect social costs. Despite the significant therapeutic progress following the introduction of antiTNFα, a cure for RA is still elusive. At present the reasons for the variation in clinical response are not known. The main aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that there are distinct molecular and cellular phenotypes present within the synovial tissue that define specific disease subsets and provide characteristic prognostic implications. In particular, the aim is to assess the relationship between the presence of ectopic lymphoneogenesis (ELN) within the rheumatoid synovial membrane and response to antiTNFα therapy.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic inflammatory joint disease in adults and is characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints leading to their destruction, resulting in a major loss of function. The investigators propose a pilot study for studying changes in bone microarchitecture with High Resolution peripheral micro Computerized Tomography (HR-pQCT) in patients with RA treated with anti-TNF(Tumor Necrosis Factor), with the measurement of micro-architectural parameters in subchondral area near an inflammatory joint during the first 12 months of initiation of an anti-TNF therapy (Infliximab®, Etanercept®, Adalimumab®).
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that affects ~1% of the population. A large proportion of patients with established disease have persistent high disease activity in spite of existing effective pharmacological treatment. Improved treatment is thus urgently needed, including alternative treatments in addition to optimal pharmacological therapy. The main purpose of this study is to investigate if a high intake of blue mussel (Mytilus Edulis) could decrease inflammation and disease activity in patients with established RA. A secondary goal is to identify novel biomarkers for blue mussel intake and metabolic responses to this diet, using a metabolomics approach with high sensitivity and specificity. A third goal is to look at genetic polymorphisms in relation to long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) and inflammatory markers.
This is a phase IV, open-label and single-arm study of patients with non-malignant pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, low back pain and joint/muscle pain, who were not responding to non-opioid analgesics. The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of buprenorphine transdermal patch for pain control among these patients.
This was a multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) Phase II study designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of ALX-0061 (i.e., vobarilizumab) administered subcutaneously (s.c.) in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who had completed the treatment and assessment period of one of the preceding Phase IIb studies with ALX-0061 (ALX0061-C201 and ALX0061-C202; placebo and ALX-0061 treatment arms only), and who achieved at least 20% improvement in swollen joint count (SJC) and/or tender joint count (TJC) (66/68 counts) compared to Baseline at the final visit of the preceding study (i.e., Week 24 for Study ALX0061-C201 and Week 12 for Study ALX0061-C202).
The study objective is to identify potential safety risks of the transition from US-licensed Rituxan® or EU-approved MabThera® to GP2013 (proposed biosimilar product) as compared to continuous treatment with the originator product in terms of general safety and immunogenicity.
This is a Phase I, first-in-human (FIH), randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose sequential group study in healthy male subjects. The objectives are to study the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and effects on glucose homeostasis (pharmacodynamics) of AZD9567, an oral differentiated non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM). The study will also assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of prednisolone 60 mg in comparison with high doses of AZD9567 and placebo.
This multicenter prospective observational study will evaluate the quality of life in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are initiated with rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan). Participants will be followed for 6 months from initiation of treatment.
