Filter by:This multicenter, open-label, single arm, long-term extension study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have completed the 97-week WA22762 core study. Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra 162 mg subcutaneously weekly for 104 weeks.
This multicenter, open-label, single arm, long-term extension study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with early moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who completed the WA19926 core study. Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks for up to 104 weeks.
The objective of this study is to identify genetic predictors of individual methotrexate (MTX) response in patients with rheumatic diseases by determining genetic and metabolomic factors related to nutrient metabolism and drug transport. The development of better genetic predictors of individual MTX treatment response would provide invaluable prognostic information prior to initiating treatment, which would allow more appropriate choice of therapy, decreased adverse events, and more efficient dose-escalation of the drug, with ultimate benefits of improved effectiveness and tolerability rates in patients being treated with MTX for autoimmune diseases. Despite being the gold-standard therapy for rheumatoid arthritis and other types of chronic autoimmune diseases since 1951, MTX's efficacy and safety profile limit its use: MTX is discontinued in greater than 50% of patients secondary to inefficacy or poor tolerability. Upon initial treatment, discontinuation rates approach 12% because of drug toxicity, despite prophylactic measures such as the co-administration of folic acid. The causes of primary failure, secondary failure, and adverse events of MTX may be related to genetic variation of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and other genes involved in folate metabolism, one-carbon transfer, and drug transport. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic variations involved in methotrexate response so that we may better understand the pharmacodynamics of MTX metabolism in patients with rheumatic diseases.
A study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics of Rosuvastatin and Simvastatin when administered alone or in combination with Fostamatinib.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether aminopterin is effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Compare the efficacy of adding small doses of prednisolone (10 mg) daily to the efficacy of adding one of the available anti TNF in the treatment of methotrexate inadequate responder rheumatoid arthritis patient. Hypothesis: Methotrexate + Prednisolone vs. Methotrexate + anti TNF
This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to examine the efficacy of an educational decision support tool for patients with rheumatoid arthritis who continue to have active disease despite use of traditional disease modifying drugs. The study will take place at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA. Eligible subjects will be identified by the treating physician and those providing consent will be randomized to usual care versus use of the decision support tool.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether baricitinib 4 milligram (mg) once daily (QD) is superior to placebo in the treatment of participants with moderately to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who have had inadequate response to or are intolerant to at least 1 conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (cDMARD)(cDMARD-IR [inadequate response] participants) and who have not received a biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether baricitinib 4 milligram (mg) once daily is superior to placebo in the treatment of participants with moderately to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor, despite ongoing treatment with conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (cDMARDs).
The burden of chronic disease is continuing to rise. Even though patients may be in remission or have quiescent disease, several studies have confirmed that symptoms, such as e.g., fatigue, is troublesome. The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether or not there might be an association between levels of vitamin D and the subjective experience of fatigue in conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis and irritable bowel syndrome. Secondary aims is to study both the co-occurence and influence of pain, depression and anxiety.
