Filter by:This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to describe the safety and tolerability of single intravenous (i.v.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) doses of NNC0215-0384 in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on background methotrexate (MTX) treatment.
This open label, single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra at a dose of 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks for 24 weeks (6 infusions).
The purpose is to study the relationship between RA disease activity based on Doppler quantification and the subsequent clinical response (EULAR response) to treatment with Adalimumab during 12 months. The purpose is also to compare the Doppler quantification with conventional clinical methods and semiquantitative Doppler assessment.
biological DMARDs may be stopped in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients treated with a combination of synthetic DMARD plus bDMARDs which are in persistent clinical remission. The research question of this study is, whether musculoskeletal sonography is a useful biomarker predicting a disease flare after cessation of bDMARD therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The combined therapy contained paeoniflorin (Brand name: Pafulin), which has anti-inflammation properties, and Cervus and Cucumis polypeptide injection (Brand name: Songmeile), which has bone healing, pain relieving, and anti-inflammation properties. The hypothesis is that this remedy, which has long been used by the world's largest RA community, is effective and safe when tested by modern clinical standards and criteria.
People with rheumatic disease often have decreased strength, muscle mass, and bone mineral density due to repeated bouts of inflammation, normal effects of aging, disuse, and inactivity. The medications used to quell the disease process, such as prednisone, can also have detrimental effects on body composition, strength, and functional capacity. The investigators propose to investigate the feasibility, safety, and effects of resistance exercise in older patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and vasculitis. The unique resistance protocol the investigators propose involves performing movements in a slow and controlled fashion (i.e., no acceleration or use of momentum in the lifting and lowering of the resistance) to minimize force on the joints and connective tissues. This will be conducted in an individually-supervised environment with a new generation of exercise equipment that will accommodate their musculoskeletal capabilities and allow for reproducibility of the exercise protocol. The investigators intend to investigate the feasibility, safety, musculoskeletal, and psychological effects of this resistance exercise protocol in older patients with rheumatoid arthritis and vasculitis by testing their strength, body composition, functional ability, mood, and quality of life before and after this 16-week resistance exercise intervention.
The purpose of the study is to analyse exercise behaviour of rheumatoid arthritis patients.
This prospective, multi-center, observational study will evaluate the efficacy and the safety of MabThera (rituximab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have not responded or have been intolerant to a first anti-TNF alpha therapy. Patients have commenced MabThera or an alternative anti-TNF alpha treatment as a second biological therapy. Data will be collected for 12 months.
In this open-label monocentric explorative pilot trial the objective is to show the biodistribution of TNFα by administration of radiolabeled anti-TNFα in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and spondylarthropathy. The anti-TNFα used in this trial is certolizumab pegol (Cimzia®), a pegylated Fab'-fragment of a monoclonal antibody with high specificity for TNFα. Certolizumab pegol will be radiolabeled with 99mTechnetium. The aim of this study is to show the TNFα triggered inflammation process in the inflamed joints, especially in patients who have very early joint damage where currently other imaging methods such as X-rays are not sensitive enough for detection.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VX-509, an oral JAK3 inhibitor, for treatment of subjects with active RA who have had an inadequate response to Methotrexate.
