Filter by:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory form of arthritis that causes joint pain and damage. RA attacks the lining of the joints (synovium), causing swelling that can result in aching and throbbing, and eventually deformity. Even though there have been many advances in the treatment of RA, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and other inflammatory arthritis, doctors still do not know what causes this inflammation in joints. It is likely that RA occurs as a result of a complex combination of factors, including a person's genes; lifestyle choices, such as smoking and diet; and things in a person's environment, including bacteria or viruses. This study investigates the hypothesis that bacteria living in a person's mouth and/or intestinal tract are responsible, at least in part, for the development of Rheumatoid Arthritis. The investigators believe that by killing those bacteria with antibiotics, they might be able to understand how the immune system works and, maybe, what causes RA.
The primary purpose of this study is to help answer if LY2127399 is safe and effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis while on a background treatment of methotrexate. This study is comprised of 3 periods: Period 1: 52-week blinded treatment Period 2: additional 48-week unblinded treatment Period 3: 48-week post-treatment follow-up
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking methotrexate and have had an inadequate response to a single TNF-alpha antagonist. The study will last for approximately six months.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) but not responding. The study will last for 1 year.

This is a phase Ⅲ multicenter, open-label, follow-up study, to assess the safety and efficacy of certolizumab pegol (CZP) as additional medication to methotrexate (MTX), in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who participated in Study (Protocol) # 101-KOA-0801i.
This observational study will assess the efficacy and safety of MabThera/Rituxan (Rituximab) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response or are intolerant to anti-TNF therapy. Data will be collected from patients initiated on MabThera/Rituxan therapy according to standard of care in routine clinical practice. For each patient data will be collected for 92 weeks.
This open-label, single arm study will assess the effect of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) on neutrophils and monitor safety and benefit-risk of RoActemra/Actemra treatment in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to current biologic or non-biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra at a dose of 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks, either as monotherapy or in combination with their current non-biologic DMARD. Anticipated time on study treatment is 52 weeks.
This randomized, double-blind, parallel group study will compare the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (sc) versus intravenous (iv) administration of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 162 mg sc weekly plus iv placebo every 4 weeks, or RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks plus sc placebo weekly during the double-blind period from baseline to Week 24. The double-blind period will be followed by a 72-week open-label treatment with some switching of sc and iv administration. No placebo will be administered in the open-label phase. Patients will continue on their stable dose of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) throughout the study. Anticipated time on study treatment is 2 years.
This prospective, multi-center observational study will assess the long-term efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra in daily practice in patients with active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response or are intolerant to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists. Data will be collected from patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to label by decision of the treating physician. Anticipated time for data collection from each patient will be 2 years.
