Filter by:This is an open-label, uncontrolled, observational study in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are receiving tocilizumab concomitantly with methotrexate as part of their standard of care.
This prospective, observational study will assess the effect of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) on fatigue in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS) or anti TNF (tumor necrosis factor) drugs. Eligible patients receiving RoActemra/Actemra according to the standard of care will be followed for 4 months.
This study will investigate the efficacy of both low and high doses of methotrexate (MTX) in combination with open-label adalimumab (ADA) in patients who have had an inadequate response to high dose of MTX. The study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of the two regimens of MTX in combination with ADA in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
In this study, a 10 mg dose of tasocitinib (CP-690,550) will be given to study subjects on three separate occasions using one of three different tablet formulations (tablet versions) each time. The amount of tasocitinib (CP-690,550) available in the blood following administration of each tablet formulation will be measured and compared. The overall aim of the study is to establish that a similar amount of tasocitinib (CP-690,550) is absorbed into the blood following administration of the same dose of each different tablet formulation.
In this study, a 10 mg tasocitinib (CP-690,550) tablet will be administered to healthy subjects on two separate dosing occasions. On one occasion the tasocitinib (CP-690,550) tablet will be administered in a fasting condition; On the other occasion the tasocitinib (CP-690,550) tablet will be administered in a fed condition following a standard breakfast meal. The amount of tasocitinib (CP-690,550) in the blood will be measured at various times over 24 hours following each dosing occasion and compared to evaluate for any differences.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a single dose of NNC0142-0002 administered to subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Hypothesis: SLE and RA increase risk of myocardial infarction (MI, heart attack). Immune reactants in the circulation of SLE patients downregulate cholesterol efflux proteins 27-hydroxylase and ABCA1 and upregulate scavenger receptor CD36, thus encouraging cholesterol accumulation. Adenosine A2A receptor agonist or statin treatment of cells exposed to SLE plasma (or immune complexes or cytokine-enriched plasma fractions from SLE patients) may ameliorate inflammatory properties of their plasma, lessening its atherogenic potency. Rationale: SLE and RA plasma contain components not present in significant levels in normal plasma that could, individually or acting together, affect 27-hydroxylase, ABCA1 and CD36 expression. Candidate components include autoantibodies, immune complexes, and various cytokines. Statins reduce major cardiovascular events and death. Modulation of adenosine signaling participates in regulation of 27-hydroxylase and ABCA1. As a potential preventative and therapeutic approach to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, the investigators evaluate the effect of A2A receptor agonists and statins on atherogenic parameters in SLE and RA plasma. Experimental Plan: Quantitate 27-hydroxylase and several other proteins involved in cellular cholesterol uptake and excretion in THP-1 monocytes/macrophages and HAEC after exposure to plasma and plasma components from SLE patients (and controls) ± lipid loading with acetylated LDL with/without addition of A2AR agonist, statin, or both. Determine relative impact of immune complexes and cytokines on expression of proteins involved in cholesterol flux. Determine levels of proteins involved in cellular cholesterol influx/efflux in peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from RA, SLE and psoriatic arthritis patients and normal controls at baseline, then following incubation in culture media alone or with statin, adenosine A2A agonist or both statin + A2AR agonist.
Purpose: To investigate into the differential effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids as compared to standard control therapy (olive oil) on disease activity and biochemical parameters in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), resp. psoriasis arthritis (PA).
The aim of this study is to find out how patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis receiving NSAID-therapy are treated and managed by their doctor in usual clinical practice, how patients comply with their treatment and how satisfied they are with their treatment.
The Combinatietherapie Bij Reumatoide Artritis (CoBRA) trial was a milestone in the development of the present treatment paradigm for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This study introduced the principle of fast remission induction by means of a combination of standard Disease Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) and a step down bridge therapy with high dose glucocorticoids in early Rheumatoid Arthritis. The purpose of the present study is to compare different combinations of traditional DMARDs and glucocorticoids, based on the original CoBRA protocol, for treatment of early Rheumatoid Arthritis. Besides the efficacy and effectiveness of these strategies, patient centered outcomes and potential implementation problems of such treatment strategies are evaluated.
