Filter by:This 3 arm randomized open label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of tocilizumab in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis, who have had inadequate response to or are unable to tolerate DMARDs. The protocol incorporates risk mitigation strategies developed in partnership with the FDA to manage known and potential risks associated with the treatment of tocilizumab. Patients will be randomized to receive tocilizumab either 4 mg/kg intravenous (iv) or 8 mg/kg iv with concomitant non-biologic DMARDs, or 8 mg/kg iv without concomitant non-biologic DMARDs, every 4 weeks, for a total of 6 infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500-1000 individuals.
This is a Phase I multicenter study that will be conducted in the United States and Europe.
The purpose of this study is to develop a registry with safety and efficacy data on the use of etanercept in clinical practice in Taiwan.
This study is being performed to investigate the potential for AZD5672 to affect the electrical conduction pathways in the heart. AZD5672 will be compared against a drug (moxifloxacin - a licensed antibiotic) known to have a detectable but safe change on the electrical conduction of the heart.
This 2 arm study will compare the incidence of tocilizumab-related infusion reactions, using 2 different infusion times, in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have shown an inadequate response to DMARDs (Disease Modifying Anti Rheumatic Drugs) or anti-TNFs.Patients will be randomized to one of 2 groups, to receive tocilizumab 8mg/kg iv every 4 weeks either a)over a 1h infusion time for all administrations or b) a 1h infusion time for the first administration, followed by a 31 minute infusion time for subsequent administrations (unless drug-related infusion reactions occur).The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of different dose regimens of ILV-094 compared with placebo, administered subcutaneously to subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who are taking methotrexate.
This study was an extension to study MA21573 [NCT00750880], which was an open label single arm study to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of tocilizumab monotherapy, or combination therapy with non-biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS), in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients who completed the 24 week core study, and had at least a moderate European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response, were eligible to enter this long-term extension study, and received tocilizumab 8 mg/kg intravenous (iv) every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment was 1-2 years, and the target sample size was > 500 individuals.
This is an epidemiological, multicenter, retrospective study to analyze the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in usual clinical practice in Spain. Two groups of patients will be analyzed: individuals who have had RA for two years or less (the "early RA" group) and individuals who have had RA for more than 2 years and who currently meet the ACR criteria for RA (the "established RA" group).
The purpose of this study is to monitor the performance and determine the metal ion release of the DePuy ASR™ System in the treatment of patients with hip joint disease requiring hip resurfacing surgery. Patients who enter the study will be evaluated at regular intervals following hip surgery using patient, clinical and x-ray assessments. A subset of patients will also have blood samples taken at regular intervals to allow the metal ion levels to be determined and undergo scans to allow the bone mineral density of the bone surrounding the implant to be monitored. DePuy decided to close this Study in 4Q 2009. The Study was terminated with effect from November 2010 to allow for the completion of the 5 year follow up assessments. Please note that subsequent to this decision DePuy voluntarily recalled the ASR products on 24 August 2010. Additional information regarding this voluntary recall and the follow-up of patients affected by the recall can be found at the following links http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Publications/Safetywarnings/MedicalDeviceAlerts/CON079157 and http://www.depuy.com/countries_list.
The purpose of this study is to monitor the stability of the C-Stem™ AMT hip within the thigh bone when used in the treatment of patients with hip joint disease requiring a total hip replacement. Patients who enter the study will be evaluated at regular intervals following hip surgery using patient, clinical, standard x-ray assessments and special x-rays which allow the stability of the implant to be determined.
