Filter by:Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease, it is not clear whether the gene expression profile exhibited by circulated peripheral blood cells and that expressed by the inflamed synovium mirror one another. Understanding this relationship would be useful not only in potentially having a relatively non-invasive means to predict response to therapy but it might be useful in better understanding differences in RA expression amongst patients with this disease, thus perhaps assisting in target identification through a better understanding of disease processes.
Remission is nowadays the recommended therapeutic objective in rheumatoid arthritis. Once this objective is achieved thanks to TNF-blockers, the optimal therapeutic strategy remains unclear, either therapeutic maintenance or progressive DMARD tapering (with a non quantified risk of disease flare). STRASS is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial aiming to compare these 2 strategies (DMARD maintenance or progressive spacing of TNF-blocker injections) in terms of remission maintenance, relapse risk, safety issues and economic consequences during 18 months. The inclusion period is 18 months, between September 2008 and February 2010.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and PK/PD of ocrelizumab at each dose in combination with methotrexate（MTX）in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The data from this study will also be compared with those from a clinical study of ocrelizumab in patients with active RA that was conducted in the U.S.
Study X052070 will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of XOMA 052 administered to patients with active, stable, moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is hypothesized that administration of XOMA 052 is likely to improve inflammatory control in subjects with RA.
This 2 arm study will compare the safety and efficacy, with regard to reduction of signs and symptoms, of tocilizumab versus placebo, both in combination with DMARDs, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who currently have an inadequate response to DMARD therapy. Patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive tocilizumab 8mg/kg iv or placebo iv every 4 weeks, in conjunction with stable DMARD therapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
Investigate safety and tolerability of the escalating dose of CAM-3001 in patients.
Phase I study designed to determine the safety and tolerability of a single dose of BIIB023 administered intravenously versus placebo to subjects with RA.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of golimumab in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis despite DMARD (Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs) therapy. Another objective is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of golimumab.
This Phase 1b/2a study will evaluate safety, tolerability pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of brodalumab when administered in multiple subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) doses in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in combination with a stable dose of disease modulating anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Part A is dose escalation (to assess safety & tolerability), and Part B is dose expansion (to assess clinical efficacy) at the highest tolerated dose level of brodalumab from Part A.
The Disease Activity Score (DAS) is a system of measurement developed in the 1980s that uses certain criteria, including joint counts and patient perceived disease activity, to measure disease activity in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis . More recently, the European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) has developed a new system of measurement known as the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease score, or EULAR-RAID score. The EULAR-RAID score is a composite score based on patient reported outcomes, and includes such criteria as pain, functional disability, fatigue, sleep disturbances, coping, overall assessment of physical well being and overall assessment of psychological well being. The objective of this study is to evaluate the practical modalities and performance of the EULAR- RAID score in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have been prescribed etanercept as part of usual medical practice.
