Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether Juanbi Pill combined with methotrexate are effective in the treatment of active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
To observe the relationship between the activity of rheumatoid arthritis and popliteal/epitrochlear lymph node morphology and the drainage of hand/foot superficial lymphatic vessels
This study is aimed at assessing the kinetics of the ultrasound (US) response in DMARD-naive very early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with tocilizumab (TCZ) and methotrexate (MTX).
Gum Arabic (GA) rich dietary fiber it is a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from the dried gummy exudates of the stems and branches of Acacia senegal, GA found to have strong immuno modulator in vitro where it increased IL10 production showing strong anti-inflammatory effects (19). The aim of this study is to determine the role of gum Arabic in immunomodulation among patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Multicenter, prospective, observational study for evaluating if circulant rheumatoid factor, cyclic citrullinated anti-peptide anti-bodies and albumin can be used as potential predictors in the response to the treatment with anti-TNF in patients with rheumatoid arthritis after 24 weeks of treatment.
This proof-of-concept randomized trial evaluates the effectiveness of using an online decision aid (US-ANSWER-2) in the decision-making to start or switch biologic therapy in US patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Two-year (2 year) information regarding the performance of the commercially available Actis™ Total Hip System in order to obtain and evaluate the clinical outcomes on a series of cementless primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemi-hip arthroplasty procedures using clinical, radiographic and device and procedure related adverse event assessments.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open, prospective, controlled, parallel-group intervention study in 318 patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The study is composed of 3 phases: a pre-randomization phase for up to 10 days followed by a 1-year randomized, open three arm treatment phase for each patient, followed by a 5-year observational phase for all patients still in remission.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease mediated by the production of several cytokines, which leads to the destruction of bone and cartilage tissue in multiple joints and to bone loss. Conventional radiographs (CR) are considered as the gold standard for diagnosis and follow up of joint changes in RA. But this method has low sensitivity to detect early erosive changes and is unable to evaluate periarticular bone loss. High Resolution peripheral QCT (HRpQCT) enables the detection of erosions less than 0.5 mm in width or depth at metacarpo-phalangeal (MCP) joints. Using 3-D high resolution analysis of cortical bone erosions, this one is also able to evaluate the volumes of erosion and the evolution under treatments IL6 (6- interleukin) plays a major role in inflammatory process and bone damages related to RA. Tocilizumab (TCZ) is a humanized anti-IL-6R monoclonal antibody, developed and investigated in several clinical trials in RA. This biotherapy, in association with methotrexate (MTX) or given in monotherapy, is efficient in RA with inadequate response to MTX or anti-TNF b (tumor necrosis factor). TCZ reduces dramatically systemic inflammation, structural progression and improves clinical symptoms and quality of life. Tocilizumab may help reducing bone erosions, periarticular osteopenia and systemic bone loss.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double blind, double-dummy and controlled clinical trial aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of Kunxian Capsule, a compound of Chinese traditional medicine, and the active comparator,Methotrexate for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The primary end-point is that Kunxian Capsule is not inferior to Methotrexate both in efficacy and safety.
