Filter by:This nationwide, multicenter, single arm, prospective, non-interventional study will evaluate the quantitative pattern of NSAID use and the impact of treatment with tocilizumab on NSAID use in a representative cohort of participant with moderate to severe active RA who have either responded inadequately to, or who were intolerant to previous therapy with one or more synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (sDMARD), and for whom the physician has made the individual decision to initiate tocilizumab (subcutaneous [SC] or intravenous [IV]) as first biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy according to the summary of product characteristics (SPC).
Interventional study with minimal risks and constraints, prospective, mono-centric.
The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of Benepali in participants with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), including participants with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axSpA, following their transition from treatment with Enbrel. The secondary objectives of this study are to describe clinical characteristics of patients transitioned from Enbrel® to Benepali® in routine practice, to evaluate safety during and following the transition from Enbrel to Benepali and to evaluate patient-reported outcomes during and following the transition from Enbrel to Benepali.
A randomised study of multidisciplinary care (MDT) versus routine care in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients with RA are randomised either to a single visit to a "one Stop Arthritis Clinic' (OSAC) or to see their usual rheumatologists. Data are collected at the baseline visit, and again at subsequent clinic visits (approximately 3 and 6 months). Outcomes such as quality of life, disease activity, physical function, disease specific knowledge, coping and self efficacy are evaluated. Assessment of comorbidities and preventative care (cancer screening, vaccinations, cardiovascular risk assessment and optimisation) are also assessed between the 2 arms.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) increase cardiovascular risk and endothelial dysfunction. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is expected to improve endothelial dysfunction through some metabolic effects. The investigators intend to find the role of HCQ to improve endothelial dysfunction in RA patients. This study will also evaluate correlation HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance), FFA (free fatty acid) and ox-LDL (oxidized-LDL) level change, with endothelial dysfunction improvement.
Infliximab and other TNF-inhibitors have revolutionised the treatment of several immunological inflammatory diseases. Still, more than half of the patients either do not respond sufficiently to infliximab therapy or loose efficacy over time. The large individual variation in the serum drug concentrations on standard doses and the development of anti-drug antibodies are thought to be main reasons for these treatment failures. An individualised treatment strategy based on systematic assessments of serum drug concentrations, therapeutic drug monitoring, has been proposed as a clinical tool to optimise efficacy of infliximab treatment. Therapeutic drug monitoring seems reasonable both from a clinical and an economical point of view, but the effectiveness of this treatment strategy still remain to be shown. The NOR-DRUM study is planned as a national, randomised controlled multicentre trial in two parts aiming to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic drug monitoring in order to achieve remission in patients with immunological inflammatory diseases starting infliximab treatment (part A) and in order to maintain disease control in patients on maintenance infliximab treatment (part B). The results of the NOR-DRUM study will hopefully contribute to an implementation of a personalised medicine approach to treatment with infliximab and other biological drugs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the switch from the original infliximab ( REMICADE®) to its biosimilar (INFLECTRA®) in all the patients at Cochin hospital receiving REMICADE® for either a rheumatic, gastro-enterologic or ophthalmic condition
The purpose of this study is to compare the proportion of patients who could withdraw from prednisone and hydrocortisone one year after a progressive decrease of GC (GC tapering) or a hydrocortisone replacement therapy in rheumatoid arthritis in remission or low disease activity.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double blind, double dummy, placebo and active-controlled, parallel group study to assess the efficacy and safety of PF 06650833 at Week 12 in subjects with moderate-severe, active, RA who have had an inadequate response to MTX. PF-06650833 or matching placebo tablets will be administered orally QD under fasting conditions, and tofacitinib or matching tofacitinib placebo tablets will be administered orally BID for 12 weeks in a blinded fashion.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate similarity of NI-071 (proposed biosimilar to infliximab) to US REMICADE® (reference product) in terms of safety and efficacy in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) not adequately responding to methotrexate (MTX).
