Filter by:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease, characterized by symmetric poly-arthritis usually involving the small joints of the hands and feet. In addition, various extra-joint manifestations may develop. Several immunomodulating agents have been attempted in the treatment of RA without achieving satisfactory results. Dysfunction of regulatory T (Treg) cells has been detected in diverse autoimmune diseases, which can be promoted by interleukin-2 (IL-2). The investigators hypothesized that low-dose IL-2 could be a novel therapy in active RA patients. This clinical study will test the efficacy and safety of low dose IL-2 treatment in RA. The investigators perform a single-centre, double-blind pilot trial with hrIL-2 in RA. The investigators evaluate the effectiveness and safeness of low-dose hrIL-2 for RA by randomized controlled study (hrIL-2 (N = 23) + Methotrexate (MTX)+ Loxoprofen versus placebo+MTX + Loxoprofen group (N = 24)).
The overall aim of this randomized control trial study is to investigate the effectiveness of a six-month, community based, pedometer supported, walking programme, along with an education programme incorporating behavioural change techniques on steps count and sedentary time, disease activity, functional capacity and cardiovascular risk of people within the first five years of being diagnosed with RA.
The family of inflammatory/autoimmune systemic diseases (IAD) form a continuum from pure inflammatory diseases to pure autoimmune diseases, encompassing a large panel of inflammatory diseases with some autoimmune components, and vice versa. Cross phenotyping of patients with IAD should be heuristic and help revise the nosography and the understanding of these diseases.
This study is a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial with healthy subjects. There are 6 Groups as follows: 5mg, 15mg, 30mg, 50mg, 75mg, 100mg, and each group includes12 people. A single subcutaneous injection will be administrated starting from the low dose group (in accordance with 5mg, 15mg, 30mg, 50mg, 75mg, 100mg administered subcutaneously). Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics data will be collected; drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics characteristics will be analyzed. Drug safety and tolerance for subjects will be evaluated.
To study the Pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters of montelukast, flurbiprofen, midazolam, digoxin, pravastatin, and MTX when coadministered with BMS-986142.
For public health purposes disability is becoming increasingly important as an outcome measure. Despite this, there are few data on the effectiveness of adalimumab on disability outcomes in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), particularly in the Phase IV setting. There are even less data available in New Zealand, which did not have the opportunity to participate to a major extent in large, multinational, Phase III pivotal studies of adalimumab in IMIDs. The World Health Organisation Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 is a simple, validated, free and easy-to-use generic assessment instrument for health and disability. It is applicable across cultures, in all adult populations. It is a responsive measure that can show what difference a treatment makes. Results from study of effect of adalimumab on WHODAS scores and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of work activity and well-being will be of interest to a variety of stakeholders in the healthcare system including patients, healthcare practitioners and payers.
The purpose of the study is to better understand the factors present in the cells of inflamed joints of patients with arthritis that may cause rheumatoid arthritis. Knowledge gained from this study may lead to new and better therapies for arthritis.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, 24-week, open-label extension (OLE) study to assess the safety and tolerability of ABT-122 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) subjects who have completed Study M12-963 Phase 2 RCT.
The main aim of the study is to determine whether TNFi instituted as first-line therapy in early RA confers better outcomes (clinical, structural and immunological) compared to delayed TNFi start; implying particular dominance of TNF in early disease, a changing role of TNF with disease duration and hence, confirmation of a biological window of opportunity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and body distribution of Bimekizumab (UCB4940) when added to Certolizumab Pegol treatment in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Neither the patient nor the doctor will know the treatment group.
