Filter by:This extension study will provide continuing treatment with secukinumab for up to 3 years for subjects who completed the phase III core study, CAIN457F2302. Subjects will be offered maintenance treatment with secukinumab at the 150 mg given subcutaneously every 4 weeks. The study aims to obtain further long term efficacy, safety and tolerability information on secukinumab for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) to use an experimental autoinjector to self inject etanercept (Enbrel®).
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multicentre clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of SB4 compared to Enbrel in subjects with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) despite Methotrexate (MTX) therapy. In some countries, after 52 weeks of treatment with either SB4 or Enbrel, subjects will be enrolled into an open label extension period. Subjects will receive SB4 for an additional 48 weeks.
- Participants suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis who had an inadequate response to methotrexate were evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG0634 as monotherapy (3 different doses - 50 milligram (mg), 100 mg and 200 mg once daily) or matching placebo for 24 weeks. - During the course of the study, patients were also examined for any side effects that could occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG0634 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood (Pharmacodynamics) were determined. Also, the effects of different doses of GLPG0634 administration on participants' disability, fatigue and quality of life were evaluated.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease because of systemic inflammation that can persist even in patients with well-controlled joint disease. We hypothesize that adding an anti-tumor necrosis factor medication, adalimumab, to standard non-biologic therapy for rheumatoid arthritis will improve endothelial function (reduce cardiovascular risk) in these patients. The design of the trial is as follows: 18 month prospective, randomized, double-blind crossover trial comparing the addition of adalimumab to the addition of placebo. The primary endpoint is a change in endothelial cell function, as detected by brachial artery FMD, at 6 months of adalimumab treatment compared to 6 months of placebo.
The primary purpose of the protocol is to describe the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of Abatacept 125 mg in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients delivered via the autoinjector device or the approved prefilled syringe.
Participants suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis despite continued treatment with methotrexate were evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG0634 (3 different doses - 50 milligram [mg], 100 mg and 200 mg daily -, each evaluated as once daily [QD] and twice daily [BID] regimen) or matching placebo for 24 weeks. •During the course of the study, patients were also examined for any side effects that could occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG0634 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood (Pharmacodynamics) were determined. Also, the effects of different doses and dose regiments of GLPG0634 administration on participants' disability, fatigue, and quality of life were evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term safety and any side effects of baricitinib in participants who have completed a previous baricitinib rheumatoid arthritis study. The study provides 7 years of additional treatment with baricitinib.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) dose reduction in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Remission is the treatment target in RA, but knowledge about the best way to treat RA patients who achieve sustained remission is limited. DMARDs have potential serious adverse events, and biologic DMARDs are costly to the society. The objectives for ARCTIC REWIND are to assess the effect of tapering and withdrawal of DMARDs on disease activity in RA patients in sustained remission, to study predictors for successful tapering and withdrawal of DMARDs in this patient group, and to study cost-effectiveness of different treatment options in RA remission. ARCTIC REWIND is a randomized, open, controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, phase IV, non-inferiority strategy study. Patients with less than five years of disease duration and stable remission for at least 12 months are randomized to either continued stable treatment or tapering and withdrawal of DMARDs, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors and synthetic DMARDs. Patients are assessed by clinical examination, patient reported outcome measures, ultrasonography, MRI and X-ray, and monitored for adverse events. The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of patients who are non-failures (have not experienced a flare) at 12 months. Secondary endpoints include composite disease activity scores and remission criteria, joint damage and inflammation assessed by various imaging modalities, work participation, health care resource use and health related quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Sidus stem-free shoulder system is safe and effective when used in total shoulder replacement.
