Filter by:CMAB008 is an infliximab biosimilar candidate. The host cell of Remicade is mouse myeloma SP2/0 cell, however, the host cell of CMAB008 is CHO (Chinese hamster ovary cell). It seems that CMAB008 has lower immunogenicity and higher safety, because Remicade comprises more complex-type and hybrid-type glycans than CMAB008. However, it is not yet known whether CMAB008 is not inferior to Remicade. This randomized, double-blind trial investigates the efficacy and safety of CMAB008 for moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, compared to Remicade.
Serum, synovial fluid and skin biopsies from patients will be collected to the biobank with rheumatoid diseases. These samples will later be used for clinical and basic research, following approval of each specific study by the IRB. The investigators intend to extract protein, DNA and RNA from each sample.
An observational study investigating the utilisation and effectiveness of originator and biosimilar anti-TNF agents in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis.
The purpose is to study the use of virtual reality (VR) and biofeedback in rheumatology clinics to help manage chronic pain in patients with rheumatologic diseases. The objective is to know the usefulness of VR/biofeedback-based therapy in the clinic.
This is a long-term study of Abatacept in participants that only recently started to develop Rheumatoid Arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting mainly joints.
A prospective , observational, multi-centre, cohort study of the G7™ Acetabular System used with compatible femoral stems in patients with degenerative disease of the hip. The study will be enrolled onto Beyond Compliance.
Rheumatic diseases regroup a variety of disorders affecting the locomotor system including joints, muscles, connective tissues and soft tissues around the joints and bones. Inflammation and/or autoimmune reactions contribute to the aetiology of many rheumatic diseases. Such autoimmune conditions, commonly referred to as inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD), include arthritis of various origins such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or spondylarthritis (SpA). Patients with autoimmune diseases such as RA or SpA are in higher risk of fractures compared to the general population. Initial pharmacotherapies for IRD remain NSAID treatment for pain relief, and anti-resorptive agents (e.g., TNF-alpha blockers) which aim at reducing bone loss and preventing occurrence of new bone erosions. Yet current treatments may have strong side effects and are not always effective (e.g., 35-40% of the patients treated with TNF-alpha inhibitors will initially or progressively loose response). Therefore there is a need for further treatment modalities in IRD, which would focus on both suppressing inflammation and treating bone disorders. Current research studies indicate that Bone Therapeutics' allogeneic osteoblastic cells exhibit in vitro potent immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties (in addition to osteo-regenerative and immune-privileged properties). The present research study aims at investigating in vitro the properties of these osteoblastic cells in the context of inflammatory rheumatic diseases. In this purpose, in vitro assays will be used to test these immunosuppressive effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of subjects diagnosed with RA, PsA and SpA.
Primary Objective: To assess the effect of sarilumab in combination with conventional synthetic Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (csDMARD) and/or monotherapy on participant-reported impact of disease, using the rheumatoid arthritis impact of disease (RAID) questionnaire, in participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the change of the RAID score from baseline (to Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24) in participants with moderately to severely active RA and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or TNF inhibitors, treated with sarilumab in combination with csDMARD and/or monotherapy. - To assess the effect of sarilumab in combination with csDMARD and/or monotherapy on other participant-reported outcomes (global assessment of disease activity, disability, morning stiffness, fatigue, anxiety/depression, mood disorders, and physical activities) in participants with moderately to severely active RA and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or TNF inhibitors. - To assess the efficacy of sarilumab in combination with csDMARD and/or monotherapy using disease activity score-28 for RA with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and clinical disease activity index in participants with moderately to severely active RA and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or TNF inhibitors. - To assess the safety of sarilumab in combination with csDMARD and/or monotherapy in participants with moderately to severely active RA and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or TNF inhibitors.
Primary aim: examine a possible connection between cigarette smoking, disease activity and perceived pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Secondary aim: Evaluate cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Methotrexate (MTX) is the first-line treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In case of MTX failure, it is discussed to start a Biologic Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drug (bDMARDs) according to the latest European recommendations of the EULAR. Before to add a Biologic Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drug (bDMARDs), an objective estimation of MTX impregnation could be carried out by MTX polyglutamates (MTX-PG). In rheumatoid arthritis patients with active disease estimated by DAS28 (Disease activity Score 28)> 3.2 insufficiently controlled by MTX subcutaneously and patients in remission obtained with a DAS 28 <2.6 with methotrexate prescribed since more than 6 months at stable dose for at least 3 months, a concentration of MTX-PG will be achieved.
