Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of filgotinib and its metabolite, GS-829845, in participants with varying degrees of impaired hepatic function relative to matched, healthy controls.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether, in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, a low-fat, vegan diet improves pain and other subjective symptoms more effectively than a control supplement or a placebo. The principal measure is pain as measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and disease activity as measured by number of painful swollen and tender joints, respectively. The study duration is 36 weeks. This study tests that a low fat, plant-based (vegan) diet free of foods commonly identified as triggers improves mood, using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-Revised (CESD-R), and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II).
First, this study will evaluate, in vitro, the cellular composition of the synovial fluid from patient with rheumatoid arthritis, gout or osteoarthritis. Then samples will be test with a new format of bispecific antibody targeting dendritic cells. The production of IL-10 will be the principal criteria of judgment. Production of others cytokines like IL-1B, IL-6, IL-12 and IFN will be checked as well.
This is a 16-week, open-label study to identify factors that help predict clinical responses to DMARD therapies for RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) patients. All patients will receive a starting dose of DMARD medication(s) which may be adjusted by the investigator as needed. If a subject becomes intolerant to a DMARD medication the subject will be withdrawn from the study at the discretion of the investigator. Visits (prior to week 16) where withdrawal is determined to be necessary will be considered end of study. End of study data (week 16) as well as study serum will be collected. (Serum only collected on those subjects who have consented to the addendum Serum and DNA of this study). A portion of the blood collected at baseline, week 8 and week 16 with the addendum portion of the study is for future research and will be utilized attempting to look to detect the generation of superoxide radicals. The radicals have been shown to be associated with inflammation and may correlate with the progression of RA. If this is true, then treatment with RA should decrease the levels of these radicals signaling response to treatment.
This study will assess the mental health and clinical benefits of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in patients with rheumatic disease who have anxiety or depression. MBSR, an interactive form of meditation that includes gentle yoga, will be taught by a certified instructor over an eight-week period. Mental health surveys will be conducted within one month of the study start and end as well as mid-course. Clinical assessments will be conducted within one-month of the study start and end.
A multi-centre, non-comparative, prospective post-market clinical follow-up study to obtain survival, clinical and radiographic outcomes data on the Zimmer Fitmore Hip Stem.
This study is a multi-center, prospective, non-controlled post-market surveillance study. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the safety and performance of the CLS Brevius stem with Kinectiv technology by obtaining implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for the commercially available stem.
This study is a retrieval of database information regarding survivorship of the Comprehensive Shoulder System family of products. The primary objective of the retrieval is to collect data that will contribute to the post market surveillance requirements for this product and will provide feedback to design engineers, support marketing efforts and publications, and answer potential questions form reimbursement agencies.
This is a single center, prospective, randomized controlled study. The primary objective of this study is to measure migration over two years with RSA. Patients will be randomized in two arms, receiving a Taperloc Complete Reduced Distal or a Taperloc Complete Microplasty hip stem.
Self-management is a key component of successful chronic disease management and patients can benefit from learning about how daily activities and treatments relate to their symptoms and health status on an ongoing basis. The primary goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of an e-health intervention, OPERAS, which includes two components: 1) the use of a newly developed web app to self-monitor symptoms/disease activity and treatment use, and help patients identify when a medical visit or treatment change is needed; 2) remote activity counselling provided by a physiotherapist, with the use of a wearable device (Fitbit) and the app to provide activity level feedback. The app component of OPERAS is hosted by the secure network of Arthritis Research Canada.
