Filter by:This is the trial to see how our product is similar to remicade by comparing the results of blood samples when co-administered with methotrexate between 12.5 to 25 mg/week, oral or parenteral dose and folic acid in rheumatoid arthritis patients who are not receiving adequate response to methotrexate alone up to week 30.
This open-label study will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in combination with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Patients who successfully completed studies WA17823 and WA18696 in South Africa are eligible to participate in this study. Patients will be allowed DMARDs according to the treatment they received in the previous studies. Patients will receive 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra intravenously every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Certolizumab pegol can rapidly reduce the inflammatory changes and inhibit erosions on hand and wrist MRI in patients with active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab vs placebo, in combination with stable, ongoing therapy, with regard to reduction in signs and symptoms in patients with moderate to severe active RA and inadequate response to current DMARD treatment
Part A: 30 patients suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis despite continued treatment with methotrexate will receive once daily two capsules containing either GLPG0259 (25 mg/capsule) or matching placebo, for 12 weeks. In the course of the study the patients will be examined for severity of disease, as well as for any adverse effects that may occur. If needed, dosing may be split to one capsule twice daily, or reduced to one capsule of 25 mg. Part B: If results of Part A suggest test medication to have a therapeutic advantage over placebo and to be well-tolerated, more patients will be recruited for Part B, where various dosages will be assessed. These dosages will be established based on results from Part A.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (the effect of the body on the investigated drug), pharmacodynamic biomarkers (biomarkers related to anti-IL-21 expected mode of action) and signs of clinical efficacy of increasing single doses, at 9 i.v. (into the vein) dose levels in Healthy Subjects , at 3 i.v. dose levels in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and at 3 s.c. dose levels in Healthy Subjects.
The ultimate goal of treatment in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is remission, i.e. an absence of signs and symptoms of the disease. However, the optimal way of reaching this goal is not known. Ultrasonography (US) is an imaging modality which application is rapidly growing. It has a number of advantages over other advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including low cost, good accessibility, and ability to scan many joints in a short period of time. However, the additional benefit of using this modality in terms of patient outcomes has not been demonstrated. Thus, clarification is needed if the use of US leads to better care for RA patients. This study will assess if the use of a treatment strategy incorporating information from ultrasonography assessment will allow for better outcomes of patients with RA, than a strategy based on clinical and laboratory assessments alone.
The primary purpose of this study is to help answer if LY2127399 is safe and effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with or without background disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. This study is comprised of 2 periods: Period 1 - 24-week blinded treatment Period 2 - 48-week post-treatment follow-up
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory form of arthritis that causes joint pain and damage. RA attacks the lining of the joints (synovium), causing swelling that can result in aching and throbbing, and eventually deformity. Even though there have been many advances in the treatment of RA, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and other inflammatory arthritis, doctors still do not know what causes this inflammation in joints. It is likely that RA occurs as a result of a complex combination of factors, including a person's genes; lifestyle choices, such as smoking and diet; and things in a person's environment, including bacteria or viruses. This study investigates the hypothesis that bacteria living in a person's mouth and/or intestinal tract are responsible, at least in part, for the development of Rheumatoid Arthritis. The investigators believe that by killing those bacteria with antibiotics, they might be able to understand how the immune system works and, maybe, what causes RA.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking methotrexate and have had an inadequate response to a single TNF-alpha antagonist. The study will last for approximately six months.
