Filter by:The purpose of this global study was to demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an intravenous (i.v.) regimen of secukinumab compared to placebo in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA ) at Week 16 despite current or previous non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAID), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and/or anti Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) therapy. In addition, to further support efficacy and safety of an i.v. regimen, data was collected for up to 52 weeks of treatment.
Study Design: A randomized, prospective, pilot, controlled trial. Setting: Rheumatology and rehabilitation department Minia University and Sohag University Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of caudal epidural injections with triamcinolone and lidocaine in managing limited spine mobility in axial SPA. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to one of 2 groups, Group I patients received caudal epidural injections with 1% lidocaine hydrochloride (xylocaine AstraZeneca) 9 mL mixed with 1 mL of triamcinolone 40 milligrams (Kenacort Bristol Myers Squip), whereas Group II patients did not receive. Both groups were age and sex matched and both were under treatment with anti TNF and NSAIDs with or without sDMARDs.
In this study, investigators aimed to observe the examination findings, laboratory findings and drugs used in routine polyclinic controls of the participants using biological and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) and the doses and side effects of these drugs. The aim of this registry is to evaluate the real-life data of participants receiving these medications. Analysis of treatment follow-up, drug changes, causes of change, treatment-related paradoxic / immune reactions, compliance with adult vaccination programs, nutritional profiles, presence of metabolic syndrome, fertility status, pregnancy outcomes, and vitamin D levels will be recorded in the outpatient clinic. Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease, Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID and PSAID indexes), Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI), drug compliance, central sensitization and fall risk will be evaluated with verbal evaluation forms performed at policlinic controls in patients with spondyloarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is planned to conduct scientific analyzes and publish on various subjects from the recorded information on this registration system. Patients using biological and targeted synthetic DMARD treatments are closely monitored and evaluated in many ways due to the risk profiles and various characteristics of the drugs. With this registry system, it is aimed to evaluate the real-life data of the participants using these drugs. Real-life data are very valuable in monitoring the disease and the drugs. The study is observational and there is no expected risk since no intervention is planned.
The purpose of this study is to compare selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and non selective COX inhibitors with respect to the extent to which disease activity is improved without self reported, unacceptable side effects among individual patients with axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA),to compare selective COX-2 and nonselective COX inhibitors impact on Health related Quality of Life (HrQOL) and how this relates to changes in disease activity and to conduct proteomic assessment of predictive biomarkers of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID) response
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a group of inflammatory rheumatic conditions with inflammatory back pain caused by inflammation in the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and back as hallmark. Currently, no laboratory test or biomarker is cable of differentiating between patients with early-stage axSpA and persisting low back pain of other causes. The objective of this study is to investigate the predictive value of baseline levels of the biomarkers Complement C3d and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (HsCRP) identifying bone marrow oedema (BME) at MRI of the SIJ at baseline.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate candidate predictors of persistence on adalimumab (Imraldi®) participants diagnosed with immune-mediated inflammatory disease in Europe (EU). The secondary objectives of this study are to describe participant clinical characteristics at baseline, utilization of Imraldi® over time, biologic drug effectiveness over time, participant satisfaction with biologic administration, routine laboratory values and clinical evaluation measurements over time, use of relevant concomitant medication use over time, immunogenicity of biosimilars and to summarize safety events.
This study evaluates clinical responses and cost-effectiveness of using etanercept (ETN) and conventional synthetic Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) with treat-to-target strategy in ankylosing spondylitis patients. Half of participants will be used treat-to-target strategy with ETN and csDMARDs, while the others will be used conventional therapy scheme with ETN only.
To evaluate the efficacy of Tofacitinib in reducing inflammation in the sacroiliac joints and spine on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) with axial Involvement (BASDAI [Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index] ≥ 4 and total backpain ≥ 4 despite treatment with NSAIDs plus evidence of active inflammation in the sacroiliac joints or spine on MRI).
There is a lack of knowledge among patients concerning their treatment with bDMARDs, which could lead to low adherence. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of a pharmacist's intervention on the adherence to bDMARDs in patients with Spondyloarthritis.
The general main objective of our study is to investigate the psychometric properties, the levels and determinants of the extent of SF- 6D utility in patients followed for recent back pain inflammatory disease. The specific objectives are : - Study the feasibility of the tool considering missing data, distribution, construct validity, reproducibility, sensitivity to change or clinically different groups (discriminative ability) the extent of SF -6D utility . - Study the impact of socio-demographic characteristics, disease characteristics and quality of life, comorbidities at baseline on the measurement of utility and sensitivity to change.
