Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the associations between inflammatory disease activity and endothelial function in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis patients treated with methotrexate and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFalpha)inhibitor in combination or methotrexate or TNFalpha-inhibitor alone. Further, to look for improvement in endothelial function, and decrease in bone and cartilage destruction during treatment with the combination therapy of TNFalpha-inhibitor and methotrexate in RA and Psoriatic Arthritis (PSA) patients. Last, examine the TNFalpha inhibitors influence on endothelial function and levels of bone and cartilage markers in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
The objective of this observational study is to determine the incidence of response in patients with predictive factors of major clinical response in active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in patients who start anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy and correlate these findings in patients who switch from one to another anti-TNF due to inefficacy under usual clinical practice conditions in Spain.
This study is a 12-week, randomized, placebo and positive drug controlled clinical trial to investigate whether tripterygium capsule is effective and safe in treating patients with ankylosing spondylitis. The investigators expect that the tripterygium capsule is more effective than placebo and has few adverse effects.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of etanercept 100 mg (50 mg twice a week) compared with 50 mg once a week in adult subjects with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and previous failure to usual practice therapies in Spain.
This is an observational study aiming to study the prevalence and risk factors for osteoporosis and vertebral fractures in patients with ankylosing spondylitis attending three Rheumatology clinics in Western Sweden.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the proportion of participants in the infliximab plus naproxen arm versus the placebo plus naproxen arm, in a population of participants with moderate-to-severe active axial spondyloarthritis and disease duration of ≤3 years, who achieve the Assessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS) partial remission criteria.
This observational study is in line with the German educational plan with the aim to implement a tool to increase and monitor the awareness of tuberculosis screening and to reinforce the patient eligibility for a treatment with Remicade according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPc).
This is a Phase 2 study, involving a 12-week treatment period, designed to evaluate the effectiveness of investigational study drug ARRY-371797 (versus placebo) in treating ankylosing spondylitis, and to further evaluate the drug's safety. Approximately 130 patients from the US, Canada, Poland and Hungary will be enrolled in this study.
Evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AIN457 when administered as treatment of moderate to severe ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
This is a Phase 4, multi-center, open-label, one-arm, pilot study in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis refractory to conventional treatment. Remicade will be given at Weeks 0, 2, and 6 and then every 8 weeks up to Week 54. The number of patients showing ASAS-20 clinical response at Week 14 will be evaluated.
