Filter by:TWEAK (TNF weakly inducer of apoptosis) is a type II-transmembrane protein, member of the TNF ligand superfamily that can be cleaved to function as a soluble cytokine. Depending on target cell type, TWEAK triggers multiple cellular responses ranging from modulation of inflammation to cell death when it binds to its main receptor, Fn 14. Our team has been the first to describe pro-inflammatory effects of TWEAK during central nervous system inflammation. Various data support the possibility that TWEAK produced by synovial macrophages may contribute to chronic synovitis in animal models and in humans. In psoriatic arthritis (PsoA), anti-TNF therapy has been successful concording with the key role of TNF in the pathogenesis of this disease and the generation by psoriatic patients of neutralizing anti-TNF autoantibodies referred as "beneficial autoimmunity to pro-inflammatory mediators". In 2010, Van Kuijk et al. have described a high expression of TWEAK in the inflammatory synovial of PsoA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients before and after anti-TNF therapy. The role of TNF-alpha in the regulation of TWEAK expression remains unclear.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess whether there is transfer of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) into breast milk of lactating mothers who are receiving an established dosing regimen of CZP by evaluating the concentration of CZP in mature breast milk, and to calculate the daily infant dose of maternal CZP.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of switching from Remicade to the biosimilar treatment Remsima in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and chronic plaque psoriasis
A study of UCB4940 in subjects with psoriatic arthritis to evaluate the safety and body distribution of UCB4940 in those patients. Neither the patient nor the doctor will know the treatment group.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with spondyloarthritis are more satisfied with a physiotherapy-led outpatient clinic than usual care and whether there is a difference between patients in a physiotherapy-led outpatient clinic and those in usual care regarding disease activity, function and mobility.
Dactylitis is a poor prognostic factor in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. The efficacy of synthetic or biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) on dactylitis has not been previously studied in randomized controlled trials as a primary endpoint. In this investigator initiated clinical trial the investigators aim to test the hypothesis that the combination therapy of golimumab and methotrexate (MTX) will result in a significant improvement of dactylitis in comparison with MTX monotherapy, in MTX naïve psoriatic arthritis patients, at week 24. Similarly the efficacy on enthesitis, peripheral and axial involvement, skin and nail psoriasis, inflammation and damage of the feet and hands assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), composite indexes of disease activity, remission, function and quality of life will be determined. This is a national multicentre, interventional, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel design trial. 136 patients with active dactylitis, refractory to at least two systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), at optimal dosage, for 3 months will be included and centrally randomized to golimumab in combination with MTX versus MTX monotherapy, in a 1:1 ratio. The study duration will be 24 weeks. The investigators expect the results from this trial will contribute to a better definition of the treatment algorithm of PsA patients with dactylitis.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term exposure to KHK4827 in subjects with plaque psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatic erythroderma) who have completed Study 4827-003 (Study 003)and in subjects with pustular psoriasis (generalized) or psoriatic erythroderma who have completed the Study 4827-004 (Study 004).
This post marketing observational study (PMOS) is designed to provide the initial data on work impairment of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) patients in Turkey, as well as changes in work impairment, life quality and clinical response during treatment with anti-TNF agents.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of brodalumab, compared to placebo, in subjects with psoriatic arthritis. The key secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of brodalumab compared to placebo at week 16. The safety objective of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of brodalumab in subjects with psoriatic arthritis.
The primary purpose is to assess whether there is transfer of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) from pregnant women receiving treatment with Cimzia® across the placenta to infants by evaluating the concentration of CZP in the plasma of infants at birth.
