Filter by:The objectives of this research study are to determine the frequency of low synovitis scores by ultrasound in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in moderate or high disease activity and to compare physician treatment recommendations for patients before versus after receiving ultrasound results. Participants will answer questionnaires about their disease activity and complete a musculoskeletal ultrasound in accordance with the study procedures.
Periodontitis is a chronic disease that leads to the loss of teeth. It has been associated to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Periodontal therapy (NSPT) has been shown to have systemic effects. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of non-surgical periodontal therapy on biochemical parameters of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), periodontal parameters and quality of life in patients with and without RA. Adult patients with and RA and periodontitis can participate in the study. Participants benefit from the effects of conventional tooth cleaning (periodontal therapy) and oral hygiene instructions. There are no significant risk associated with periodontal therapy. The study is conducted at the Universidad de Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia. The study is set to start 2019 and end mid 2021. The study is funded by a grant from the Universidad de Antioquia. Contact person: Javier Enrique Botero (javier.botero@udea.edu.co)
The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases has not yet been widely reported, and has been evaluated only in symptomatic patient samples. The proportion of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients is unknown, in patients who share common symptoms with CoV-2-SARS infection. Our objective is to describe the prevalence of seroconversion to CoV-2-SARS by consecutive screening in routine care of patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism with serological testing
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug LY3462817 is safe and effective in participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of filgotinib on a mixed organic anion transporting polypeptide/cytochrome P450 3A (OATP/CYP3A), OATP/ breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and OATP substrates using phenotypic probes.
In this open-label, multi-center, observational, post-marketing surveillance study, patients with ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis received biosimilar etanercept 25 mg twice weekly or 50 mg once weekly in real-world settings. Safety and effectiveness of biosimilar etanercept were evaluated in study participants for a duration of up to 12 months.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of GLPG3970 compared to placebo on the signs and symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in participants with moderately to severely active RA and an inadequate response to methotrexate (MTX).
It is aimed to objectively demonstrate and compare the effectiveness of aerobic and resistant exercises performed on female patients with rheumatoid arthritis with sonographic muscle measurements. In addition, it is planned to compare the effects of 2 group exercises on functional status, quality of life and body composition and to show its correlation with sonographic measurements. There are 3 groups in total in the study. These are the control group given only the range of motion exercise, the second group given the range of motion and resistance exercise, and the third group given the range of motion and aerobic exercise. Exercise programs will last 12 weeks and it is planned to exercise 3 days a week.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between grip endurance, disability of upper extremity and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The COVID-19 outbreak has affected health care of patients with rheumatic diseases; telemedicine might help to assist patients. The primary objective is to determine if a hybrid medical care model, which consists of alternating face-to-face medical visits and video medical consultations, is not inferior, in terms of the Patient Reported Outcomes measures (PROMs), to the face-to-face medical care model, among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) outpatients. We also aim to investigate if adherence to RA-related treatment (considered a surrogate of patient´s education) might be improved when patients are re-integrated to the health care system, irrespective of the health care model. In Mexico, COVID-19 pandemic still uncontrolled. Our Institution provides health care to 1500 RA patients/year and up to August 2020, it is estimated that 500 RA patients might be affected, which is our target audience. Reinstalling institutional health care provision is challenging. This a non-inferiority, cross-over study, with 2 intervention arms. Patients will be randomized to 1. Six months of usual medical care model, followed by 4 months of a control period, and 6 months of hybrid medical care model, or 2. Six months of hybrid medical care model, followed by 4 months of a control period, and 6 months of usual medical care model. The following PROMs will be assessed at specific time points: disease activity/disease severity (RAPID-3), disability (HAQ-DI), quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF), patient satisfaction with the medical care model (questionnaire locally developed), patient´s adherence to medical care (missed scheduled visits) and patient´s adherence to RA-related treatment (the Compliance-Questionnaire).
