To investigate the effect of CTLA4-Ig (abatacept) on phenotype, transcriptional profile, B cell receptor usage and functional parameters of circulating B cells expressing anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) in patients with early, methotrexate-naïve, ACPA positive rheumatoid arthritis.
A questionnaire for this research is designed, which initiated from TSQM-II treatment satisfaction questionnaire and based on research launched by rheumatology and immunology departments of Chinese 12 public tertiary hospitals distributed directionally by Chinese Rheumatism Data Center (CRDC). The research is about treatment satisfaction and its influencing factors for Chinese rheumatoid immunologists and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients as well as their expectations for treating this disease. This research will explore the matching degree between treatment satisfaction and expectation about rheumatoid arthritis from doctors and patients.
CMAB008 is an infliximab biosimilar candidate. The host cell of Remicade is mouse myeloma SP2/0 cell, however, the host cell of CMAB008 is CHO (Chinese hamster ovary cell). It seems that CMAB008 has lower immunogenicity and higher safety, because Remicade comprises more complex-type and hybrid-type glycans than CMAB008. However, it is not yet known whether CMAB008 is not inferior to Remicade. This randomized, double-blind trial investigates the efficacy and safety of CMAB008 for moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, compared to Remicade.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a persistent systemic disease. WHO (World Health Organization) commented that a crucial goal of heath care for RA is prevention of loss of daily function by patients' self-management (SM) skills; however, a comprehensive rheumatoid arthritis self-management (RASm) for RA patients' day-to-day self-managing is limited in Taiwan. Aims: The aims of the study are: (1) to implement the RASm program, (2) to determine the effectiveness of the program with 6 months follow-up, and (3) to understand participants' experiences when receiving the RASm program for the experimental group.
This is a long-term study of Abatacept in participants that only recently started to develop Rheumatoid Arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting mainly joints.
The study is Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 2 dosing regimens (qw and q2w, s/c) of monoclonal antibody to IL6R (BCD-089) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and inadequate response to methotrexate.
Primary Objective: To assess the effect of sarilumab in combination with conventional synthetic Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (csDMARD) and/or monotherapy on participant-reported impact of disease, using the rheumatoid arthritis impact of disease (RAID) questionnaire, in participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the change of the RAID score from baseline (to Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24) in participants with moderately to severely active RA and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or TNF inhibitors, treated with sarilumab in combination with csDMARD and/or monotherapy. - To assess the effect of sarilumab in combination with csDMARD and/or monotherapy on other participant-reported outcomes (global assessment of disease activity, disability, morning stiffness, fatigue, anxiety/depression, mood disorders, and physical activities) in participants with moderately to severely active RA and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or TNF inhibitors. - To assess the efficacy of sarilumab in combination with csDMARD and/or monotherapy using disease activity score-28 for RA with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and clinical disease activity index in participants with moderately to severely active RA and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or TNF inhibitors. - To assess the safety of sarilumab in combination with csDMARD and/or monotherapy in participants with moderately to severely active RA and inadequate response or intolerance to current csDMARD or TNF inhibitors.
Case management (CM) has been recommended as a way of inspiring measurable changes in individual behaviors and improving clinical outcomes for patients with chronic diseases. However, data on its effectiveness for Taiwanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are limited. This study aimed to determine the long-term effectiveness of CM that focused on nurses' role among Taiwanese RA patients.
Methotrexate (MTX) is the first-line treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In case of MTX failure, it is discussed to start a Biologic Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drug (bDMARDs) according to the latest European recommendations of the EULAR. Before to add a Biologic Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drug (bDMARDs), an objective estimation of MTX impregnation could be carried out by MTX polyglutamates (MTX-PG). In rheumatoid arthritis patients with active disease estimated by DAS28 (Disease activity Score 28)> 3.2 insufficiently controlled by MTX subcutaneously and patients in remission obtained with a DAS 28 <2.6 with methotrexate prescribed since more than 6 months at stable dose for at least 3 months, a concentration of MTX-PG will be achieved.
