Filter by:Chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) - including inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), rheumatic conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis), inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa) and non-infectious uveitis are treated with biologics targeting the pro-inflammatory molecule tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF), i.e. TNF inhibitors. Up to one third of the patients do, however, not respond to biologics and lifestyle is assumed to affect the treatment outcome. However, little is known on the effects of lifestyle as a prognostic factor (possibly enabling personalised medicine). The aims of this multidisciplinary collaboration are to identify lifestyle factors that support individualised forecasting of optimised treatment outcome on these costly drugs. This prospective cohort study will enrol CID patients assigned for biologic treatment. At baseline (Pre-treatment), patient characteristics are assessed using patient-reported outcome measures and clinical assessments on disease activity, quality of life, and lifestyle together with registry data on comorbidity and medication. Follow-up will be conducted at week 14-16 after treatment initiation (according to the current Danish standards). Evaluation of a successful treatment outcome response will - for each disease - be based on most frequently used primary endpoints; the major outcome of the analyses will be to detect differences in treatment outcome between patients with specific lifestyle characteristics. The overarching goal of this project is to improve the lives of patients suffering from CID, by providing evidence to support dietary recommendations likely to improve the clinical outcome. The study is approved by the local Ethics Committee (S-20160124) and the local Data Agency (2008-58-035). The study findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, via patient associations, and presented at national and international conferences.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of adalimumab produced by CinnaGen company and AbbVie adalimumab in subjects with active Rheumatoid Arthritis. Patients with the diagnosis of active Rheumatoid arthritis according to EULAR criteria (European League Against Rheumatism) aged between 18 to 75 years will be included. This study is a Phase III, randomized, two arms, double-blind (patient and assessor blinded), parallel active-controlled non-inferiority clinical trial. The eligible patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive CinnoRA® or Humira®. Every two weeks, 40 mg of either of the drugs will be administered to each patient subcutaneously along with methotrexate (15 mg/week), folic acid (1 mg/day), and prednisolone (7.5 mg/day) over six months. The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of test- adalimumab (CinnoRA®) and the reference adalimumab (Humira®) in patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis regarding the evaluation of EULAR criteria based on Disease activity score (DAS). The secondary objectives of this study are: - To further compare the efficacy of test- adalimumab to reference adalimumab - To assess the safety of test- adalimumab compared to reference adalimumab
CR6086 is a new, potent and selective, orally available, small molecule prostaglandin EP4 receptor antagonist, endowed with immunomodulatory properties. The pharmacological properties of CR6086, along with its oral bioavailability, predictable pharmacokinetics and good safety, make it the ideal candidate to be tested alone or in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with early Rheumatoid Arthritis who are naïve to Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs). The compound has indeed the potential to provide a safer and more effective treatment than MTX (or other conventional synthetic DMARDs - csDMARDs), and could significantly improve the proportion of responder patients and avoid/delay the recourse to biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) or targeted synthetic DMARDs (tsDMARDs).
Assessment of the adjuvant use Niclosamide With Etanercept in Rheumatoid Arthritis
A study to evaluate safety and tolerability and characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of rozibafusp alfa following multiple dose administration in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
This is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab (162 milligrams [mg] every 2 weeks [Q2W]) given as monotherapy and in combination with MTX versus MTX given as monotherapy, in participants with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have inadequate response to current DMARD therapy. The study comprises a 24-week double-blind treatment phase, followed by a 24-week extension phase.
The investigators propose to identify changes in cytokines like adipocytokines and microRNA (miR) expression (for example miR-9, miR-16, miR-125, miR-132, miR-146a, miR-150, miR-155, miR-181 and miR-223) in peripheral blood leukocytes and in serum samples obtained from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients before and after tocilizumab treatment. The results obtained will be compared to gender- and age-matched healthy controls, and will help the investigators define one or more miRNAs as biomarkers for treatment effectiveness. Methods The investigators will obtain blood samples from 60 RA patients treated with tocilizumab, according to the local clinical guidelines. Blood samples will be collected before treatment, as well as one and four months following tocilizumab treatment. The blood samples will initially undergo microarray analysis and then the results will be confirmed for specific miRNAs by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The serum level of the tested cytokines, like adipokines, will be measured using ELISA methods. The changes in cytokines level and miRNAs expression, either up-regulation or down-regulation, during tocilizumab therapy will be correlated to the severity of the disease and to specific demographic and medical data. The results obtained will be compared to 60 healthy controls gender- and age-matched
This is a Phase I/III Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics and Safety between CT-P13 SC and CT-P13 IV in Patients with Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Regular physical activity is important for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sleep requirements for adults should be on a 'sleep needs spectrum' of between 7 to 9 hours per day. Poor sleep is a common complaint among people with RA, which may have an effect on their activity levels and well-being. There is evidence that physical activity and exercise can improve sleep quality and disturbances in other chronic disease populations therefore, examining how same affects sleep in RA is important.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects 1 percent of the population worldwide and up to 40 percent of patients don't respond to current treatments. MBS2320, the drug being tested in this trial, represents a new approach to treating RA, with the potential not only to reduce levels of inflammation but to also directly prevent bone damage.The aim of this project is to test the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MBS2320 in patients with RA in combination with an existing treatment, methotrexate.
