Filter by:The goal of this non interventional study is to evaluate the use of Tyenne, a tocilizumab biosimilar, in a real world setting in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients over a period of 12 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the patients' persistence on Tyenne (patient's ability to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration), 6 months after treatment start? - What is the patients' persistence on Tyenne (patient's ability to continue the treatment for the prescribed duration), 12 months after treatment start? The decision of prescribing Tyenne will be done by the physician independently, prior to patient enrolment in the study. Enrolled patients will be followed for 12 months following Tyenne treatment start, or until they permanently discontinue Tyenne. There will be one baseline visit and three follow-up visits at approximately 3, 6 and 12 months after Tyenne treatment initiation. All follow-up visits will be conducted according to the physician current clinical practice and are not imposed due to this protocol.

Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterised by the destruction of the soft and hard tissues supporting the tooth, including alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and cementum. Periodontitis has been associated with different host characteristics such as diabetes or neutrophil disorders and environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption and stress. On the other hand, periodontal bacterial infection triggers a systemic immune response that is associated with an increased risk of different disorders such as bacterial pneumonia, cardiovascular disease and autoimmune diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a severe chronic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, characterised by symmetrical, erosive synovitis of the joints, sometimes with multisystem organ involvement, joint destruction and excessive bone loss. Although the etiology of RA is unknown, it is thought to occur in individuals with genetic predisposition as a result of exposure to various environmental factors. RA and periodontitis are chronic destructive inflammatory diseases with common genetic and environmental risk factors, pathogenesis mechanisms and complex multifactorial pathological processes. Several studies suggest that periodontitis, a common inflammatory disease of the periodontium surrounding the teeth and triggered by bacteria in the mouth, is associated with RA and may initiate and worsen inflammation in RA. Non-surgical periodontal treatment (COPT), which is considered the gold standard in the treatment of periodontitis with hand instruments and ultrasonic instruments, has been shown to provide significant improvements in the clinical outcomes of periodontitis patients with RA. COPT is performed to stop the progression of periodontal diseases. Considering the studies supporting the bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and RA, it is thought that COPT may affect the clinical and biochemical values of RA. Based on these points, the aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between serum and salivary ANGPTL-4, MMP-13, TNF-α and IL-6 levels and periodontal disease in individuals with RA and to evaluate the effects of COPT on RA disease severity in vivo.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition, causing inflammation and pain. Yet pain may persist even when inflammation has been treated. This residual pain, called nociplastic pain, has symptoms of a chronic pain condition called fibromyalgia. There are few effective therapies to address this residual pain. Published literature shows that fibromyalgia can be treated by neurofeedback, a noninvasive method that is based on the voluntary modulation of cortical activity. In this pilot study, the investigators want to test the effect of neurofeedback on the fibromyalgia component of pain in rheumatoid arthritis, and also to investigate its effects on related symptoms such as fatigue and sleep disturbance.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can affect various organs, including the lungs, and lead to rheumatoid arthritis-interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). RA-ILD is responsible for increased mortality in rheumatoid arthristis (RA) patients. The prevalence of RA-ILD varies according to the screening tool used. The current gold standard is chest CT, but this is an expensive, time-consuming and irradiating examination, and recommendations on when and how often it should be performed are not clearly established. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an emerging tool for the detection of lung parenchymal damage, particularly in systemic scleroderma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). LUS is a non-irradiating, non-expensive examination that can be performed rapidly. The aim of our study is to evaluate LUS as a screening tool for RA-ILD, in patients with risk factors for developing RA-ILD.
An ongoing long-term cohort study is conducted in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, that is dedicated to recruiting RA patients, to identify the development of clinical, neuroimaging, and biochemical biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of RA, especially for those with sarcopenia/myopenia To improve the prognosis of RA, this study includes the following objectives: 1. Construct a useful database to explore the secular dynamic progress of RA, especially the difference between early and lately RA, as well as to improve our understanding of the life-course factors affecting the process that will facilitate future research activities. 2. Identify the potential markers (clinical, biomedical and imaging) affecting/predicting the development process of sarcopenia/myopenia or other prognosis in RA patients. 3. Develop the related multi-modal prediction models with clinical, biomedical and imaging variables to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of RA.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic auto-inflammatory disorder which imposes a remarkable burden of morbidity and mortality on global health. The complex interaction between genetics, environment, and immunological response contribute to RA pathogenesis. Current treatment comprises conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) followed by biological DMARDs, if necessary, to achieve low disease activity or remission. Therapeutics used in RA had limitations in tolerability, access, and response duration and magnitude. Consequently, implementation of safe adjunctive treatment for RA is urgently needed to boost the therapeutic response.
Evaluation of resistive index on the renal artery as early predictor factor of renal affection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The purpose of this Non-inferiority Randomized Clinical Trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of RHEUPP App during telehealth follow-up in a population of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients from a Tertiary Rheumatology Service in South Brazil. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Using RHEUPP App in telemedicine is not inferior to usual care in terms of means obtained by CDAI. Participants will be stratified by CDAI and then randomized 1:1 for intervention or control group. They will be evaluated at study starting, in 3 and 6 months, an extended evaluation after 12 months of recruitment is predicted. Researchers will compare intervention and control group to detect differences between usual care and Telehealth follow-up and determine if the last is not less effective in our study population of rheumatic patients.
The goal of this prospective single-arm open-label trial is to learn about efficacy and safety of Bortezomib in treating patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is Bortezomib an effective treatment option for patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis? - Is Bortezomib safe enough in treating patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis? Participants will: - Receive Bortezomib 2 mg per week subcutaneously for twelve weeks in total. - Follow-up at weeks 4, 12, and 24, while biosamples will be collected.
