Filter by:This is a Phase IIa/b double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO7123520 as adjunctive therapy in participants with RA who are inadequately responding to standard-of-care (methotrexate and anti-TNF-alpha therapy). Part 1 of the study will evaluate safety. Part 2 will evaluate efficacy and safety. Part 3 will evaluate dose-ranging efficacy. Participants will have the option of continuing to the extension period of the study.
GSK3117391 has the potential to complement existing therapies in the treatment of chronic inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral GSK3117391 (Dose A) administered to subjects with severe RA despite treatment with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). This is a randomised, double-blind (sponsor open), multicentre, placebo-controlled, parallel group study. The total maximum study duration is approximately 10 weeks. Following a screening period of up to 28 days, subjects will be randomized (1:1) to placebo or GSK3117391 (Dose A) administered orally for a period of 28 days. Subjects will be followed up for 7 to 14 days post final dose. Approximately 40 subjects with severe RA will be randomised into the study.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in remission with a combination of TNFinhibitors (TNFi) and methotrexate (MTX) often express their wish to stop MTX treatment because of side effects. Given the efficacy of TNFi it is conceivable that in early RA patients in remission with methotrexate (MTX)/TNFi stepwise discontinuation of MTX prior to TNFi is superior in maintaining sustained remission and reaching drug free remission as compared to discontinuation of TNFi prior to MTX. Objective: To investigate whether tapering MTX first, then the TNFi golimumab (GOL), is more efficacious than tapering GOL first, then MTX, in sustaining remission and reaching drug free remission. Study design: multicenter, open label clinical trial in very early RA patients. Remission will be induced by an open label treat-to-target (T2T) remission induction protocol in clinical care: (MTX, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), i.m. glucocorticoids (GC), and, if not in remission, the TNFi golimumab (GOL)) (phase I, 3/4th or 1 year). Patients in sustained remission on MTX/GOL (DAS28<2.6 with max 4 swollen joints of the 44 swollen joint count (SJC) at 2 consecutive visits 3 months apart) will be randomized to taper either MTX first, then GOL or GOL first, then MTX with as primary endpoint sustained (drug free) remission (phase II, 1 year). During 1 year additional follow-up maintenance of drug-free sustained remission will be investigated (phase III). Study population: RA patients fulfilling 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/EUropean League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria for RA, with symptom duration <12 months; naïve for anti-rheumatic drugs and glucocorticoids for RA; DAS28 ≥3.2. Intervention: Patients in sustained remission (defined as DAS28<2.6 with max 4 swollen joints of the 44SJC at ≥ 2 consecutive visits 3 months apart) on MTX/GOL at the end of phase I (after 24 weeks of treatment with MTX/GOL) will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to taper medication as follows: - Taper and stop GOL first during 24 weeks, then, if still in sustained remission, taper and stop MTX during 24 weeks - Taper and stop MTX first during 24 weeks, then, if still in sustained remission, taper and stop GOL during 24 weeks The primary end point is the proportion of patients in sustained remission at week 24 after start of tapering of either MTX or GOL first. The main secondary end point is the proportion of patients in drug-free sustained remission, at week 48 after start of tapering.
RA (Rheuatoid arthritis) is a multisystem disease that mainly involves joints resulting in destructive arthritis if not treated rapidly. Inspite of various advances in field of early diagnosis and treatment of RA, there is still a need for better understanding of the efficacy and safety of various combinations of conventional DMARDS, and to rank them in order accordingly, so as to give a clearer vision for further management of RA once MTX monotherapy fails, so as to achieve remission as soon as possible. The study will be conducted at the Department of Clinical Immunology, JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research). patients who fail methotrexate monotherapy will be randomised to 2 treatment arms - either a combination of Sulfasalazine (SSZ), Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Methotrexate (MTX) or Leflunomide (LEF), Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Methotrexate (MTX)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether sildenafil improves parameters of vascular function and blood markers involved in development of heart disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
This is a phase Ⅱ, placebo-controlled, multicenter, dynamic randomized, double blind study of the efficacy and safety of RC18, a recombinant human B lymphocyte stimulating factor receptor-antibody fusion protein in subjects with inadequate response of TNF-α antagonists due to treat moderate and severe rheumatoid arthritis.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of andecaliximab (GS-5745) versus placebo as an add-on therapy to a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor and methotrexate in adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The main objective of this project is to study, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the effects of an intermittent type exercise associated with cryotherapy on the level of inflammation during its recovery.
This is a Phase I-II open- label single-dose study in subjects with significant refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), relapsing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Sharp's Syndrome (SS). This study will enroll a minimum of 20 subjects for RA, 20 subjects for SLE and 20 patients for SS. 6 week data of serum Tumor Necrosis Factor- alpha (TNFa), Interleukin- 6 (IL-6), C- Reactive Protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Cluster of Differentiation (CD)4 +CD25 + Forkhead box P3(Foxp3) + regulatory T cells, Disease Activity Score for 28 joints (DAS-28) score and pain score will be collected in all patients who are enrolled in the study for the RA group (Baseline and 6 weeks after). For the SLE group, Transforming Growth Factor- beta (TGF-β), TNFa, IL-6, Interleukin- 17 (IL-17), CD3+CD8-IL17A+ T helper-17 (Th17) cells, CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells and the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Quality of Life Questionnaire (SLEQoL) score will be collected in all the subjects of this group. SS group will undergo the assessments of RA and SLE. Prior to the stem cell treatment, the patient will be assessed for 6 weeks by all the previously mentioned markers. Then, patients will receive the infusion of stromal vascular fraction cells containing the adult adipose derived stem cells 'aADSC' (single intravenous dose). The disease- modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or the standard SLE treatment will not be interrupted with the exception of systemic steroids (excluding minimal maintenance dose of one steroid) during the duration of the study. Follow up visits will take place at 6 weeks, 3 Months and 6 Months after the cell infusion. Safety will be monitored on an ongoing basis, and an interim safety review will be conducted by the Investigator(s) and Sponsor after the first 10 patients have been enrolled and treated in each group.
This study is in two parts and will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of escalating single intravenous (IV) doses of ocrelizumab compared with placebo in combination with methotrexate in participants with moderate to severe RA. Part 1 is the dose-escalation study, at one of the following dose levels of ocrelizumab [400, 1000, 1500, and 2000 milligrams (mg)]. In Part 2, participants will be randomized to explore tolerability and efficacy of doses which have been shown to be tolerated in Part 1.
