Filter by:In this study, patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who are being treated with methotrexate will receive 2 intravenous treatments with either PF-05280586 or Rituxan (Rituximab) or MabThera (Rituximab). During the course of the study, the effects of the drugs will be assessed by sampling the levels of drug in the blood, blood cell counts, and by comparing these levels among the different treatments. Safety, tolerability and immunologic response also will be evaluated throughout.
This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) for sustaining clinical response achieved in study RA0055 Period 1 [NCT01519791]. Subjects entering this study RA0055 Period 2 achieved sustained Low Disease Activity at Week 52 in study RA0055 Period 1.
People affected by rheumatoid arthritis are often suffering from fatigue and decreased QOL. In this study we are measuring the impact of SC biologics on these parameters.
This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) for inducing and sustaining clinical response in the treatment of Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drug (DMARD)-naïve adults with early active Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The primary objective of this cross-sectional observational real life study is to investigate the patient reported adherence to PPI, when prescribed as prevention of NSAID associated GI Ulcers to patients prescribed a NSAID. Patients included have Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis or Ankylosing Spondylitis. Adherence will be assessed by patient questionnaires.
Phase 1 study to describe pharmacokinetics of CP-690,550 in pediatric patients 2 to less than 18 years of age with Juvenile Idiopathic Rheumatoid Arthritis (JIA).
The most common pain-relievers used by patients with rheumatic disorders are called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs are effective and well documented, but they can cause ulcers and gastrointestinal side effects. Vimovo™ is a tablet containing naproxen (NSAID) and a gastroprotective agent called esomeprazole. Patients with rheumatic disorders, who are at risk for developing gastrointestinal side effects, and where lower doses of naproxen or other NSAID treatment is not considered sufficient, could use this tablet. The regulatory authorities in many European countries have approved the use of Vimovo™, but they would like to understand how various factors influence the doctors' decision to prescribe the tablet and what is characterizing the patients receiving it. The aim of the study is to answer these questions.
This study is to assess efficacy and safety of tacrolimus in active rheumatoid arthritis patients who showed unsuccessful response to existing DMARDs.
Herpes Zoster (shingles) is caused by reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus (VZV) that usually occurs decades following initial exposure. The risk of developing shingles increases with age. Shingles presents as a painful, itchy blistering rash that usually involves a single portion of the skin and lasts about 7-10 days. The risk of developing shingles increases with age in healthy people, and has been shown in some studies to be increased in people with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. Zostavax, a live-attenuated vaccine against the varicella zoster virus, was first approved by the FDA for the prevention of Shingles among people 60 years and older, and is now approved for use in people aged 50 years and older. Because rheumatoid arthritis and some of the medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis can impair the body's immune system, it is not known how much of an immune response can be generated in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The goals of this study are to measure the immune response after standard vaccination with Zostavax in people with rheumatoid arthritis in comparison to people with healthy immune systems. All participants will be 50 years old or older, and subjects with rheumatoid arthritis will not be eligible if they are taking certain biologic medications, including TNF inhibitors (Etanercept or Adalimumab). Ten healthy subjects and 10 subjects with rheumatoid arthritis will all receive a single vaccination with Zostavax, then will be followed for 12 weeks to assess the immune response and for the development of local rash or other potential side effects.
This study will compare injection site pain levels between current Humira® formulation versus a new formulation of Humira in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), who are either currently on a stable dose (minimum six consecutive doses) of on-label Humira or biological naïve who will be prescribed on-label Humira as treatment for their Rheumatoid Arthritis. The study is being conducted in three countries, Australia (3 sites), Canada (2 sites), and Germany (2 sites).
