Filter by:Post-marketing observational study to determine the effectiveness and patient satisfaction with adalimumab treatment in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in relation to utilization of a Patient Support Program (PSP).
This study was designed to evaluate the safety of administering rituximab at a more rapid infusion rate in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to biopharmaceuticals that treat diseases by interfering with tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF therapies), and were receiving methotrexate therapy for more than eight weeks.
Adalimumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) approved in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) refractory to disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and for the treatment of severe, active and progressive RA in adults not previously treated with methotrexate. However, almost one third of patients have no response and approximately 15% develop antibodies towards adalimumab (ATA) after a 6 month course of treatment. There is a relationship between adalimumab concentration and clinical response obtained after 6 month of treatment. Furthermore adalimumab concentration measured 3 months after initiation seems to predict the clinical response at 6 months. There is an important inter individual pharmacokinetic variability of adalimumab. Side effects may occur at the recommended dose and more than 3 months of treatment are generally required to estimate the clinical response. A therapeutic drug monitoring could help clinicians to early adjust the dose to optimize the response and to avoid dose related side effects. To date there is no definite adalimumab target concentration predictive of the clinical response to allow such a pharmacologic monitoring.
This quality improvement project is aimed at improving health care by identifying low cost strategies to get Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients to more effectively communicate with their physicians about osteoporosis prevention and treatment (improving doctor-patient communication). The investigators will implement a direct to patient intervention to the population of interest (patients on chronic glucocorticoids) via story-telling, using an Internet based video. The target audience is people on chronic glucocorticoids not already receiving bones-specific osteoporosis medications to determine differences in post-intervention rates of osteoporosis care, and the rates of prescription anti-osteoporosis therapies.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of secukinumab when added to a background therapy in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are intolerant to or have had an inadequate response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α agents.
This open-label, retrospective, observational study will evaluate the compliance to RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) therapy in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Six months data will be collected from patients records.
The purpose of this study is to conduct an Investigator-Sponsored Study to determine the potential immunomodulatory effects of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) treatment at the site of disease activity (synovial lining) in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), using pre treatment and post treatment arthroscopic synovial biopsies and ex vivo on gene expression.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effective dose of BMS-945429 in subjects with inadequate response to Methotrexate in the treatment of moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this dose-escalating trial is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the body eliminates the trial drug) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of single and repeated doses of NNC141-0100 in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Thus study will test an experimental drug called Z-102 (combination of prednisolone and dipyridamole) to treat patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.
