Filter by:This is an open-label program of Remicade in the treatment of patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite treatment with methotrexate (MTX) to determine the onset of efficacy of infliximab.
The primary purpose of this observational study is to describe and define the current daily practice of management of anti-TNF-agents in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients. Data will be collected only from subjects providing informed consent.
This is an observational study of composite indices, including the CLARA (CLinical ARthritis Activity) index, in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in routine clinical practice in Italy in order to evaluate clinical remission and low disease activity. Data will be collected only from patients providing informed consent. In this study we aimed to assess the psychometric properties of a new composite instrument termed CLinical ARthritis Activity (PRO-CLARA) that uses only three PRO measures from among the 7 ACR Core Data Set. We hypothesized that this index would facilitate rapid and easy RA activity assessment in daily routine.
Compare two care management support program models on medical costs and utilization.
This study will evaluate the effect of exercise on the number of swollen and tender joints associated with rheumatoid arthritis after a 12 week exercise program of treadmill walking and weightlifting.
The objective of this trial is to investigate the efficacy (American College of Rheumatology 20% : ACR20) superiority of two dose regiments of CDP870 versus placebo in combination with MTX in active RA patients who have an incomplete response to MTX. The pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity profile of CDP870 will also be investigated to assess the extrapolability of foreign data to the Japanese population.
The objectives of this study are to verify the superiority in efficacy (American College of Rheumatology 20%: ACR20) and investigate the pharmacokinetics and safety of CDP870 versus placebo without coadministration of MTX in active RA patients in whom MTX cannot be administrated.
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is an NIH Roadmap initiative to develop a computerized system measuring patient-reported outcomes in respondents with a wide range of chronic diseases and demographic characteristics. In the first four years of its existence, the PROMIS network developed item banks for measuring patient-reported outcomes in the areas of pain, fatigue, emotional distress, physical function, and social functioning. During the item banking process, the PROMIS network conducted focus groups, individual cognitive interviews, and lexile (reading level) analyses to refine the meaning, clarity, and literacy demands of all items. The item banks were administered to over 20,000 respondents and calibrated using models based on item response theory (IRT). Using these IRT calibrations, computerized adaptive test (CAT) algorithms were developed and implemented. The network has designed a series of studies using clinical populations to evaluate the item attributes, examine their utility as CATs, and validate the item banks. More information on the PROMIS network can be found at www.nihpromis.org.
To assess the efficacy of LY2127399 versus placebo using American College of Rheumatology (ACR)50 response scale at 24 weeks
The purpose of this study is to compare bowel function/constipation that occurs during tapentadol treatment with that occuring during oxycodone treatment, as measured by the frequency of spontaneous bowel movements per week. The frequency of spontaneous bowel movements will be determined from a Bowel Function Patient Diary completed by the enrolled sujbects.
