Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess early signs of response to abatacept+methotrexate in metacarpophalangeal joints in both hands using power Doppler ultrasonography in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Encore Mobile-Bearing Knee.
The Swefot trial was designed to compare two treatment strategies for patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (less than 1 year symptom duration): the use of a combination of traditional antirheumatic medications (DMARDs), versus a combination including a newer "biological" anti-TNF medication. In order to make this trial consistent with current practices in rheumatology, all patients were first given the most commonly used antirheumatic medication, methotrexate (MTX). After 3-4 months those patients who had not responded adequately to this treatment were randomized to receive either MTX plus sulfasalazine plus hydroxychloroquine, or MTX plus infliximab. Again, to be truly life-like, the trial allowed patients who could not tolerate one of the added medications to switch in treatment - but keeping with the same strategy - so that sulfasalazine plus hydroxychloroquine could be replaced by cyclosporin A, and infliximab by etanercept. The primary outcome in this trial was the percentage of patients who, after one year of treatment, achieved a "good response" as defined by Eular.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the survivorship and efficacy of the Encore 3DKnee™ system in a group of patients who will receive the 3DKnee™ as a primary (first) orthopedic implant in the knee. Each knee will be designated as a separate subject and followed for a period of 2 years.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CeramTec Acetabular Alumina Insert and CeramTec Alumina head when used with the Foundation Porous Coated Acetabular Shell and an Encore hip stem.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a form of arthritis that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. Over time, joint deformity, joint destruction, and loss of function can occur. Current treatment aims to improve symptoms, but there is no cure for the disease. Pioglitazone is drug that is effective in treating people with diabetes. This study will determine whether pioglitazone can also be used to effectively treat people with RA.
The purpose of this study is to compare healthy children to children who have a chronic illness called Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). JIA is a childhood disease that causes swollen joints that are often stiff and painful. JIA affects about 1 in 1,000 children age 16 and younger.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of TAK-783, once daily (QD), taken in combination with methotrexate in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TAK-715, twice daily (BID), in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis signs and symptoms in patients with a partial response to methotrexate.
The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of infliximab injection under actual conditions of use in participants, and to learn more about its adverse events.
