Filter by:CE-224,535 is known to block a chemical that acts as a gateway to some of your immune cells. Blocking this gateway prevents the cells from pushing out 2 chemicals called IL-1 and IL-18 that are known to cause some of the inflammation seen in rheumatoid arthritis. It is hoped that taking this drug will reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ADL5859 in relieving pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared with placebo and naproxen (similar to Aleve®). A second objective is to see whether the effect of ADL5859 differs after a single dose compared with multiple doses.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the effect of 3-month treatment with the combination of 200 mg ofloxacin twice daily and 150 mg roxithromycin twice daily on clinical course of recent-onset reactive arthritis. Patients are followed-up at regular intervals until 6 months. The main outcome measure is recovery from arthritis, and secondary outcome measures include swollen and tender joint counts, Ritchie index, joint pain, serum C-reactive protein level and blood erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The study will also address the safety and tolerability of long-term antibiotic treatment. 56 patients are enrolled and the enrollment of patients has been completed.
The hypothesis of this study is that the p38 inhibitor (PH-797804) will be safe and well tolerated in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis who are taking methotrexate and will not effect the blood levels of methotrexate.
This study assessed the long-term safety and tolerability of ACZ885 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, as well as long-term efficacy, long-term preservation and/or improvement of joint structure and bone mineral density, and long term maintenance of health-related quality of life.
The objective of the observational study is to examine the effect of MOVALIS (Meloxicam) therapy on Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in the diverse region of Central and Eastern Europe. The Medical Outcomes Study 12 Item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) will be used as the instrument to measure any change in physical wellbeing (Physical Component Summary, PCS) and mental wellbeing (Mental Component Summary, MCS) of patients following MOVALIS (Meloxicam) therapy.
Study 1304 is a Phase I dose escalation study conducted in adults with persistent moderate (grade 2) or severe (grade 3) swelling due to inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis) in at least one peripheral joint eligible for injection. Disease must not be severe enough to warrant use of a TNF-alpha antagonist in the next three months. Current use of TNF-alpha antagonists is not permitted. Subjects with rheumatoid arthritis must have had an adequate trial of at least one disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) prior to screening. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of intra-articular administration of tgAAC94.
The main objective of this PMS study was to monitor and assess the safety of Mobic® intramuscular injection (7.5mg ~ 15mg, q.d.) up to 3 days (in case of need for prolonged treatment, switch to Mobic® capsule therapy was possible) in Korean patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The ultimate objective of the proposed research is to improve the health-related quality of life of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis by reducing their risk of developing osteoporosis secondary to glucocorticoid therapy. The study has four specific aims. Specific Aim 1: To obtain descriptive information concerning patients' knowledge, beliefs and behaviors with respect to osteoporosis and osteoporosis prevention. Specific Aim 2: To identify factors that discriminate among patients in different stages of change with respect to each behavior of interest. Specific Aim 3: To compare the effects of tailored versus generic educational materials on patient adherence to the ACR Guidelines for the Prevention of Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis. Specific Aim 4: To determine if the effects of tailored educational materials are enhanced by concurrent feedback of information concerning patients' behavioral risk factor status to their physicians.
The purpose of this study is to find out if 300 mg of BMS-582949 given once daily will be more effective than placebo after 12 weeks of treatment in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis who are also taking methotrexate
