The purpose of this study is: - To elucidate the immunomodulating properties of anti-TNF-α therapy in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). - To ascertain whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a sensitive tool in measuring early response after therapy with anti-TNF-α in the PsA wrist using the Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials (OMERACT) guidelines for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). - To assess whether the lipid and other cardiovascular risk profiles would improve after anti-TNF-α therapy in patients with PsA.
This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, multicentre, prospective dose-finding trial of the safety and efficacy of atacicept in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who had failed a three month therapeutic trial with a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) antagonist due to lack of efficacy.
To further assess the safety and effectiveness of adalimumab 40mg in the treatment PsA who have had an unsatisfactory response or intolerance to prior or ongoing DMARDs
This study is a multi-center, open label, repeated dose, range finding study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of ACZ885, a fully human anti-interleukin-1B (anti-IL-1B) monoclonal antibody, given subcutaneously in pediatric subjects with active SJIA.
The purpose of this study is to further investigate rituximab in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and to evaluate magnetic resonance imaging of the joints as a possible method to improve the evaluation of treatments.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 100, 200, and 300 mg/day doses of RWJ-445380 for up to 12 weeks in patients with active Rheumatoid Arthritis despite methotrexate therapy.
This single arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MabThera in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis whose current treatment with one or more TNF blocker had produced an inadequate response. Patients will receive MabThera (1g infusion) on day 1 and day 15, and will continue on their basic methotrexate therapy (10-25mg/week). The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
The 12-week core study was designed to evaluate risk-benefit of three subcutaneous dose regimens of ACZ885, added on to stable methotrexate (MTX) therapy (greater than or equal to 7.5 mg/week), compared to placebo in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study investigated the magnitude of effect as well as onset of effect for the different dose regimens. The primary objective of the extension studies was to assess long-term safety and tolerability of canakinumab (ACZ885) in patients with active RA. CACZ885A2201E1 evaluated this objective in patients who had participated in the core study (CACZ885A2201) and CACZ885A2201E2 did the same in patients who completed the first extension study.
This study recruits individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and low vitamin D concentrations. Subjects are dosed with vitamin D or placebo for one year. Primary outcome is change in bone turnover markers, additionally, bone mineral density and parameters of RA status are evaluated throughout the study.
