To investigate the effect of filgotinib on phenotype, B cell receptor (BCR) usage and functional parameters of circulating B cells expressing ACPA in patients with ACPA-positive RA that show incomplete response to standard, medium-dose methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy.
Aim: A prospective randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing two groups of a cohort of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients with periodontal disease will be carried out to identify if the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy is a predictor of remission/ low disease activity (LDA)-remission. Methods: 42 patients with RA and periodontitis from the RA Almenara cohort will be included (ACR 1987 and or ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria with more than 16 years old at diagnosis); those with <6 teeth, current infections, cancer or oral precancerous lesions, diabetics, Sjogren's syndrome, use of antibiotics or drugs associated with dry mouth and dental surgery, will be excluded. Periodontal Disease was defined by the presence of periodontitis stage 3 or 4 with at least 2 non-adjacent teeth with insertion loss >=5mm, probing depth >=5mm and bleeding on probing according with the 2018 periodontitis diagnostic criteria. Two RA patients groups will be follow up by monthly visits. Patients will be divided into two groups (intervention and no intervention treatment). PD treatment will be performed by a qualified periodontist. No intervention group will receive PD treatment after 6 month visit because ethical principles. Disease activity will be determined according with DAS 28index, Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and Simple Disease Activity Index (SDAI) scores, C-reactive protein (CRP), the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and rheumatoid factor levels will be registered before and after PD treatment (baseline, 3 and 6 months visits), and the differences between the groups will be analyzed and compared. Periodontal parameters including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss, and sulcus bleeding index (SBI) will be correlated with the factor levels.
This is an international, single arm, multicenter, prospective, non-significant risk, Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study. Data will be collected for the commercially available AEQUALIS FLEX REVIVE shoulder system in both the anatomic and reversed configurations. The purpose of this study is to collect data needed to satisfy the European Union (EU) Medical Device Regulation (MDR) clinical post-market surveillance (PMS) and reporting requirements, and to support future regulatory submissions and peer-reviewed publications on device performance and safety.
This is an open-label study to evaluate the effects of bimekizumab in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and who also have active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
This study is a 24-months, non-inferiority randomized, controlled trial with two parallel arms to determine if a new follow-up strategy for patients with RA is non-inferior in maintaining comprehensive disease control measured as simultaneous maintenance of structural, functional and clinical treatment target at 2-year follow-up compared to the conventional follow-up regimen with regular hospital visits.
This is a phase 3 study to compare efficacy and safety of CT-P47 and RoActemra in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis.
This study is to characterize the use of tofacitinib after use of rituximab in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in a real-world setting.
Total knee replacement (TKR) is considered the most effective and safe method of radical treatment of late stages of knee osteoarthritis. A well-known problem of TKR is a severe postoperative pain syndrome, which is observed in more than 50% of patients. Femoral nerve block (FNB) is the "gold standard" for continuous postoperative analgesia after total knee replacement, as it is effective in reducing the frequency of use of opioid analgetics and reduce the duration of hospitalization. At the same time, the negative effect of this method is the motor blockade of the quadriceps femoris muscle which leads to functional impairment and is associated with an increased risk of falling. Adductor canal block (ACB) provides adequate analgesia comparable to femoral nerve block. Moreover, ACB doesn't affect the motor function of the quadriceps femoris muscle. The possibility of enhanced recovery after total knee replacement is the reason to compare single-shot adductor canal block and continuous femoral nerve block.
