Filter by:This phase 1 study will consist of two parts: Phase 1a is a single-dose study, and will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary pharmacodynamics (PD) in healthy participants. Phase 1b is a multiple doses study, and will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary PD in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of hydroxypropyl guar-and hyaluronic acid containing lubricant eye drops in rheumatoid arthritis patients . The main question it aims to answer is: • whether adding hydroxypropyl guar-and hyaluronic acid containing lubricant eye drops to steroid-based dry eye therapy improves dry eye symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis patients after 1 month. Participants with rheumatoid arthritis will be treat with SYSTANE™ Hydration Lubricant Eye Drops (1-2 drops 4 times a day) and 0.1% Fluorometholone (1-2 drops 3 times a day) in both eyes for 12 weeks
This study will test the safety and effects of SBT777101 when given as a single dose to subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. It is the first study of this treatment being done in humans. Increasing dose levels will be given after the safety at lower dose levels is shown.
Studies have reported that individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis have a smaller muscle cross-sectional area, pennation angle and muscle thickness than healthy controls. Sarcopenia may decrease physical performance and quality of life in individuals with RA. Therefore, morphologic changes in the quadriceps femoris muscle due to sarcopenia may help us to gain insight into physical function and quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the predictive capacity of morphologic characteristics of the quadriceps femoris muscle for disease activity, physical performance, and quality of life in women with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The main objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of si-544. Other objectives are to study the metabolism of si-544 in the body and to assess the effects of si-544 on cells of the body's immune system (immune cells) that have been chronically activated by the disease. Likewise, the effect of si-544 on inflammatory responses in the body triggered by the disease and other disease symptoms will be investigated.
The management of rheumatoid arthritis is based on the prescription of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to induce clinical and biological remission. If the first line of treatment (methotrexate) fails, a biotherapy may be prescribed. In daily practice, the initiation of a targeted therapy must therefore be based on the prescriber's expertise or qualification in terms of his or her level of experience in the diagnosis and management of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. As the therapeutic arsenal has expanded, so has the question of choosing the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. At present, in daily practice, there is no tool to help clinicians predict treatment efficacy. The choice of biotherapy based on efficacy carries relatively little weight, firstly because this choice is made in relation to other biotherapies, and secondly because there are no superiority studies that have actually demonstrated greater efficacy in favor of one of the targeted therapies. In the age of Big Data, artificial intelligence can be used to develop algorithms for predicting treatment response. mYXpression has developed medical decision support software based on the integration of transcriptomic markers to assess the probability of response and/or non-response to biotherapies for each patient. The algorithm's performance was theoretically tested by retrospectively collecting transcriptomic data and clinical responses to 6 biotherapies from 992 patients included in 17 clinical trials or cohorts. The aim of this observational study is to demonstrate the value of PEAR 2.0 medical decision support software in the management of rheumatoid arthritis patients who are candidates for biotherapy.
This is a prospective multicenter study in southern Belgium to determine the prevalence and incidence of interstitial lung disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The aim of this project is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a virtual group based self-management program (SMP) in adolescents with JIA across different provinces compared to a wait-list control group receiving only standard of care. Participants in the SMP group will partake in four 60-90 minute group sessions conducted over 8 weeks. The intervention is a multifaceted program that includes JIA disease education, self-management strategies, and peer support. Both the interventional and control group will be asked to complete baseline and post-test measures. Participants in the control group will be offered the SMP after completion of the post-control outcome measures.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of home-based exercise program versus personalized IVR exergame (Fit-XR) program on physical fitness, functional capacity and physical activity in adolescents with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Patients followed up by four tertiary pediatric rheumatology centers will be included in the project. Two different exercise programs will be applied to the patients by experienced physiotherapists. Fit-XR program will be 25-30 minutes a day and will be applied 2 days a week for 8 weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist in the clinic. The total points obtained by the participants during the FiT-XR games will be recorded after each training session. In the second group, a personalized multicomponent (balance, strength, agility, endurance) home- based exercise program will be applied according to the physical fitness level of the children.
The primary working hypothesis of this study is whether KeriFlex® metacarpophalangeal joint prostheses provide an equivalent result to Swanson finger joint implants in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Functional status will be measured by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire no earlier than 1 year after surgery.
