Filter by:An interventional Phase 4 open-label, randomized, controlled, parallel-group, multi-country study in participants with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) consisting of 2 parts: Part 1 (Day 1 up to Week 16) is designed to compare the achievement of minimal disease activity (MDA) between participants randomized to either adalimumab in combination with methotrexate (MTX) or MTX alone escalated to the highest recommended or tolerable dose; Part 2 (Week 16 through Week 32) is designed to evaluate the maintenance or achievement of MDA on 4 different treatment regimens using adalimumab and/or MTX, with participant allocation based on the initial randomized treatment and achievement of MDA in Part 1, and with rescue treatment option.
This prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study will enroll participants from routine clinical practice in Germany who are receiving tocilizumab for RA. The objective of the study is systematic collection of data on use of tocilizumab in daily routine with special emphasis on treatment decision by the prescriber, compliance with Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), and documentation of relevant activity scores and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The maximum observation period will be 12 months per participant.
It is important that patients who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) have their disease monitored at an early stage, as well as when it is established. Presently, if a patient is to be assessed by means of disease activity scores and blood tests, they must attend a hospital appointment, which can be difficult for patients who live far from the clinic. It would be beneficial to be able to monitor and reliably define and report a disease 'flare' at home. Quite often, by the time the patient attends for an appointment, flare ups have subsided. This study will evaluate the possibility for patients to take their own blood samples in the comfort of their own home, by transferring finger prick blood droplets to a dried blood spot sample (DBSS) card. Patients would then send the cards to the laboratory to test for clinically relevant protein markers. The feasibility of 'remote' monitoring of the patient's disease will be explored.
The purpose of this study is to to assess the safety and tolerability of pirfenidone 2403 mg/day for the treatment of RA-associated interstitial lung disease.
This study is designed to explore the activity of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling pathway in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the potential impact of inhibition of this axis by GSK3196165, and to evaluate whether there are any differences in the GM-CSF axis between subjects with early RA compared with those with more established disease. This study also aims to establish the potential impact of GSK3196165 on inflammatory structural joint damage in the hand/wrist using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This is a randomized Phase IIa, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study. Approximately 40 subjects with active RA despite treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (including conventional or biologic) will be randomized into the study, following a screening period of up to 6 weeks. The total treatment period is up to 10 weeks, with a 12-week follow-up period after the last dose (Week 22).
To demonstrate that the efficacy of secukinumab 300 mg at Week 16 was superior to placebo in adult patients with active PsA based on the proportion of patients achieving an American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) response.
This retrospective cohort study will analyze data from multiple large U.S. health insurance claims databases to compare use of tocilizumab to other biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in real world patients with RA. Using the date of dispensing as the index date, the analysis will compute the time to first event for several cardiovascular outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)-related antibodies and periodontal inflammation in subjects at-risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Subjects will undergo periodontal and joint examinations, as well as collection of body fluids to measure Rheumatoid Arthritis-related antibodies.
This trial is designed to determine what effects the human body has on the investigational medicine, ABP 798, and what effects the body has on the investigational medicine after you have been given it, and if this is comparable to what is seen for the licensed medicine, rituximab, in patients with moderate or severe RA. This study will also assess if the investigational medicine is safe and effective in treating moderate or severe RA compared to the licensed medicine.
The aim of Patient-Centred Innovations for Persons With Multimorbidity (PACE in MM) study is to reorient the health care system from a single disease focus to a multimorbidity focus; centre on not only disease but also the patient in context; and realign the health care system from separate silos to coordinated collaborations in care. PACE in MM will propose multifaceted innovations in Chronic Disease Prevention and Management (CDPM) that will be grounded in current realities (i.e. Chronic Care Models including Self-Management Programs), that are linked to Primary Care (PC) reform efforts. The study will build on this firm foundation, will design and test promising innovations and will achieve transformation by creating structures to sustain relationships among researchers, decision-makers, practitioners, and patients. The Team will conduct inter-jurisdictional comparisons and is mainly a Quebec (QC) - Ontario (ON) collaboration with participation from 3 other provinces: British Columbia (BC); Manitoba (MB); and Nova Scotia (NS). The Team's objectives are: 1) to identify factors responsible for success or failure of current CDPM programs linked to the PC reform, by conducting a realist synthesis of their quantitative and qualitative evaluations; 2) to transform consenting CDPM programs identified in Objective 1, by aligning them to promising interventions on patient-centred care for multimorbidity patients, and to test these new innovations' in at least two jurisdictions and compare among jurisdictions; and 3) to foster the scaling-up of innovations informed by Objective 1 and tested/proven in Objective 2, and to conduct research on different approaches to scaling-up. This registration for Clinical Trials only pertains to Objective 2 of the study.
