Filter by:To investigate if electronic reporting of patient reported outcome measures from home is comparable to the traditional touch-screen solution to hospital among patients with rheumatoid arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate efficacy, including effects on inflammation by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments, of secukinumab on Achilles tendon enthesitis for up to 1 year with a primary focus at Week 24, in patients with active Psoriatic Arthritis and axial Spondyloarthritis despite current or previous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and/or disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) and/or anti-TNFα therapy.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug known as ixekizumab in biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) naïve participants with nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nonrad-axSpA).
Rationale: Recent investigations suggest that, through certain concentration/meditation techniques, it is possible to modulate autonomic activity. The results of a recent randomized controlled trial investigating the "Wim Hof Method" have shown a direct biological effect on in-vivo cytokine production and are strongly encouraging the clinical evaluation of the technique's efficacy in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Objective: To investigate whether an add-on mindset & physical therapy program based on the "Wim Hof Method" can safely and efficaciously be applied in patients with active axial spondyloarthritis. Study design: Prospective open-label randomized controlled trial, safety and efficacy. Study population: Twenty-four patients with active axial spondyloarthritis between 18 and 45 years of age. Intervention: A 30-day training program of add-on mindset and physical therapy for axial spondyloarthritis, using the methodology as designed and instructed by Wim Hof. It involves breathing techniques, training of mindset and concentration, and gradual cold exposure. Main study parameters/endpoints: Safety evaluation of the program is the primary aim of the study. Secondary endpoint is the modulation of serum CRP levels. Exploratory objectives include modulation of clinical disease activity (ASDAS), quality of life (SF-36, EQ-5D), depressive symptoms (HADS), and predictive role of generalized and specific outcome expectancies (EPQ-N, LOT-R, VAS scales).
Patients with active Axial Spondyloarthritis without x-ray evidence of Ankylosing Spondylitis and with signs of inflammation will be randomly assigned to receive certolizumab pegol (CZP) 200 mg every two weeks or placebo. The primary objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of CZP in these patients.
The purpose of this non-interventional study is to evaluate the efficacy of etanercept during routine clinical use over a maximum of 12 months in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis(PsA), axial spondyloarthritis(axSpA) or plaque psoriasis (PsO). In so doing, particular attention will be paid to the proportion of those patients who only attain the desired treatment goal after 12 weeks of treatment. The primary efficacy end point for the study is the proportion of patients who attain the desired treatment goal after 12 and 24 weeks,
Giving both the gap existing between the current recommendations to prevent/detect comorbidities and the clinical practice in patients suffering from spondyloarthritis and also the specificity of some recommendations to rheumatic diseases, it seems logical to check these recommendations in a rheumatologic "environment". This study with its two parts should be able to demonstrate: - The importance of a systematic evaluation of comorbidities in Spondyloarthritis, - The utility of a nurse-led program of self-assessment and self-management of the disease
The overall aim of this multicenter randomised controlled trial (RCT) is to investigate if exercise can modify the disease course and prevent comorbidity in patient with spondyloarthritis (SpA).
The primary purpose is to assess the effectiveness of certolizumab pegol in patients with axial spondyloarthritis under routine clinical practice.
The following study investigates the role of information/expectancies in the response to Ibumetin and placebo. The study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial with crossover, within subjects repeated measurements. The symptoms are measured by questionnaires. 40 patients will be included in the study. The administrated drug is Ibumetin 400 mg. The study does not require patients to meet in the clinic. Patients will be instructed in how to report pain, tension and nervousness via mobile phone (Checkware AS, Trondheim, Norway).Three days a week for 12 weeks the patients are instructed to report at 0900 AM, and thereafter at 0910, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 1900 hrs each study day. At these times the patients will receive a sms where they are instructed to immediately rate their pain and stress level and report back.
