Filter by:This is a phase 2, single-center study in patients with active cutaneous DM who have had an inadequate response. An inadequate response is defined as no improvement with standard of care treatment based on the investigator's opinion. All subjects will initially receive baricitinib 2mg daily for 8 weeks. If no unexpected serious adverse events related to baricitinib have occurred during the first 8 weeks of treatment in the opinion of the investigator, the dose will be increased to 4 mg daily for 16 weeks. Visits are scheduled at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 20 weeks, and 24 weeks. Evaluation of primary endpoint occurs at week 24. All subjects receive a phone call from study
This study is a Proof of Concept study aiming to evaluate the production of anti-IFNα antibodies (immune response) in adult subjects with dermatomyositis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate denosumab as a novel treatment for bone loss in children treated with glucocorticoids for rheumatic disorders. This is a pilot Phase 1/2, randomized open-label, 12-month clinical trial of denosumab to assess its effect on bone resorption markers and bone mineral density (BMD) in children with rheumatic disorders, age 4 to 16 years, recruited within 1 month of starting a chronic systemic glucocorticoid regimen. Primary outcomes include suppression of bone turnover markers and safety assessments. Secondary outcomes include changes in bone density as measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) densitometry at the radius and tibia.
