Filter by:This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of baricitinib in patients with adult idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM). Half of the patients enrolled onto the study will receive 24 weeks of baricitinib from the baseline visit with a 12 week follow-up period. The other half of patients will receive 24 weeks of barcitinib treatment after an initial 12-week delay with a 4 week follow up period for safety.
1. To assess changes in impedance parameters in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (IIMs). 2. To assess whether EIM parameters are reflective of disease severity, based on clinical outcome measures of IIMs.
The principal objective of the study is to compare between CT and MRI diagnostic performance (sensibility and specificity) in the preoperative assessment of neurogenic para-osteo-arthritis. The second objectives of the study are: - besides the diagnostic performance (sensibility and specificity), to evaluate the imaging par MRI in visual and descriptive manner heterotopic ossification and connection with vascular and nervous structures. - to study the concordance (two by two) of results of preoperative obtained by MRI and by CT and operative reports. - to study the characteristics of patients with discordant findings (two by two) by MRI, CT scan and operative report.
The aim of our study is to Assess skeletal muscle structural status in children with inflammatory myositis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy using musculoskeletal ultrasound and to perform a longitudinal follow up of these changes over 2 years and to assess the relation between these findings with clinical parameters, functional scales, biochemical and electromyographic tests.
To evaluate the effects of PCSO-524®, and a blend of PCSO-24® (75%) and krill oil (25%) (ESPO-572®), on indirect markers of muscle damage, inflammation and soreness during recovery from muscle damaging exercise in untrained men.
This study is designed to explore the expression of cell-surface markers in the following seven disease areas: (a) systemic lupus erythematosus, (b) Sjogren's syndrome, (c) multiple sclerosis, (d) systemic sclerosis, (e) Crohn's disease, (f) ulcerative colitis and (g) inflammatory myositis.
Exercise is an important part of therapy guidelines in the rehabilitation of rare diseases (RDs) as Haemophilia and Myositis. The aim of this study is not to evaluate a new therapy intervention, but to evaluate the delivery of this intervention. In clinical practice, patients are usually instructed to perform an exercise program at home. Normally, a physiotherapist (PT) provides an instruction (paper-) sheet. In this study, the investigators evaluate the feasibility of an interactive tablet-based way of delivery. The exercise program is - as usual in physiotherapy - individually tailored by the PT.
The primary aim of this study is to assess the changes in the impedance parameters of muscles in inclusion body myositis (IBM) through electrical impedance myography (EIM), an emerging non-invasive electrodiagnostic technology. Muscle impedance parameters can potentially serve as an objective biomarker reflecting disease progression and severity.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) might have high grade immune-related adverse events (irAEs) from rhumatologic, endocrinologic, cardiac or other system origin. This study investigates reports of drug induced irAEs with treatment including anti-PD1, Anti-PDL-1, and Anti-CTLA4 classes using the World Health Organization (WHO) database VigiBase and the french database Base Nationale de PharmacoVigilance (BNPV).
A study looking at the effect of pioglitazone in skeletal muscle of patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM).
