Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate equivalence of the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of MSB11022 administered by either an auto-injector (AI) or a pre-filled syringe (PFS) as single subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of 40 mg.
This is a 52 week Phase 2b study designed to evaluate the efficacy at 16 weeks and to evaluate the safety and efficacy up to 1 year in subjects with active psoriatic arthritis.
The aim of this observational study will be to recruit 100 Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) patients beginning on their biologic therapy and asses, both clinically and with the use of ultrasound (US), how enthesitis responds to biologic treatment. The decision to start treatment with a biologic therapy will be made by the patients' usual clinical rheumatology team, as part of their standard clinical care. This is independent of the study. Patients in whom treatment with these drugs for their PsA has been recommended will then be invited to participate in this study.They will then be commenced on biologic therapy at doses in line with the Summary of Product characteristics (SPC) for the product and followed up in the hospital outpatient clinic. Patients will have a full history taken and clinical exam performed prior to commencing on their prescribed biologic. The patient's history, Health Assessment Questionnaire scores and biobanking samples will be taken by the co-investigator. They will also calculate the patients tender and swollen joint score, dactylitis score, skin score, nail score and clinical enthesitis score.They will then have their tender entheseal points scanned as well as those as per the MASEI (Madrid Sonographic Enthesitis Index ) protocol by a single rheumatologist. The rheumatologist will be trained in ultrasound and will perform the scans blinded to this information both at initial consultation and at subsequent reviews. The patient will then commence their biologic treatment as planned at a separate review as per usual practise with their clinical team. Follow-up and final assessment at 4 months (±2 weeks) after starting biologic will include the clinical and ultrasound assessments as per the initial review and outlined in the schedule of assessments. They will also have a final blood sample taken at this point.
Prospective study to investigate the correlation between CD39/CD73 expression by the different T lymphocyte subpopulations in the blood and synovial fluid (if available) into patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism RA and PsA types, with the rheumatic activity, the background therapy (with Methotrexate (MTX)) and the response to this treatment.
In this study, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in psoriatic and psoriatic arthritis patients as well as the parameters of metabolic syndrome will be examined. At the same time, the levels of omentin and visfatin adipokines associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity will be measured by measuring the disease severity (by PASI psoriasis, clinical activity score for psoriatic arthritis). The patients who accepted to participate in the study , who were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic were included in the study. For the blood tests required after the examination, 2 tubes of blood will be taken for the measurement of omentin and visfatin. 80 psoriasis, 40 psoriatic arthritis and 60 healthy volunteers were planned to be studied. AHA / NHLBI, 2005 (revised ATP III criteria) criterion for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome will be used. Omentin and visfatin levels are compared with the severity of the disease for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and it will be examined whether it is proinflammatory or antiinflammatory.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of filgotinib on semen parameters in adult males with active rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Results of this study may be pooled with the results of a separate study being conducted in participants with inflammatory bowel disease (Protocol GS-US-418-4279; NCT03201445) with the same objective.
This is a study to demonstrate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared with placebo in the treatment of tumor necrosis factor alpha-inadequate responders (TNFα-IR) subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA).

Blood clots occurring in the legs and in the lungs are relatively common; they occur in around 3 in a 1000 people per year. They can cause disability and are also potentially life threatening. When a clot occurs in the legs it is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. When they occur in the lungs they are called a pulmonary embolism or PE. The risk for DVT and PE is higher in people with conditions which cause inflammation. The most common of these are inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis (a condition comprised of psoriasis and joint inflammation). What is not known is how much higher the risk of DVT and PE is in these groups compared with people without inflammatory disease, and what causes the excess risk in these people. This study aims to assess the measure the exact increase in risk for DVT and PE in people with these inflammatory conditions and to identify which risk factors are most strongly associated with the increased risk. These data should help with an understand the causes of blood clot risk in these inflammatory conditions and in identify targets for reducing risk.
Rationale: Psoriasis (PsO) is a common inflammatory skin disease. Besides the skin, it is recognized that this disease can affect multiple domains such as nails, joints and entheses. About 30% of the patients with PsO will develop symptoms in the musculoskeletal domains. Untreated inflammation in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can lead to irreversible joint damage and further reduces quality of life. Since musculoskeletal involvement is often preceded by the dermatological symptoms of PsO, patients with pure cutaneous psoriasis (PsC) should be routinely screened for joint involvement. Current screening questionnaires, like the often used Psoriasis Epidemiology Screening Tool (PEST), offer a moderate discrimination between patients with PsA and PsC at best. Our aim is to assert the prevalence of known and previously undiagnosed PsA in a PsC cohort. By comparing the gathered data of the PsA and PsC patients, we hope to improve the screening of PsC patients, and to reduce both undertreatment of locomotor symptoms as well as unnecessary diagnostic investigations. Objective: To ascertain the prevalence of PsA in a tertiary PsO cohort. Secondary objectives will be to ascertain the clinical features of these patients. With these features we want to find clinical, laboratory or genetic markers to predict the presence of PsA in PsO patients. Moreover, we wish to establish the added value of PsA screening for the quality of life (QoL) of PsO patients. Study design: Multicenter cross-sectional study with a single follow-up visit after 1 year. Patients will be screened at baseline for PsA symptoms by a rheumatology resident and referred to a rheumatology clinic if deemed necessary. At baseline, several clinical and sociodemographic parameters will be assessed. We will collect blood samples for diverse biochemical studies and genomic DNA. Patients will be followed for 1 year after active screening for PsA. Quality of life (QoL) and treatment change will be recorded after this period, to assess the effect of screening and referral.
