Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the risk of serious infections in rheumatoid arthritis patients with tocilizumab is higher than in those with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors using the nationwide real-world data.
to detect the role of CTHRC1 biomarker in diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and To correlate other well-established rheumatoid arthritis markers (RF& anti-ccp) and CTHRC1 level to see if CTHRC1 can act as a dependent or independent serum marker in prediction of RA status.
This post-marketing study is designed to compare the safety of baricitinib versus tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors with respect to venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) when given to participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The purpose of the study is to determine whether plasma levels of the collagen triple helix repeat containing (CTHRC1) protein can serve as a blood-based biomarker for diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) ,and furthermore its correlation with disease activity.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease associated with inflammation and destruction of joints and systemic effects, which result in significant impact on patient's quality of life and function. Sustained remission or low disease activity is the target to achieve in RA management. Ultrasound (US) is an imaging technique potentially helpful at several steps of the disease. A semi-quantitative (0-3) score of synovitis combining B-mode and Power Doppler abnormalities has been developed (GLOESS), and its responsiveness has been demonstrated. Patients Reported Outcomes (PROs) are important parameters in patient perceived health and are increasingly used in clinical practice. Prediction of therapeutic response to biological and targeted synthetic DMARDs remains a challenge for clinician, due to the potential adverse events and the cost of these drugs. To date, only few clinical and biological tools usable in clinical practice have a prognostic value. US or PRO could have added value for this purpose. Objectives : - To determine the predictive added value of the variation of an US score to the variation of the DAS28-CRP (C-Reactive Protein) at 1 month on clinical outcome (low disease activity i.e. DAS28-CRP≤3.2) at 6 months, or on therapeutic response at 3 months (EULAR good or moderate response (DAS)), in RA patients starting a treatment with JAK (Janus Kinase) inhibitors (JAKi). - To determine the predictive added value of the variation several PROs to the variation of the DAS28-CRP at 1 month on clinical outcome (low disease activity i.e. DAS28-CRP≤3.2) at 6 months, or on therapeutic response at 3 months (EULAR good or moderate response (DAS)), in RA patients starting a treatment with JAKi.
This is a 24-month, prospective, non-interventional, multi-center study with primary aim to identify baseline characteristics of patients that predict response at 6 months of treatment. The study also aims to describe the treatment patterns of RA patients prescribed tofacitinib in a real-world setting and assess the effect of treatment on patient quality of life and physical function. Finally the study will assess the use of healthcare resources and costs in patients with RA treated with tofacitinib in Greece. The planned recruitment period is 12 months. The planned observation period of each patient is 12 months. In this time period up to 4 visits will be documented. The study will be reviewed and approved by the Central Regulatory Committee for NIS and IRB Board of each participating site
The Study objectives are: 1. To compare the efficacy and safety of Etanercept, lyophilisate for solution for injection and Enbrel, lyophilisate for solution for subcutaneous injection, which are used as subcutaneous injections at a dose of 25 mg 2 times a week for 24 weeks in combination with methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. 2. To prove the therapeutic equivalence of Etanercept, lyophilisate for solution for injection and Enbrel, lyophilisate for solution for subcutaneous injection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. 3. To evaluate the immunogenicity of Etanercept, lyophilisate for solution for injection.
