Filter by:This is a retrospective cohort study to evaluate patient characteristics, treatment patterns including a 6-factor effectiveness proxy measure, health care resource use and associated costs among Rheumatoid Arthritis patients initiating treatment comparator groups of interest between January 2014 and September 2016 across three United States insurance claims databases.
Lymphatic transport will be examined using Near InfraRed Indocyanine Green fluorescence imaging (NIR-ICG) and magnetic resonance lymphography (MRL) of the upper extremities. The purpose of the study is to establish if NIR-ICG is a valid clinical outcome for quantifying lymphatic vessel drainage.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety, and immunogenicity of KN019 after intravenous administration on background methotrexate in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and inadequate response to methotrexate.
This study is expected to include 90 patients with major depressive disorder and rheumatoid arthritis as study subjects.Randomly divided into 3 groups: drug + VNS stimulation group, drug + sham stimulation group and drug group, each group had 30 patients.The treatment period of each group was 8 weeks.Age and sex were matched in all three groups.Scale evaluation and inflammatory factor test were performed before treatment (baseline), at week 4 and week 8 after treatment.Head MRI, evoked potential, and electrocardiogram were performed at baseline and at the end of week 8.
Significant increase in the levels of serum adiponectin, ADA, and hsCRP was reported in all RA patients compared to controls. Compared to patients with early RA, the increase in these markers significantly correlated with disease activity (DAS-ESR), lower f-BMD, radiographic scoring, pain, FFI, and functional limitations in patients with established RA. Adiponectin showed a negative correlation with serum levels of both ADA and hsCRP. By using ROC curve analysis, optimal cut-off values of adiponectin (28.8 µg/ml), ADA (27.3 IU/L), and hsCRP (1.6 mg/L) could be used to estimate early RA in 45 % of the patients. Similarly, using cut-off values of adiponectin (32.8 µg/ml), ADA (26.1 IU/L ml), and hsCRP (2.5 mg/L), established RA could be predicted in 55 % of patients with 98-99% accuracy.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of high fiber multigrain supplementation on the level of clinical disease severity measures, blood inflammatory molecules, and nutritional status changes in RA patients.
A prospective, multi-centre, non-comparative, post-market clinical follow-up study to evaluate the survivorship, safety and performance of the Freedom® Total Knee System in the treatment of approximately 450 subjects who in the surgeon's opinion require a primary total knee replacement due to severe knee joint pain and loss of mobility due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis at upto 15 centers in the United Kingdom (UK). The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for commercially available Freedom® Total Knee System used in total knee replacement. Subjects must meet all the study inclusion / exclusion criteria before enrolment in the study. Subjects will be requested to attend out-patients clinic for clinical follow-up (CFU) or approached for telephonic follow-up (TFU) post-operatively as mentioned below. Clinical & Telephonic Follow-up details: - 6-8 weeks ± 1week (Clinical follow-up) - 1 year ± 1 month (Clinical follow-up) - 3 years ± 6 months (Clinical follow-up) - 5 years ± 6 month (Clinical follow-up (optional) / Telephonic follow-up) - 10 years± 6 month (Clinical follow-up (optional) / Telephonic follow-up)
The RA patients receiving leflunomide for more than one month, and not receiving other DMARDs (except hydroxychloroquine), will be enrolled to assess their disease activity. Blood samples will be collected for genetic studies and pharmacokinetic assay of the blood levels of the drug and its active metabolite.
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.
The purpose of this study is to compare adherence, persistence, and effectiveness among patients initiating tofacitinib Modified Release (MR) with tofacitinib Immediate Release (IR).
