Filter by:There is currently no cure for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but many treatment options are available. The central aim of RA treatment is lowering disease activity. The proactive treatment strategy called treat to target (T2T) includes measuring disease activity, setting a target and adjusting treatment accordingly until the goal is reached. T2T has proven to be superior to usual care, but there is much debate regarding the most optimal treatment measure and target. The Disease Activity Score with 28-joint counts and c-reactive protein (DAS28CRP) low-disease activity (LDA) target and the more stringent Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) remission target are the best validated targets. Especially the DAS28CRP is the most commonly used in research and practice, whereas the SDAI remission target is most recommended. The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) recommends to strive for remission, whereas the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) recommends to strive for LDA. In patients with new and established RA, the (cost)effectiveness of aiming for remission compared to LDA when starting and tapering antirheumatic drugs has not been directly compared. This study therefore aims to directly compare two T2T strategies, aiming at DAS28CRP-LDA and SDAI remission, in patients with established RA.
RENOIR Study: This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Rosnilimab in subjects with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
The goals of this clinical study are to learn more about the study drug, GS-0272, and its safety and tolerability following multiple doses in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of GS-0272 and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of GS-0272 following multiple doses of GS-0272, in participants with RA.
Objectives: Systemic autoimmune diseases are chronic diseases characterized by chronic inflammation, vasculopathy, and autoimmune phenomena. Several organ involvements are typical, including the central nervous system. Formerly published investigations emphasize a mild cognitive impairment affecting attention, memory, and complicated solution tasks. However, these symptoms significantly impact patients' routines and quality of life. The study examined the associations between cognitive impairment and clinical parameters regarding systemic autoimmune diseases. Methods: General clinical data, some serum biomarkers including CCl-18, YKL-40, COMP, VEGF, Galectin-3, and Pentraxin as well as results of functional, quality of life, and neuropsychological measures, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Digit Span Forward-Backward, the Trail making A, B and the Digit Symbol tests all were administered.
A randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, positive-controlled, phase 3 study to assess the safety and efficacy of TLL-018 in active rheumatoid arthritis subjects who had an inadequate response or intolerance to Biologic DMARDs.
This is a post-marketing surveillance on MiniMAX Stem
The aim of this randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical food trial is to determine if the medical food SBD121 Synbiotic (prebiotic and probiotic) will aid in the dietary management of symptoms of early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The goal of this open label multicenter randomized controlled pragmatic superiority trial is to investigate the optimal treatment/tapering strategy with rituximab for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the optimal treatment/tapering strategy for rituximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in terms of reducing patient reported disease impact? - What is the optimal treatment/tapering strategy for rituximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in terms of therapeutic efficacy? Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms: - Tapering based on disease-activity guided dose reduction (experimental arm) - Tapering based on interval prolongation (active comparator arm)
The knee pain status of the patients who are followed in the rheumatology special branch of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic and who meet the inclusion criteria will be questioned. In patients with or without knee pain, the cartilage thickness measurement of the knee joint will be measured from 3 points by ultrasound. At the same time, Quadriceps and Hamstring muscle thickness measurements of the patients will be made from the midpoints where the muscle thickness is the highest. The physician who performed the ultrasonographic measurements of the knee pain status of the patients does not know.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease characterized by autoimmune systemic inflammatory polyarthritis, particularly affecting the joints of the hands. In addition to joint findings, extra-articular symptoms such as muscle pain, fatigue, fever and malaise are also common. Fatigue is characterized by a feeling of extreme tiredness and persistent exhaustion. The prevalence of fatigue is between 14% and 15% in healthy adults. Although fatigue is common in patients with RA, it may remain in the background in clinical evaluation. The etiology of fatigue in RA is related to inflammation, pain, psychosocial factors and sleep disturbance, it has not been fully explained.
