Filter by:Tofacitinib (TOFA) is a JAK inhibitor already used in rheumatology for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis in adult patients who have responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to one or more disease- modifying antirheumatic drugs. Furthermore, TOFA has been recently approved for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe active Ulcerative Colitis (UC) who had no response, lose response, or were intolerant to either conventional therapy or a biologic agent. The approval was based on the efficacy demonstrated by TOFA in three phase 3 randomized controlled trials named OCTAVE: two identically designed, 8-week, placebo- controlled, induction studies of oral TOFA 10 mg twice daily followed by the OCTAVE Sustain 52-week maintenance study. About sacroiliitis, 2 out of 8 patients treated with TOFA improved after 8 weeks, compared with 0 out of 3 patients in the placebo group. Obviously, these data should be interpreted with extreme caution since patient numbers were very low, and it should be again emphasized that these trials were not designed to explore the efficacy of TOFA onextraintestinal manifestations. On these premises, we designed a prospective, multicenter, observational, 52-week study with the aim of assess the effectiveness of TOFA on UC-associated spondyloarthropathy.
Patient preference and experience can impact patients' adherence and persistence regarding a treatment, especially when switching. A number of factors contribute to this, including their beliefs, fears, expectations, and overall knowledge. This is compounded by the fact that many switched patients are not trained on how to use the new injection device. Specifically, some patients report a degraded experience with current adalimumab biosimilars (40mg/0.8mL) as compared to the originator: injections appear more painful and seem to cause more bruising. Indeed, treatment-related factors such as treatment volume or the presence of citrate have the potential to negatively impact patient experience and contribute to local reactions at or around the injection site, such as pain and swelling. Yuflyma® (CT-P17 adalimumab), developed by Celltrion Inc., is a biosimilar of the anti-TNF treatment adalimumab, having obtained a marketing authorisation from the European Commission on 11th February 2021 (addressed to Celltrion Healthcare). Yuflyma® is the first high-concentration adalimumab biosimilar (40mg/0.4mL) available in France, which makes the product similar to the currently available adalimumab originator formula in terms of drug concentration. Studying patient experience over the course of a switch involves querying patients at the time of prescription, while they are still under the previous treatment, and for the following 3 months, during which they have been able to pick up their prescribed medication from a pharmacy and have started using the new treatment. Describing patient experience over the course of a switch from another adalimumab (originator or biosimilar) to Yuflyma® would contribute to identifying significant factors which contribute to patient experience and satisfaction. Our primary objective is to assess patients' overall satisfaction with the injection after the switch to the high-concentration adalimumab biosimilar Yuflyma®, at 3 months following the initiation, compared to their experience with the previous adalimumab. - Overall satisfaction with the injection (7-level likert) before initiation - Overall satisfaction with the injection (7-level likert) 3 months after initiation
Scurvy is an almost forgotten carential pathology, caused by a deep vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) deficiency, a priori exceptional in industrialized countries. According to the French National Authority for Health standards, hypovitaminosis C is defined as a plasma vitamin C level of less than 23 μmol/L. This deficiency would affect 5 to 10% of the general population in industrialized countries and from 17% (clinical scurvy) to 47% (biological hypovitaminosis C) of vulnerable populations (malnutrition, hospitalized patients...). Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis. It plays a cofactor role in the synthesis of catecholamines precursors and takes action in synthesis of certain amino acids. In rheumatology, pain is a recurring reason for consultation. In a context of treated chronic inflammatory rheumatism (RIC), while most of patients seem in remission or in reduced activity of their disease, all real-life studies show that 30 to 40% of them complain of residual pain, 70% of chronic fatigue and 20-25% of symptoms similar to secondary fibromyalgia. Currently, authors suggest the interest of vitamin C analgesic properties, especially in musculoskeletal pain, due to the role of ascorbic acid in neurotransmitters. Vitamin C would act as a cofactor for a family of biosynthetic and regulatory metalloenzymes. Thus, the authors suggest the potential of vitamin C in an analgesic mechanism involving the biosynthesis of opioid peptides.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR0302 in subjects with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis.
This is a proof-of-concept study. The main goal is to evaluate if the accelerometry signal recorded from patients with arthritis in different disease activity stages, allows for assessment of the activity status. It will also be analysed if the accelerometry signal can be classified as registered in arthritis patients vs. registered in healthy control. Arthritis subjects will be recruited from the outpatients' clinic of the Rheumatology Department Helse Førde, Førde, Norway. Healthy control subjects will be recruited from the same administrative area as the patients and will be invited to participate via announcement on the Helse Forde Medical Trust website. Four visits to the site are planned for the arthritis group and one for the control group. The patients will be recruited in the active phase of arthritis as defined in the inclusion criteria. The study's secondary objective is to develop methods for analysing the accelerometry signal in arthritis patients.
This is a research study involving humans, of the interventional type with minimal risks and constraints (RIPH2). It is a bicentric, non randomized prospective study aiming to better understand the mechanisms of the response to anti-IL-23 biologics in Spondyloarthritis patients attending the rheumatology department of hospital Cochin and Saint Antoine (APHP).
The aim of this project is to evaluate the effect of anti-TNF and anti-IL17 biotherapies on bacterial translocation in patients with NSAID-resistant axial spondyloarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate preliminary efficacy, safety pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics, pharmacodynamics (PD) haracteristics and immunogenicity of JS005 at different doses in Chinese patients with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis(nr-axSpA). Treatment difference of JS005 150mg,300mg,450mg vs. placebo in Chinese nr-axSpA patients in terms of ASAS 40 response rate at Week 16 as well as safety profile will be provided by the study .
This trial will study the safety and efficacy of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells delivered intravenously and intraarticularly for the treatment of Osteoarthritis.
The investigators have aimed to explore and interpret the neuropathic pain (NP) descriptors of spinal pain in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). For this purpose they have attempted to initiate a prospective, cross-sectional study with AS patients.
