Filter by:This study is designed to learn about response to CC-99677 treatment by measuring signs and symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), objective measures of disease activity, quality of life assessments, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability over a 12-week double-blind period.
ABY-035-204 is a clinical study to assess the efficacy of IL-17 blocker ABY-035 in ankylosing spondylitis(AS). The primary objective is to estimate the relationship between different dose regimens of ABY-035 and clinical response as assessed by Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society 40 (ASAS40) response at Week 16 in subjects with active AS.
The purpose of this interventional study is to identify the root cause(s) of AxSpA (Axial Spondyloarthritis) relapses, which are likely due to the combination of nutrition, gut microbiome activities, leaky gut, and human genes (particularly from the immune system). This will be done by identifying molecular features of the microbiome that are associated with AxSpA flares, progression and relapses. The study will recruit participants with confirmed AxSpA diagnosis and who are HLA-B27 positive. During screening potential participants allow access to medical records to confirm eligibility requirements, such as diagnosis. Once enrolled, collection kits are sent to participants to collect samples using at-home collection kits and then provide a fasting blood sample at a local lab. Samples are then analyzed to identify features that likely cause AxSpA issues. Survey's are also answered to collect additional health data. Scientists will then use the data to identify the features that likely cause AxSpA flares and relapses.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether immunosuppressive therapies used by patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases have an impact on the viral load and the humoral and cellular responses during viral infection with SarSCoV2, compared to members of their family cluster infected with the same viral strain.
This proposal aims to develop novel MR imaging and image processing techniques that will provide reliable and fully quantitative evaluation of inflammation, chronic structural changes and vascularity in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). The quantitative evaluation will be more objective and reproducible, more sensitive to subtle changes, and less time consuming, as compared to the current semi-quantitative evaluation. It will allow radiologists and rheumatologists to evaluate the inflammation and structural changes more reliably to improve early diagnosis and treatment response evaluation. The developed quantification tools can be disseminated to other research and clinical sites for retrospective and prospective data analysis, and used as outcome measures for future multi-center trials. The evaluation of vascularity will enhance Investigators understanding of disease pathophysiology and serve as a novel marker to improve investigators capability of evaluating and predicting treatment response in AS. The successful implementation will greatly assist clinicians to optimize individualized therapeutic strategies and ultimately improve patient care for AS.
This is a 6-week randomized, double-blind trial of 4 different non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in patients with axial spondyloarthritis to compare the change of pain score from baseline at 4 weeks to the change of pain score from baseline at 6 weeks.
Rheumatic diseases regroup a variety of disorders affecting the locomotor system including joints, muscles, connective tissues and soft tissues around the joints and bones. Inflammation and/or autoimmune reactions contribute to the aetiology of many rheumatic diseases. Such autoimmune conditions, commonly referred to as inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD), include arthritis of various origins such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or spondylarthritis (SpA). Patients with autoimmune diseases such as RA or SpA are in higher risk of fractures compared to the general population. Initial pharmacotherapies for IRD remain NSAID treatment for pain relief, and anti-resorptive agents (e.g., TNF-alpha blockers) which aim at reducing bone loss and preventing occurrence of new bone erosions. Yet current treatments may have strong side effects and are not always effective (e.g., 35-40% of the patients treated with TNF-alpha inhibitors will initially or progressively loose response). Therefore there is a need for further treatment modalities in IRD, which would focus on both suppressing inflammation and treating bone disorders. Current research studies indicate that Bone Therapeutics' allogeneic osteoblastic cells exhibit in vitro potent immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties (in addition to osteo-regenerative and immune-privileged properties). The present research study aims at investigating in vitro the properties of these osteoblastic cells in the context of inflammatory rheumatic diseases. In this purpose, in vitro assays will be used to test these immunosuppressive effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of subjects diagnosed with RA, PsA and SpA.
The investigators hypothesize that the T1 Dixon post-Gadolinium and T2 Dixon sequences will show good diagnostic performances for active sacroiliitis compared to the reference test (Short tau inversion recovery) and clinical-biological criteria, which will allow a better diagnosis of active sacroiliitis
This study is a non-interventional, longitudinal and non-confirmatory study to compare an active supervised training (AST) with standard of care (SOC) physiotherapy in patients with axial spondyloarthritis and stable response to adalimumab (HUMIRA®) with respect to health-related outcomes. The primary objective is the improvement in spinal mobility after a 6 month training program.
This single center, open-label, proof of concept (PoC) Phase II study aimed to assess the investigational imaging agent 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 in detecting spondyloarthritis (SpA) lesions. Overall, it was planned to recruit 20 adults with suspected or confirmed SpA. First, 5 patients were enrolled into a "proof of concept" phase, to assess the imaging potential of 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 in terms of imaging quality, disease-lesion radiotracer uptake and medical relevance. Based on these results the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) was to decide whether to terminate the study or whether to continue and enroll the next 15 planned patients.
