Filter by: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 Ankylosing Spondylitis. Treatment difference of JS005 150mg,300mg,450mg vs. placebo in Chinese AS patients in terms of ASAS 20 response rate at Week 16 as well as safety profile will be provided by the study .
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (s.c) secukinumab in comparison with placebo for participants with two subtypes of active pSpA i.e. undifferentiated pSpA and chronic reactive arthritis, and with an inadequate response to conventional therapy despite current or previous Non-steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and/or csDMARDs. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate efficacy and safety of continuing versus withdrawing secukinumab therapy in maintaining remission in the study population.
The study objective is aimed to describe all country, site, investigator and patient variables that lead to treatment persistence for at least 12 months among patients with rheumatologic and intestinal chronic inflammatory diseases who were switched to FK adalimumab, in order to develop a model to predict persistence at 12 months.
Participants maintaining stable disease activity of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) with standard-dose tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) treatment will randomly split into two groups: maintaining standard-dose TNFi, versus reduced-dose TNFi. The proportion of participants not underwent flare between the two groups will be analyzed.
Dosage: 100mg or 200mg or 300mg Administration frequency: Q2W administration in the first 4 weeks (W0, W2, W4), and subsequent Q4W administration (W8, W12) Administration: subcutaneous injection Specifications: 100mg/ 1mL/bottle or placebo 0mg/1ml/ bottle
This is an observational, prospective primary data collection study. The duration of observation is 2 years after study enrolment date. Disease and treatment history will be retrospectively reviewed from medical record at enrollment with no time limits for the key diagnosis of enrolment (plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthropathy).
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.
This is a pilot study to determine if further research is warranted to assess if anti-fungal therapy is an effective adjunctive treatment for axial spondyloarthropathy
Current evidence on tapering of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is still hampered by heterogeneity in tapering regimens, selection and performance biases, and lack of data on optimized treatment dosing strategies especially in real-world clinical settings. This study aims to contribute to the ongoing investigation of disease-activity-guided tapering of TNFi in axSpA in the form of a prospective, randomized controlled trial.
People with inflammatory diseases are often treated with medications that act to suppress the immune-system, increasing the risk of catching infections. Consequently, vaccination with the pneumonia and seasonal flu vaccines is recommended for them. They were also prioritised to receive the COVID-19 vaccines early in the national rollout. However, the uptake of the pneumonia and seasonal flu vaccines among this group is lower than ideal. There may be many reasons why they do or do not seek to be vaccinated for these infections, such as the belief it may cause their disease to flare up or lack of knowledge of vaccines effectiveness. Anecdotally there was a high uptake of COVID-19 vaccines in adults with inflammatory conditions, however, concerns about vaccine-induced disease flare-ups and reports of complications deterred some from being vaccinated. A better understanding of why people do and do not seek vaccination may result in more targeted messaging for patients to help overcome vaccine hesitancy for these infectious diseases. This study aims to explore the drivers and barriers to being vaccinated among adults with common inflammatory conditions and on immune-suppressing medication. They will be invited to participate in a single, semi-structured interview. Interviews will be face-to-face, by telephone or video-call, last up to one hour, and digitally audio-recorded. They will explore participants' understanding of pneumonia, seasonal flu and COVID-19 and the risk they pose to their health, their understanding of vaccinations, beliefs of the benefits and risks of vaccinations for these infections, and reasons for seeking or not seeking vaccination. Findings will inform messaging about being vaccinated for these infections in patient education leaflets, such as those by patient charities regularly provided at speciality clinics. They will also be disseminated to healthcare professionals to help them better understand the drivers and barriers to vaccination.
