Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Psoriatic"

C.O.R.P.U.S. is the first French observatory of care practices in active inflammatory rheumatism of children and adults: rheumatoid arthritis, spondylarthropathy, and idiopathic juvenile arthritis, established under the auspices of national health authorities. Its goal is to document safety, effectiveness in routine practice of various therapy, including biotherapy, of prescription or non-prescription over 5 years. A cohort will be constituted including any new case of active disease (DAS 28 > 3,2, BASDAI > 4, failure of methotrexate), without previous prescription of biotherapy. Therefore, it will be possible to have patients non exposed to biotherapy (non indication, refusal, contraindication) compared to patients exposed to biotherapy, and to monitor adverse events occurrence as well as effectiveness in routine practice over time, according to prescription, maintenance or switch of various therapies.

The objective of this post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to evaluate the effectiveness of adalimumab plus the AbbVie Care 2.0 patient support program in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), psoriasis (Ps), Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in the routine clinical setting in Hungary.

People with inflammatory diseases treated with immune-suppressing medication are recommended to have regular blood-tests to monitor for potential side-effects of this treatment on their blood count, liver and kidneys. However, it is not clear that monitoring is needed as frequently as currently recommended in the long-term, with side-effects being rare after one year of treatment. A study is currently underway to determine the optimal blood-test monitoring strategy which is cost-effective but still safe. Any changes in the monitoring strategy must be acceptable to patients and the healthcare professionals (HCP) that treat them. This study aims to measure how often patients' with common inflammatory conditions on long-term immune suppressing medication attend their monitoring blood tests as currently recommended, and uncover patients' and HCP views and experiences of the current blood-test monitoring strategy, and the acceptability of potential changes to this in the future. Firstly, patients with an inflammatory condition on long-term immune suppressing treatment will be invited to complete a questionnaire which will ask about their demographic information, medical condition(s), immune-suppressing treatment, adherence to the monitoring blood tests and willingness to take part in an interview. Then, both patients and HCPs who care for such patients will be invited to take part 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. Patient interviews will explore their perceptions of risk, benefits and experiences of current testing, and views on the new testing frequencies emerging from the study prior. HCP interviews will explore their perceptions of current testing including, the practicalities, usefulness, risks and benefits of the blood tests, and views on the new testing frequencies emerging from the study prior. The findings will shape the recommendations for a new monitoring strategy, ensuring it is acceptable to patients and HCPs.

This study aimed to investigate relationship between CTS diagnosis with electrodiagnostic studies and median nerve's cross-sectional area measered by US and MRI in PsA patients.

The purpose of this non-interventional, multicenter, post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to assess rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), plaque psoriasis (PS), Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients' adherence attitudes (beliefs) to maintenance therapy with adalimumab monotherapy or combination therapy with methotrexate (in participants with RA) and to investigate whether there were correlations between such beliefs and adherence to maintenance treatment.

The primary objectives of this study are to assess whether there is transfer of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) into breast milk of lactating mothers who are receiving an established dosing regimen of CZP by evaluating the concentration of CZP in mature breast milk, and to calculate the daily infant dose of maternal CZP.

Treatment with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, especially adalimumab, demonstrated an improvement in work productivity in participants with rheumatic diseases: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Limited data was available for the effect of adalimumab treatment on sleep in all three diseases (RA, PsA, and AS) and no data was available for the effect of adalimumab treatment on work productivity in PsA. This long term Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) observational study was conducted to evaluate the effect of treatment with adalimumab on work productivity and sleep disturbance in Greek participants with moderate to severe rheumatic diseases (RA, PsA, and AS).

We aim to translate these findings into patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions treated with anti-TNF (anti-tumor necrosis factor) therapy, such as psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Patients from rheumatology clinics within NHS (National Health Service) trusts will be recruited. We will correlate disease activity assessed by clinical parameters, ultrasonography, and questionnaires with biomarkers in the blood and target tissues, such as synovium and skin.

The survey will be conducted with regard to the following aspects of treatment with Humira (adalimumab) in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis receiving this drug: unknown adverse drug reactions, especially clinically significant adverse reactions incidence and conditions of occurrence of adverse reactions in the clinical setting factors that may affect the safety and effectiveness of Humira.

The purpose of this study is to conduct an economic analysis on the cost of conventional therapy as compared to biologic therapy and the direct/indirect costs of disease management in patients with refractory psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Primary outcomes are to qualify the economic burden of refractory PsA care. The secondary outcomes are to assess efficacy, safety, and cost effectiveness of different therapies.
