Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by swelling, pain, and synovial damage. Effective methods lack in the treatment of RA. A traditional prescription in use for thousands of years in China, Huang Qi Gui Zhi Wu Wu Tang(HQGZWWT)granule is still chosen to relive pain and prevent joint malformation in RA patients. However, no evidence-based medical research has been organized to assess the effectiveness and safety of HQGZWWT granules for RA.

In this 24-week, single center, randomized, double-blind study, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis refractory to methotrexate

Metformin has been used clinically for over 50 years, as a glucose lowering agent. Direct and indirect anti-inflammatory effects of metformin have been reported in animal and clinical studies, and this effect is independent of its hypoglycemic effect. Animal studies showed that metformin decreased serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level in atherogenic rabbits and decreased proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) in obese mice . Moreover, metformin also suppressed osteoclastogenesis ; this may partially result from decreased expression of inflammatory cytokines that promote osteoclastogenesis in the arthritic joint. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of addition of metformin to standard disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different doses of JAK1 inhibitor SHR0302 in subjects with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who had inadequate response to conventional synthetic DMARDs.

Studying the effect of laser puncture on rheumatoid arthritis patients

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine the optimal dose of HL237 tablets in rheumatoid arthritis patients by comparing the efficacy and safety of the three dose groups of HL237 tablets and the control group.

The purpose of this study is to access the efficacy and safety of Mizoribine 150mg qid and 50mg tid in active rheumatoid arthritis patients unsuccessfully treated with disease-modifying antirheumatic drug.

To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Trinity™ BIOLOX delta™ Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip System in comparison to the Trinity™ Acetabular Hip System,which is FDA cleared for use in the U.S. The comparison will be based upon clinical success at the Month 24 endpoint.

This multi-center observational study will evaluate the use of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in monotherapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the licensed label will be followed for 6 months.

This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Iguratimod alone or Iguratimod in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) versus Methotrexate alone in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
