Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

This was an open-label, Phase 2 study designed to obtain user experience data (Phase A) and injection time data (Phase B) in experienced adalimumab patients injected with the Physiolis pre-filled syringe and autoinjector used to administer adalimumab.

The primary objective of this post-marketing observational study was to obtain data on the characteristics (patient age/gender; disease type, severity and duration; disease specific treatment history; current concomitant medications; other relevant medical history) of patients prescribed adalimumab (Humira®) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) as part of routine clinical care in Russia.

This is a single-arm, multi-center, prospective cohort study (post-marketing observational study). The observation period for each participant is 48 weeks. This study is designed to provide additional data on treatment effects of adalimumab during 48 weeks of treatment in patients with RA under conditions of routine rheumatology care. Course of work productivity and work ability, the course of health-related quality of life, and changes in functionality during 48 weeks treatment with adalimumab are to be documented.

The most common pain-relievers used by patients with rheumatic disorders are called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs are effective and well documented, but they can cause ulcers and gastrointestinal side effects. Vimovo™ is a tablet containing naproxen (NSAID) and a gastroprotective agent called esomeprazole. Patients with rheumatic disorders, who are at risk for developing gastrointestinal side effects, and where lower doses of naproxen or other NSAID treatment is not considered sufficient, could use this tablet. The regulatory authorities in many European countries have approved the use of Vimovo™, but they would like to understand how various factors influence the doctors' decision to prescribe the tablet and what is characterizing the patients receiving it. The aim of the study is to answer these questions.

This study is a non-confirmatory post-marketing observational study to explore and describe the effectiveness of adalimumab on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment course and participant satisfaction over time in context with utilization of a patient support program (PSP). The core elements of the PSP were call centers (in and outbound)/hotlines, nursing services, starter packs, provision of educational materials (print and digital) regarding RA and adalimumab, and injection guides. Other elements of the PSP, which varied between countries, included (but were not limited to) refill reminders, email contacts, support groups, and newsletters.

This observational study will evaluate the glucocorticoid sparing effect after 12 months of treatment with RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Data will be collected for 12 months after the initiation of treatment with RoActemra/Actemra from patients who had been on treatment with >5 mg prednisone or equivalent for at least 3 months .

Observation of safety, tolerability and effectiveness of adalimumab (Humira) therapy in a large patient collective under everyday clinical conditions over a 5-year period.

The aim of this post-marketing observational study is to obtain further data on the evaluation of quality of life outcomes of HUMIRA® in routine clinical use in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) or Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) after unsustainable clinical response to disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and or biological disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (BDMARD). Treatment strategies in moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and in severe active ankylosing spondylitis commonly consist of introducing biologics after conventional disease modifying antirheumatic drugs or non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs fail. Although biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs are generally well-tolerated, intolerances may develop or efficacy may diminish, at which time another biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drug might be considered. This study shall evaluate the quality of life outcomes of HUMIRA®, given after conventional disease modifying antirheumatic drugs and or non antiinflammatory drug failures and or after biological disease modifying antirheumatic drug failures . Failure in this context means primary or secondary loss of efficacy or intolerance to the initial agent.

The objectives of the study are to observe and assess the long-term use, safety and efficacy of Humira (adalimumab), as prescribed by the rheumatologist in a normal clinical setting and in accordance with the terms of the European marketing authorization and to observe compliance of patients with the prescribed treatment.

The purpose of the abatacept pregnancy registry is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to abatacept, to evaluate the possible teratogenic effects (that is, any abnormal development) of this medication in the pregnancy outcome and to follow live born infants for one year after birth.
