Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

Pharmacokinetic properties, efficacy, safety and tolerability of RGB-03 and MabThera will be compared in patients suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Previous study found that lipid extract from hard-shelled mussel (HMLE) at a dose of 100mg/kg possessed strong anti-inflammatory activity by diminishing the hind paw swelling and arthritis index in rat model. In the present study, HMLE was processed to capsules under strict food safety supervision and patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA）were selected to examine whether supplementation with HMLE could improve clinical and laboratory parameters of disease activity. The validated disease activity score that include 28 joint counts and ESR (DAS28) and validated clinical disease activity index (CDAI) were primary outcome measure. Laboratory parameters including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α,PGE2 and COX-2 were also measured to explore the mechanisms.

This proof-of-concept randomized trial evaluates the effectiveness of using an online decision aid (US-ANSWER-2) in the decision-making to start or switch biologic therapy in US patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Database analysis: To describe how Orencia is prescribed in France in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) To describe joint population of Orencia To assess the impact of the treatment on health status of the treated population as assessed by morbid-mortality criteria To describe therapeutic strategies and use of health services

In Israel, data is lacking regarding the long-term effectiveness of Adalimumab in outpatient real life setting. Moreover, the association between long-term effectiveness of Adalimumab and patients' functional status as well as cultural aspects of sick leaves and visits to physician's clinics has not been demonstrated in this population. This study will collect the required data in real life settings.

This observational study will evaluate the use and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in monotherapy in routine clinical practice in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the approved label will be followed for 6 months.

In this Post Market Clinical Follow-up Study (PMCF Study), the short-term clinical and radiological results of the cementless Excia T® prosthesis in routine clinical use shall be assessed and the migration taking place in the first 24 months evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of golimumab for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis among Filipino patients.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common chronic destructive arthritis. Major pathology change in rheumatoid arthritis is synovium hyperplasia with bone and cartilage erosion. Infiltrates in synovial tissue included type one and type two synoviocytes, B cells, T cells and fibroblasts. These cells will release many cytokines and chemokines, which will induce expression of adhesion molecules, release of variable enzyme from fibroblast and osteoclast and result in bone erosion. Recent study revealed that fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) have some role in pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.We believed CXCL12/CXCR4 ligand/receptor pair is important in chronicity of rheumatoid arthritis. CXCL12 polymorphism is studied in many disease. There is no related CXCL12 polymorphism study in rheumatoid arthritis. Our study intended to clarify the relationship between pathology, serology factor, CXCL12 polymorphism in rheumatoid arthritis in hope that new direction of therapy will be elucidated.

This observational study will describe the treatment patterns of usage of biological DMARDs in routine clinical practice and the demographics and RA disease characteristics in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Patients will be recruited and examined the same day when recruited. There will be no follow up visit or treatment period only one visit in this study.
