Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

This study will provide efficacy and safety data of the secukinumab pre-filled syringe (PFS) for subcutaneous self-administration in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who are intolerant to or have had an inadequate response to anti-TNF-α agents.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the serum concentration of tabalumab after the administration using either prefilled syringe or auto-injector after the initial loading dose and after 12 weeks of treatment. Treatment period is followed by 40 weeks optional safety extension.

The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, tolerability and efficacy of INCB047986, in subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.

The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Trabecular Metal Reverse Shoulder System when used in primary or revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that leads to inflammation and progressive joint damage affecting 2.5 million people in the United States. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of switching to an alternative Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) alpha inhibitor in comparison to continuing treatment with an existing TNF-alpha inhibitor in adults suffering from RA in a setting of inadequate clinical response to etanercept or adalimumab.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety, efficacy, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of 3 dose levels of ART621 in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

This post-marketing study is designed to collect data relating to the use of the Delta Xtend™ Total Shoulder Replacement System in shoulder with rotator cuff deficiencies. This allows for continued monitoring of the performance and safety of the prosthesis in a broader range of clinical situations.

This 2 part study will investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MabT hera in combination with RoActemra in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis despite a stable dose of methotrexate. In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either MabThera 0.5g iv or placebo on days 1 and 15, follo wed by RoActemra at one of the ascending doses between 2mg/kg and 8mg/kg at week s 4, 8 and 12 (MabThera arm) or 8mg/kg (placebo arm). In Part 2, additional pati ents will be randomized to one of 2 groups to receive MabThera 0.5g on days 1 an d 15 followed by the selected dose (from Part 1)of RoActemra at weeks 4, 8 and 1 2, or placebo on days 1 and 15 followed by RoActemra 8mg/kg at weeks 4,8 and 12. All patients will then be eligible to receive extension treatment withRoActemra every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months, and the tar get sample size is <100 individuals.

This Phase IIIb, randomized, multi-national, multi-center, blinded study of Infliximab (IFX) in subjects aged 18 and older with active RA is being conducted to assess whether increasing either the infusion dose or infusion frequency in patients presenting with a disease flare after an initial response to infliximab results in a significant improvement in disease activity. Subjects responding to an initial infliximab treatment regimen, who flare during continuation of treatment at 3 mg/kg administered every 8 weeks, will be randomly assigned to one of 3 different dosing regimens of infliximab and will be treated for 4 or 5 consecutive infusions for a total duration of 24 weeks. The infliximab control group and the infliximab increased dose group are evaluator and subject-blinded. The increased frequency group is not blinded. Clinical assessments of disease activity will be based the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria for response. Safety parameters will be assessed at every infusion. A disease flare is defined by an increase in DAS28 with 0.6 or more at screening, when compared to the DAS28 score measured immediately prior to the last Remicade® infusion and depends upon the actual score as well. Since prior to enrollment, the subject received Remicade® as per routine clinical practice, the days on which infusions were administered and assessments are done during the induction period do not have to be exactly at Week 2, 6 and 14. Drug: Infliximab Control (double-blinded) Drug: Infliximab Increased Dose (double-blinded) Drug: Infliximab Increased Frequency (open-label)

This is a phase III, double-blind, randomized, multicenter, and parallel group trial with a duration of 24 weeks, followed by a 120 week Open-label Period. the primary purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of ofatumumab in reducing clinical signs and symptoms in adult RA patients after a single course of ofatumumab.
