Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose escalation study to test the efficacy and safety of F8IL10 and methotrexate when given as a combination in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Although cortisone is widely used in the treatment of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis, the best dosage is not known. Therefore we will compare two standard prednisolon starting dosages and placebo in the treatment of patients with early active rheumatoid arthritis on the background of the established therapy with methotrexate. In total 450 patients will be included into the study. Two different treatment arms starting with 10 or 60 mg of prednisolone, and one placebo arm. Duration of intervention is 12 weeks. In parallel, all patients start medication with methotrexate, usual dosage 15 mg/week. Primary efficacy endpoint is progression of radiographic damage after one year compared to baseline. Safety monitoring is performed.

Aim: To study if a person-centered physical therapy intervention program contributes to diminished fatigue in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

Primary Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity of sarilumab administered as monotherapy. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the other safety aspects of sarilumab administered as monotherapy. To assess the exposure of sarilumab administered as monotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of multiple dose levels of the investigational product (study drug), IPI-145, in combination with methotrexate compared to methotrexate alone in subjects with active moderate-to-severe Rheumatoid Arthritis.

RA (rheumatoid arthritis) patients effectively treated weekly with SC (subcutaneous) Abatacept will be switched to IV (intravenous) Abatacept and restarted with SC Abatacept four after IV application. The investigators hypothesize that a switch from SC- to IV-abatacept and back in patients with low disease activity is safe and not associated with a worsening of the disease.

Participants suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis who had an inadequate response to methotrexate were evaluated for improvement of disease activity (efficacy) when taking GLPG0634 as monotherapy (3 different doses - 50 milligram (mg), 100 mg and 200 mg once daily) or matching placebo for 24 weeks. During the course of the study, patients were also examined for any side effects that could occur (safety and tolerability), and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood (Pharmacokinetics) as well as the effects of GLPG0634 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood (Pharmacodynamics) were determined. Also, the effects of different doses of GLPG0634 administration on participants' disability, fatigue and quality of life were evaluated.

Many studies have been conducted to evaluate the role of pulse steroids in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but no consensus exists. The aim of this study is to study the efficacy of various treatment regimens in early RA. Methods: This is a randomized open-labeled trial. Patients were randomised into three groups. In group A, patients were treated with single drug (methotrexate 15 mg/wk). The patients in Group B were treated with a combination of DMARDS (Methotrexate, sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine). The patients in Group C received combination therapy as in group B and 3 pulses of methylprednisolone intravenously.

This extension study will evaluate the safety (including immunogenicity) of treatment with rituximab-Pfizer, as well as the safety and immunogenicity after transitioning from rituximab-US or rituximab-EU to rituximab-Pfizer. This study will provide continued treatment access to subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who have participated for at least 16 weeks in other studies in the rituximab Pfizer program.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the change in disease activity following intravenous (i.v.) administration of two doses of NNC0114-0006 compared to placebo in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on background methotrexate (MTX) therapy.
