Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

GSK182771 is a domain antibody targeting the interleukin (IL)-1 receptor which is being developed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. This study is being done in healthy volunteers to verify the safety and tolerability of GSK182771

The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of pain control achieved by treatment with fentanyl, administered via adhesive patches applied to the skin ('transdermal system") in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. Treatment will be administered fo r4 weeks, added on to existing therapy with other medications.

Intra-articular injection of etanercept in patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis: a double-blind randomized study for evaluation of efficacy and safety of etanercept versus intra-articular steroid injection in acute synovitis (knee,wrist,ankle,elbow)

CRx-102 is a synergistic combination drug candidate containing the cardiovascular drug dipyridamole and a very low dose of the glucocorticoid prednisolone. CRx-102 is believed to work through a novel mechanism of action in which dipyridamole selectively amplifies the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities of the glucocorticoid without replicating the dose-dependent adverse effects. CRx-102 has been associated with clinical benefit in proof of concept studies in subjects with hand Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). In this trial, CRx-102 will be given to subjects with active RA as an add-on therapy to existing stable doses of Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) including methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, leflunomide or azathioprine. MTX in combination with other DMARDs (e.g., sulfasalazine or hydroxychloroquine) will be permitted to reflect the current standard of care practices within rheumatology.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of intra-articular glucocorticoid injection to its systemic use for treatment of knee synovitis in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

The study has been designed as a 48-week, double-blind, randomized, controlled study comparing the use of leflunomide alone to combinations of leflunomide-sulfasalazine-HCQ, and methotrexate-sulfasalazine-HCQ.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of atacicept compared to placebo in the treatment of signs and symptoms in a subject population with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inadequate response to methotrexate (MTX) and no previous exposure to anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFalpha) therapy.

The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effects of Rituxan therapy in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis on endothelial function and other markers of endothelial function

The purpose of this study is to determine if MDX-1342 given in combination with Methotrexate is a safe treatment for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, changes in the severity patients' arthritis will also be analysed.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist therapy versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.
