Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate 1 year extension study of the efficacy and the safety during treatment tocilizumab in patients completing treatment CWP-TCZ301 study with moderate to severe active RA and an inadequate response to current DMARD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of JNJ-39758979 on the pharmacokinetics (how the body handles a drug) of methotrexate in participants with rheumatoid arthritis.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether BMS-817399 in combination with Methotrexate is effective in treating moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.

This is a proof of concept study asking if alkaline phosphatase injections can reduce acute inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

The study is conducted in order to find out if repeated doses of the monoclonal (artificially manufactured) antibody BT061 can help arthritis patients whose disease does not sufficiently respond to a treatment with methotrexate (MTX).

The primary objectives of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of multiple doses of the mavrilimumab (CAM-3001) administered subcutaneously in subjects with moderately active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

This study will assess the onset and maintenance of effect of tocilizumab on relief in patients with active moderate or severe rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to DMARDs or anti-TNF. For the first, double-blind, part of the study patients will be randomized to receive an iv infusion of either 8mg/kg tocilizumab or placebo. After 4 weeks this will be followed by 11 months treatment with tocilizumab 8mg/kg iv infusion every 4 weeks. Methotrexate or DMARD therapy will be continued throughout study treatment. Target sample size is >100.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and safety of golimumab with methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) when compared to MTX alone.

The safety profile and efficacy of combination therapy will be evaluated using methotrexate (MTX) and the nucleoside analog fludarabine in 40 patients with severe refractory rheumatoid arthritis. The patients enrolled will be those who have experienced inadequate disease control with MTX alone or in combination with other immunosuppressive drugs such as sulfasalazine (SSZ), cyclosporin A (CsA), or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). In this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial, patients will be maintained on oral MTX at 17.5 mg/week to which either placebo or subcutaneous fludarabine at 30 mg/m(2) daily for three consecutive days per month will be added for four months. The fludarabine (or placebo) treatment period will be followed by two months of follow-up, at which time patients will be evaluated for response. Patients will be monitored for adverse effects/tolerability, disease activity, and changes in synovial volume as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Additionally synovial biopsies will be obtained before and after treatment for investigation of infiltrating cell numbers and phenotypes, cytokine profiles, Th1 versus Th2 responses, and angiogenesis.

This primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic properties of multiple ascending doses of ATN-103 administered subcutaneously (below the skin) to Japanese subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis and on a stable background of methotrexate. Some subjects will receive ATN-103 while other subjects will receive a placebo.
