Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks daily treatment with 100 mg AP1189 in RA patients who are to start up-titration with methotrexate (MTX).

The purpose of this study is to assess if a zoledronic acid injection can alter the trajectory of joint degeneration following an acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

This project proposes to conduct the first fully controlled and randomized clinical study demonstrating the impact of DPA-rich sea bass oil on the reduction of symptoms related to rheumatoid arthritis. This unique approach will allow to clinically evaluate the benefits of sea bass oil on the relief of rheumatoid arthritis-related pain in a population suffering from inflammatory arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects 1 percent of the population worldwide and up to 40 percent of patients don't respond to current treatments. MBS2320, the drug being tested in this trial, represents a new approach to treating RA, with the potential not only to reduce levels of inflammation but to also directly prevent bone damage. The aim of this project is to test the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MBS2320 in patients with RA in combination with an existing treatment, methotrexate. Approximately 224 participants with moderate to severe active RA who have not responded to treatment with Methotrexate will be enrolled from around 45 to 55 sites around the world. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 doses of MBS2320 (5 mg, 20 mg, or 40 mg) or placebo (a "dummy" drug). The maximum duration of study participation for a participant will be 22 weeks, which consists of a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks, Treatment Period of 12 weeks, and a Follow-up Period of 6 weeks. Participants on the study will be asked to attend the hospital or clinic for regular visits during which they will have planned study assessments to evaluate the effectiveness, tolerability and safety of the study drug.

The aim of this pilot study is to compare the effectiveness of electroacupuncture or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in reducing the tenderness in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The study adopted a pragmatic, randomized, patient-centered approach to investigate the effectiveness of clinical symptoms and quality of life.

Evaluation of the performance and safety of the Catalyst CSR Shoulder System with clinical and radiographic results at multiple time points through 24 months postoperatively This study will be a prospective multi-center study conducted in the United States.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease causing pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of joint function. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating RA when compared to adalimumab in adult participants with inadequate response or intolerance to one TNF-inhibitor who are on a stable dose of methotrexate (MTX). Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an approved drug for the treatment of RA. This study is double-blinded means that neither the participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given upadacitinib and who will be given adalimumab. Study doctors put the participants in 1 of the 2 groups, called treatment arms randomly, to receive either upadacitinib or adalimumab. There is 1 in 2 chance that participants will receive adalimumab. Each group consists of 2 periods. Approximately 480 participants diagnosed with RA will be enrolled in approximately 250 sites across the world. Participants will receive the oral upadacitinib once daily and matching adalimumab placebo every other week, or the subcutaneous adalimumab every other week and matching upadacitinib placebo once daily during Period 1. Eligible participants will continue to receive same study treatment in Period 2 as assigned in Period 1 and will be followed for 30 days and 70 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

The goal of this clinical study is to determine if a single injection of 1 or more dose levels of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy (GNSC-001) is safe and tolerated compared to placebo in participants with painful osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.

Glucocorticoids are effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, but long-term use of glucocorticoids has many side effects. Tofacitinib is a new small-molecule drug targeting JAK, which has been found to act quickly. The aim of this clinical trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib and low-dose glucocorticoids in inducing remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with moderate to high disease activity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab treatment in participants with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) by assessing the reduction in signs and symptoms of PsA.
