Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of CDP6038 (olokizumab) treatment in adult subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who completed study RA0083 [NCT01463059].

Primary Objective of the study: the purpose of this extension study was to determine the safety of Givinostat in a long term treatment of patients who participated in DSC/08/2357/36 study with good results (clinical benefit at least pediACR30 response);

The primary goal of this preliminary project is to study the effect of etanercept, a medicine approved by Health Canada for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, on the inflammation of certain blood vessels. In particular, the inflammation of the aorta and the carotid arteries will be studied. This study's goal is to determine if etanercept (that blocks TNF (tissue necrosis factor) alpha) could have an effect on blood vessel inflammation. As well, the information from this study will be used to determine the number of patients to recruit in a future study. This study will evaluate the effect of etanercept on 10 patients with rheumatoid arthritis at one rheumatology clinic in Montreal. The 10 patients will be recruited at the Montreal Rheumatology Institute (Institut de Rhumatologie de Montréal) and the images of the blood vessels taken at a medical imaging center will be analyzed by the Montreal Heart Institute. To evaluate vascular inflammation subjects will undergo a PET scan (Positron Emission Tomography).

This is an observer-blinded prospective randomized clinical trial to define the efficacy of a new technology developed at the Cleveland Clinic to improve the positioning of the acetabular shell in total hip arthroplasty.The proposed study will enroll patients that have consented to total hip arthroplasty with or without screw fixation for treatment of hip pathology. This treatment is standard of care. Patients will receive standard of care pre- and post-operative care and placement of standard of care implants all of which are commercially available and FDA approved for general use for the clinical indications used in these patients. The only difference in treatment between the groups will be the use of a surrogate bone model to help assist the surgeon visualize the ideal placement of the acetabular component. Diagnostic testing performed specifically related to this study consists of obtaining one pre-operative and one post-operative CT scan. The post-operative scan is to be performed within two weeks of surgery. The investigators predict that those patients with 3D imaging and bone model will have better acetabular shell placement than those with standard preoperative planning.

Study to determine the efficacy (including American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response rate), safety, and pharmacokinetics of BIRB 796 BS as monotherapy in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have failed at least one disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Apremilast is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, specifically in improving signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (tender and swollen joints, pain, physical function and structure) in treated patients who have had an inadequate response to Methotrexate.

This randomized, open-label, parallel-group study will assess the effect on disease remission of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in combination with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) versus current best practice non-biologic DMARD therapy in patients with moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients who are randomly assigned to the RoActemra/Actemra treatment group will receive 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra intravenously every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months.

This is a study of the overall safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MK-8808 versus rituximab (MabThera® and Rituxan®) in participants with moderate to severe RA with an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of fostamatinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
