Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the S.T.A.R. device for patients with bilateral disease.

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.

This 2 arm study will investigate the effects of tocilizumab on lipids, arterial stiffness, and markers of atherogenic risk in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either tocilizumab 8mg/kg intravenously or placebo every 4 weeks, in combination with methotrexate 7.5-25 mg weekly. In Part 2, all patients will receive open-label treatment with tocilizumab plus methotrexate.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of etanercept in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with or without methotrexate treatment over a 24 month period

Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study with Adalimumab in Chinese Subjects with Mild Rheumatoid Arthritis

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.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether LY2127399 is effective in relieving signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients with a history of inadequate response or intolerance to at least 1 Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNFα) inhibitor therapy. Examples of these TNFα inhibitor therapies that are currently on the market include Enbrel® (etanercept), Remicade® (infliximab), and Humira® (adalimumab).

The primary objective is to determine whether erythrocyte polyglutamate levels are associated with objective clinical response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis after oral administration of low-dose methotrexate.The secondary aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of standard dose methotrexate versus a higher starting dose.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of three doses of adalimumab in adult Japanese subjects with RA

The objective of this study is to evaluate the activity of 2 oral doses of AB1010 in subjects suffering from active RA who have shown an inadequate response to one DMARD including MTX or anti-TNF, after 3 months (12 weeks) of treatment. The safety and efficacy will be evaluated on: Rate of patients achieving ACR 20, 50, 70 and 90 DAS (disease activity score) after 3 months treatment ACRn after 3 months treatment Therapeutic maintenance of AB1010 at 3 months Quality of Life assessed by SF12 Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Clinical and biological safety Pharmacokinetic profile of AB1010
