Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of sub-cutaneous (SC) abatacept provides any structural benefit in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have failed prior use of TNF therapy.

The Combinatietherapie Bij Reumatoide Artritis (CoBRA) trial was a milestone in the development of the present treatment paradigm for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This study introduced the principle of fast remission induction by means of a combination of standard Disease Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) and a step down bridge therapy with high dose glucocorticoids in early Rheumatoid Arthritis. The purpose of the present study is to compare different combinations of traditional DMARDs and glucocorticoids, based on the original CoBRA protocol, for treatment of early Rheumatoid Arthritis. Besides the efficacy and effectiveness of these strategies, patient centered outcomes and potential implementation problems of such treatment strategies are evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether apremilast is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with psoriatic arthritis, specifically in improving signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (tender and swollen joints, pain, physical function) in treated patients.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) but not responding. The study will last for 1 year.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking methotrexate and have had an inadequate response to a single TNF-alpha antagonist. The study will last for approximately six months.

The purpose of this trial is primarily to investigate the safety and tolerability of repeated subcutaneous injections of MT203 in patients with mild to moderate rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, the amount of MT203 in the blood will be measured and it will be investigated how the body responds to MT203 treatment and if MT203 is effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate equivalent clinical and radiologic outcomes as "gold standard" (Autologous Bone Graft) in a representative clinical model (hindfoot fusions) STUDY HYPOTHESIS: Augment® Injectable is an equivalent bone grafting substitute to autologous bone graft in applications as shown by superiority analysis for safety and non-inferiority analysis for effectiveness STUDY RATIONALE: To evaluate a fully synthetic bone graft material to facilitate fusion in conditions or injuries requiring bone graft in a representative clinical fusion model and thus the opportunity to provide equivalent union rates as Autologous Bone Graft without necessitating an additional invasive procedure to harvest the graft

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, dose escalation study in healthy male and or female subjects and subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) to determine the safety and tolerability of MORAb-022.

This is a Phase 1, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of intravenous and subcutaneous administered golimumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

This open-label, single arm study will assess the effect of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) on neutrophils and monitor safety and benefit-risk of RoActemra/Actemra treatment in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to current biologic or non-biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra at a dose of 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks, either as monotherapy or in combination with their current non-biologic DMARD. Anticipated time on study treatment is 52 weeks.
