Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This study is designed to develop our understanding of the efficacy and safety of using lumiracoxib in the treatment of patients with acute gout. This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel group study comparing a single daily dose of 400 mg lumiracoxib with the established dose of indomethacin 50 mg taken three times a day in terms of efficacy

This study tested the safety, tolerability and efficacy of lumiracoxib - a COX-2 inhibitor- in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Outpatient Physiotherapy versus a Self-Administered Home Exercise Program Following Discharge Home from Total Hip Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of infliximab (an anti-TNF chimeric monoclonal antibody [cA2]) in patients with active Rheumatoid Arthritis, despite methotrexate treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy to clear or almost clear the plaques in plaque psoriasis patients, treated with the combination etanercept and methotrexate compared to etanercept alone.

A 24 week study in which patients are given study medication and assessed for signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. X-rays are performed to assess the progress of joint damage during the study.

Imatinib is a member of a new class of drugs known as signal transduction inhibitors. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of imatinib in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in combination with methotrexate in patients who do not respond satisfactorily to standard treatment, e.g. methotrexate.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of Enbrel (etanercept) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) subjects with greater than or equal to 1 documented comorbid disease (diabetes mellitus; chronic pulmonary disease; pneumonia within the last year; or recurrent bronchitis, sinusitis, or urinary tract infection) that might increase infection risk.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 3 dose levels of oral ERB-041 administered daily for 12 weeks versus placebo in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had a suboptimal response to therapy with stable doses of methotrexate (MTX).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the percentage of subjects in Australian clinical practice continuing treatment with Anakinra (Kineret®) at the end of study week 48 in subjects with active RA. The continued use of Kineret® will be based on pre-defined response assessment criteria for subjects with active RA.
