Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness of Sustained Acoustic Medicine (SAM) treatment combined with diclofenac ultrasound coupling gel in patients with stage II and stage III knee osteoarthritis. The ability of the device to reduce pain, increase mobility, increase function of the affected leg, and improve quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis will be evaluated.

The present prospective trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of CyMedica Orthopedics e-vive™ system, a multifunctional electrotherapy device providing neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for reducing pain and accelerating functional recovery in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This post-market trial will involve patients who have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, Kelgren-Lawrence Grades II, III, and IV. It is hypothesized that the use of the CyMedica e-vive NMES can reduce pain, improve knee function, and improve quality of life.

This was an open phase I trial to evaluate the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, safety and clinical activity profiles of anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody SM03 in patients with active RA.

The study will assess the impact of pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and immunogenicity after switches between PF-06410293 and adalimumab and with continuous dosing with adalimumab in combination with methotrexate in subjects with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis.

This is a study to demonstrate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared with placebo in the treatment of tumor necrosis factor alpha-inadequate responders (TNFα-IR) subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA).

This study is an open-label, randomized, fasted, single dose, crossover study to evaluate the bioequivalence of Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical "Chong Kun Dang Tofacitinib Tablet" and Pfizer Korea Inc. "XELJANZ 5Mg Tablet" in healthy volunteers

The main objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the abatacept drug product converted from drug substance by a new drug substance process (Treatment A) relative to the current drug substance process (Treatment B) following a single dose (750 mg) intravenous (IV) infusion in healthy participants.

It is a randomized, double-blinded, single-dose, 3-arm parallel, comparative study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and immunogenicity of BAT1806 Injection vs Actemra® (EU-licensed and US-licensed) in healthy Chinese male subjects. A total of 138 subjects are planned to be included and randomized at a ratio of 1:1:1 to receive single intravenous drip of 4 mg/kg BAT1806 Injection or Actemra® (EU-licensed and US-licensed). The study has a screening period of 7 days. PK blood samples will be collected from subjects to determine the serum concentration of tocilizumab, thus to evaluate the change and similarity of the pharmacokinetics of the three study drugs. The investigator will perform safety evaluation for vital signs, physical examinations, injection site reaction, ECG, clinical laboratory tests and adverse events throughout the study. Immunogenicity evaluation (ADA, ADA titration and nAb) will also be evaluated.

Methotrexate (MTX) co-medication can improve the therapeutic effect of biological therapies (e.g. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -inhibitors) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but its role in Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) remains unclear. No data from Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) are available to address the questions whether add-on of MTX to UST monotherapy, or a withdrawal of continuous MTX therapy in patients with newly initiated Ustekinumab (UST) treatment or simultaneously induction of MTX with UST in naive active PsA-patients will influence outcome measurements. So, the purpose of the study is to analyse the effects of blinded MTX-co-medication on outcome in patients treated with UST: Non-inferiority at week 24 of UST monotherapy compared to add-on to MTX in patients with active PsA and at least 12 weeks of MTX treatment prior to screening or who are actually not treated with MTX and do not have prior inadequate response to MTX-treatment for PsA will be demonstrated.

A study will be conducted to assess if adults and older adults with arthritis who ride horses are able to move better, have less pain, enjoy nature more and have a better quality of life then people who go to class to learn about exercise. This is needed because adults with arthritis experience joint pain, stiffness, damage to their cartilage, and decreased range of motion in their hips, knees, shoulders, and back. This study will measure effects on patient's joints, pain, quality of life, muscle and cartilage before and after either arthritis exercise education or horse riding. Horses have unique movements that target joints without weight bearing and possibly show improvements without joint damage. Twenty two subjects will be assigned to either the equine-assisted therapy (EAT) group or a group receiving exercise education for 1 hour each week for 6 weeks. Outcomes of pain, joint mobility and quality of life are measured at 0, 3 and 6 weeks. Enjoyment will be determined by a survey. Safety procedures include helmets, side walking attendants for balance, and controlled by a certified riding instructor at a certified riding center. Data will be gathered and reviewed, to assess the effects of EAT on arthritis.
