Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This study will assess the long-term safety and efficacy of repeating treatment with MabThera, in combination with methotrexate and steroids, in patients who were previously randomized into MabThera study WA17042. The anticipated time on study treatment is until Mabthera is available on the local market and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The primary objective is to investigate the efficacy of sirukumab monotherapy compared with adalimumab monotherapy in biologic naïve subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who are intolerant to methotrexate, who are considered inappropriate for treatment with methotrexate or who are inadequate responders to methotrexate.

Primary Objective: To collect real-use data of the sarilumab auto-injector device (AID) used by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participants. Secondary Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure of sarilumab administered by AID versus prefilled syringes (PFS).

The purpose of this study is to determine the relative effectiveness of two drug agents, Tranexamic acid (TXA) and aminocaproic acid (Amicar), that act through a similar mechanism of action. These agents are used to decrease blood loss that is a result of major surgery, like total joint arthroplasty. A secondary goal will be investigate the cost-analysis of total hospitalization. Both TXA and Amicar are both currently used in the care of patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. Subjects will be randomly assigned to the TXA or Amicar arm. All data needed for this study including blood loss, need for transfusion, preoperative and lowest postoperative hematocrit and hemoglobin, and complications will be collected during the hospitalization stay. Our Hypothesis is that TXA and Amicar will have similar effectiveness in preventing intraoperative blood loss and the need for transfusion post-op than Amicar. A detailed cost analysis will show that the overall cost of performing the operative procedure, including transfusions, OR time, and total costs associated with admission cost will be more decreased with Amicar as compared to TXA.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fang yi qing Feng shi granules in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

This study is intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) for inducing and sustaining clinical response in the treatment of Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drug (DMARD)-naïve adults with early active Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the long term safety of CP-690,550 in patients being treated for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis. This study will also to compare the efficacy of two oral doses of CP-690,550 (5 mg BID and 10 mg BID) after 16 weeks of treatment.

Primary Objective: Assess the comparative safety and tolerability of two SAR153191 (REGN88) drug products after a single dose administration in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Secondary Objective: Assess the comparative pharmacokinetic profiles of the two SAR153191 (REGN88) drug products after a single dose administration in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

The hypothesis of this study is that subcutaneous Abatacept is effective in reducing synovial inflammation, osteitis, and erosions in Rheumatoid Arthritis as assessed by low field extremity MRI and X-ray.

This open-label, multi-center, two-arm, uncontrolled and non-randomized study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients will receive 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra intravenously every 4 weeks for 12 weeks and - if adequately responded - for further 12 weeks. Patients, who show an inadequate clinical response after the first 12 weeks to RoActemra/Actemra, will receive 1 g MabThera/Rituxan (rituximab) intravenously at Week 16 and 18. The anticipated time of study treatment is 32 weeks.
