Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

Analysis of effect of anti-TNFα treatment on HBV reactivation among patients with systemic rheumatic disease, especially rheumatoid arthritis

The purpose of this study is to prove that efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of BCD-020 is equivalent to MabThera when used in combination with methotrexate for the treatment of patient with rheumatoid arthritis

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of NNC0215-0384 administered to subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) concomitantly treated with methotrexate (MTX).

To estimate the rate of immunological answer 1 month after antipneumococcal vaccination by the conjugated vaccine Prevenar13 ® in patients suffered from rheumatoid polyarthritis and who begin a treatement by methotrexate either in the same time, either 1 month later.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of ABP 501 against adalimumab (HUMIRA®) in adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have an inadequate response to methotrexate (MTX).

A multi-center, open-label single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab administered as a single, weekly injection in adults with rheumatoid arthritis. Combination therapy with methotrexate or other non-biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) was permitted.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MabThera in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to one prior anti-TNF alpha inhibitor. MabThera-naive patients will be stratified into 3 arms, according to previous inadequate response to a)etanercept, b)infliximab or c)adalimumab. Patients will be treated with MabThera (1g infusion) on day 1 and day 15, and will continue their basic methotrexate therapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Dactylitis is a poor prognostic factor in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. The efficacy of synthetic or biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) on dactylitis has not been previously studied in randomized controlled trials as a primary endpoint. In this investigator initiated clinical trial the investigators aim to test the hypothesis that the combination therapy of golimumab and methotrexate (MTX) will result in a significant improvement of dactylitis in comparison with MTX monotherapy, in MTX naïve psoriatic arthritis patients, at week 24. Similarly the efficacy on enthesitis, peripheral and axial involvement, skin and nail psoriasis, inflammation and damage of the feet and hands assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), composite indexes of disease activity, remission, function and quality of life will be determined. This is a national multicentre, interventional, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel design trial. 136 patients with active dactylitis, refractory to at least two systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), at optimal dosage, for 3 months will be included and centrally randomized to golimumab in combination with MTX versus MTX monotherapy, in a 1:1 ratio. The study duration will be 24 weeks. The investigators expect the results from this trial will contribute to a better definition of the treatment algorithm of PsA patients with dactylitis.

Purpose: To compare a nurse-led clinic including person-centered care and tight control with "care as usual" in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and moderate/ high disease activity. Project description: Study population: Patients with RA, 18-80 yrs old, with moderate/ high Disease Activity Score of 28 joints (DAS28 > 3.8) and disease duration > 2 yrs in a 6-month randomized controlled study with a 6 month open follow-up. Intervention group (N=60): Nurse-led visits every 6th week, with structured person-centered care and evaluation of disease activity. If disease remission is not reached, pharmacological treatment including both short-term (intra-articular and oral steroids) and long-term alterations (DMARDs and biologics) is modified according to a predefined algorithm. The control group (N=60) is treated according to "care as usual" with visits to physician every 6th month. Outcome measures: Primary outcome measure is change in Diseases Activity Score (DAS). Secondary outcomes are quality of life, self-efficacy, disability, emotional well-being, pain, fatigue, sleep and satisfaction.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of up to 800 mg in Part A (evaluated in planned steps of 5, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300 mg under fasted conditions, followed by 300, 400, 600 and 800 mg HMPL-523 under fed conditions of a standard meal, followed by multiple doses of 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg of HMPL-523 in Part B, in healthy male volunteers. The secondary objective is to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of single (Part A) and multiple (Part B) oral doses of HMPL-523 in healthy male volunteers and to determine the preliminary effect of food (Part C）
