Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a weekly subcutaneous dose of abatacept yields clinical efficacy comparable to that of monthly intravenous doses of abatacept in participants with rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to current methotrexate therapy.

To determine the efficacy and safety of the combination of leflunomide and methotrexate for treating active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in an open noncomparative multicenter trial.

The purpose of this study is to confirm that AZD9056 is effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis with regard to signs and symptoms and to determine what dose is favourable over a 6-month treatment period. Patients will receive background treatment with either Methotrexate or Sulphasalazine

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (Syk) inhibitor, R935788 (R788), at a dose of 100 mg, orally, twice-a-day, and/or a dose of of 150 mg, orally, once-a-day is effective in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthrits in patients who have had an inadequate clinical response to methotrexate.

This 2-arm study assessed the safety and efficacy of tocilizumab versus placebo, both in combination with disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), in regard to reduction in signs and symptoms, in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis with an inadequate response to DMARDs. Patients were randomized in a ratio of 2:1 to receive either tocilizumab 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) or placebo IV every 4 weeks. All patients also received stable antirheumatic therapy, including permitted DMARDs. The anticipated time on study treatment was 3-12 months and the target sample size was 500+ individuals.

The hypothesis of this study is that the p38 inhibitor (PH-797804) will be safe and well tolerated in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis who are taking methotrexate and will not effect the blood levels of methotrexate.

This trial will test the hypothesis that the administration of CF101, a novel anti-inflammatory agent, to patients with rheumatoid arthritis and high A3AR expression at baseline will relieve signs and symptoms of the disease.

That anti-TNF therapy and rituximab therapy are equally effective in treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis who meet the eligibility criteria for biologic therapy in the British Society for Rheumatology guidelines, and have not previously been exposed to biologic therapy.

Study 1304 is a Phase I dose escalation study conducted in adults with persistent moderate (grade 2) or severe (grade 3) swelling due to inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis) in at least one peripheral joint eligible for injection. Disease must not be severe enough to warrant use of a TNF-alpha antagonist in the next three months. Current use of TNF-alpha antagonists is not permitted. Subjects with rheumatoid arthritis must have had an adequate trial of at least one disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) prior to screening. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of intra-articular administration of tgAAC94.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety, and immunogenicity of abatacept after subcutaneous and intravenous administration in Japanese participants with active rheumatoid arthritis and inadequate response to methotrexate.
