Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether simultaneous supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E is effective in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

An open-label, PhaseⅢ study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MRA in patients with RA

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of different treatment regimens of rituximab (MabThera®/Rituxan®), corticosteroids, and placebo, combined with methotrexate (MTX), in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if it is safe for rheumatoid arthritis patients to take BMS-582949 along with methotrexate.

This clinical study is investigating AMG 719, an investigational drug, for the treatment of patients who have Rheumatoid Arthritis and who are taking Methotrexate. AMG 719 is a drug which is self-injected beneath the skin (similarly to the way insulin is self-injected by diabetics). Patients on this study are on study for 28-weeks. They visit the study facility at least 11 times while participating in the study.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a humanized monoclonal antibody (efalizumab) is safe and effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether abatacept treatment on a background of Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) will relieve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in participants who are currently receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy for at least 3 months and are not responding or have taken anti-TNF therapy in the last 3 months and did not respond. The safety of treatment with abatacept will also be evaluated. This study also has a 4.5-year long-term extension beginning 6 months after the start of the study.

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if abatacept is safe when co-administered with other approved rheumatoid arthritis medications.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety by collecting serious adverse events in subjects with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who are unable to obtain etanercept and who have failed one or more prior disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

Paxceed™ is being developed by Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The main objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of treatment with Paxceed™ in patients with RA. In RA, there is an increase in cell growth and changes in cell function. The active substance in Paxceed™, paclitaxel, has undergone clinical studies as a cancer chemotherapeutic agent and has demonstrated its usefulness as an agent that stops growth of cells and blocks certain types of cell function associated with RA. Because of these effects, it is thought that Paxceed™ might alter the destructive course of RA.
