Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

Regular physical activity is important for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sleep requirements for adults should be on a 'sleep needs spectrum' of between 7 to 9 hours per day. Poor sleep is a common complaint among people with RA, which may have an effect on their activity levels and well-being. There is evidence that physical activity and exercise can improve sleep quality and disturbances in other chronic disease populations therefore, examining how same affects sleep in RA is important.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fluidotherapy primarily on function and quality of life, secondarily on pain, morning stiffness, grip strength, and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid hand.Ninety-three patients were enrolled in this prospective, single-blind, randomized, and controlled trial. Patients were randomized into 2 groups. Group 1 (n=47) had fluidotherapy (5 times per week, for 3-week duration) and Group 2 (n=46) was the control group. All patients received joint protection and exercise program. The primary outcome measures were Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and Duruöz Hand Index (DHI) and secondary outcome measures were pain and morning stiffness assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS, 0-100 mm), the Grip Ability Test (GAT), Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS-28), and grip strength. These assessments were performed at baseline, at week 3 and week 12 after treatment.

This is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab (162 milligrams [mg] every 2 weeks [Q2W]) given as monotherapy and in combination with MTX versus MTX given as monotherapy, in participants with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have inadequate response to current DMARD therapy. The study comprises a 24-week double-blind treatment phase, followed by a 24-week extension phase.

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of ASP1707 twice daily on the pharmacokinetics of once weekly oral methotrexate (MTX). This study will also evaluate the effect of MTX on multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of ASP1707, as well as safety and tolerability of coadministration of ASP1707 and MTX in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of MSB11022 and Humira® in adult participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of ASP1707 in combination with MTX in postmenopausal female patients with RA.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of GS-9876 versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in participants with active RA as measured by change from baseline in Disease Activity Score for 28 joint count using C-reactive protein (CRP) (DAS28 (CRP)) at Week 12.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of JTE-051 administered for 12 weeks in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who are receiving background non-biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug therapy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects BMS-986195 in healthy male subjects.

The primary objective of this study is: - To assess the efficacy and safety of dose regimens of ALX-0061 monotherapy administered subcutaneously (s.c.) to subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The secondary objectives of this study are: To assess the effects of ALX-0061 on quality of life, the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of ALX-0061 and to explore potential dose regimens for ALX-0061 monotherapy, based on safety and efficacy, for further clinical development. To obtain parallel descriptive information concerning the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab (TCZ) s.c. in the same clinical trial RA population.
