Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This open-label, single arm, multicenter long-term extension study of WA19926 (NCT01007435) will evaluate the safety and efficacy of tocilizumab in participants with early, moderate to severe RA who have completed the 104-week WA19926 (NCT01007435) core study. Eligible participants will be those who are expected to benefit from the study medicine based on the investigator's discretion.

This open-label, single arm, multicenter long-term extension study of WA19926 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have completed the 104-week WA19926 core study. Eligible patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks for up to 104 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Abatacept after intravenous administration in Japanese children and adolescents with active juvenile idiopathic arthritis who have a history of an inadequate response or intolerance to Methotrexate or biologics

This study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of VX-509 in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on DMARD therapy. This study will enroll subjects who completed a previous designated study with VX-509 (e.g., Study VX12-509-103).

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-122 in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The major goal of this project is to conduct a randomized, controlled trial of the impact of a practical, low cost physical activity intervention on fatigue among persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Fatigue has been identified as a major concern for individuals with RA, and is considered a core outcome measure for RA. Our recent study of the sources of fatigue identified physical inactivity as a primary predictor of fatigue. Studies have examined the impact of exercise interventions on RA outcomes, but most of these interventions have focused on pain or function as outcomes. The few exercise studies examining fatigue suggest that increasing physical activity reduces fatigue, but the interventions have been resource-intensive, requiring specially trained personnel to administer them, highly structured activities, and/or attendance at classes or a specified facility. Each of these components increases the cost and barriers to implementation of an intervention. Pedometers have been shown to be an effective means of increasing physical activity, and could form the basis of a simple means to increase physical activity. This project will test the effect of a simple pedometer-based intervention, with two incremental degrees of guidance, on increasing physical activity and decreasing fatigue. Three groups (n=40 in each) will be studied: a control group with an educational pamphlet only, a pedometer-only intervention group, and a pedometer group with step targets. Both intervention groups will keep step-count diaries. Groups will be followed over 20 weeks. We expect that (1) the pedometer-only intervention group will increase activity more than the education group, and the group with step-count targets will demonstrate even greater increases in activity; and (2) greater increases in activity will be associated with greater decreases in fatigue. Secondary outcome measures will include depressive symptoms, self-reported sleep quality, and body composition. Our overall goal is to demonstrate an effective, yet simple and low cost, physical activity intervention to decrease fatigue that could be broadly accessible and have the potential for wide implementation.

This is a Phase 1, single-dose, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation,multi-center, first time in human study of AMP-110 in adult subjects with rheumatoid arthritis.

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multicentre clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of SB4 compared to Enbrel in subjects with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) despite Methotrexate (MTX) therapy. In some countries, after 52 weeks of treatment with either SB4 or Enbrel, subjects will be enrolled into an open label extension period. Subjects will receive SB4 for an additional 48 weeks.

This multi-center, open-label single arm Phase IIIb study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab administered as monotherapy and/or in combination with methotrexate or other non-biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs.

This study will test the clinical effectiveness and safety of two orally administered doses of apremilast compared to placebo in Japanese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis.
