Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This open-label study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate or other non-biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in participants with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an inadequate response to current non-biologic DMARD therapy or the first anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agent. Participants will receive tocilizumab 162 milligrams (mg) subcutaneously once a week for 52 weeks.

This open-label, single arm study evaluated the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients received RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks, alone or in combination with standard anti-rheumatic therapy, for 12 weeks.

This multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase IIIb study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous RoActemra/Actemra alone or in combination with non-biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in rheumatoid arthritis patients in Latin America with an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs.

Primary Objective: -To demonstrate that sarilumab added to methotrexate (MTX) reduce signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Japanese RA participants with an inadequate response to MTX. Secondary Objective: -To assess the safety of sarilumab added to MTX in Japanese RA participants with an inadequate response to MTX.

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.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of JNJ-38518168 on the pharmacokinetics (how the body handles a drug) of methotrexate in participants with rheumatoid arthritis.

Summary: The investigators propose a randomized controlled open label study of teriparatide in men or women with rheumatoid arthritis and joint erosions. Specifically, the investigators will examine whether teriparatide in combination with a biologic can retard the development of joint erosions. The study will be conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital Arthritis Center, several Brigham and Women's Hospital Arthritis Center satellite practices, the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, and Massachusetts General Hospital. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that the combination of teriparatide with biologic will be much more effective at retarding erosion progression then a biologic alone.

This study will compare injection site pain levels between current Humira® formulation versus a new formulation of Humira in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), who are either currently on a stable dose (minimum six consecutive doses) of on-label Humira or biological naïve who will be prescribed on-label Humira as treatment for their Rheumatoid Arthritis. The study is being conducted in three countries, Australia (3 sites), Canada (2 sites), and Germany (2 sites).

This was an 18-month, multi-center, open-label, clinical extension study. Patients completing earlier second extension studies (CACZ885H2356E2 and CACZ885H2357E2) continued to be treated in this combined extension 3 study for any new gouty arthritis flare on demand with one subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of canakinumab 150 mg.

This Phase IV clinical study is to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of CELBESTA® and CELEBREX® in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
