Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

Ever since the biotherapy agents have entered the market, the recommended therapeutic objective in Rheumatoid arthritis, has been remission. Once obtained, it is advised to try to reduce or cease these biotherapy agents, for which, their efficacy is counterbalanced to their tolerance in the medium and long term as well as their high price. Nevertheless, we do not dispose considerable data on the risks of relapse or structural progression during such a step down strategy. A few studies on anti-TNF agents have shown the possibility of such therapy reduction. A national study, " STRASS ", coordinated by Bruno FAUTREL, has evaluated the possibility of spacing or even stopping the injections of anti-TNF(s). To date, no data concerning Abatacept or Tocilizumab has been published. As the expected result, this study is aimed to test the feasibility of a step down strategy on 2 biological agents, Abatacept and Tocilizumab, in RA patients in remission.

This multicenter study with a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group phase will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in combination with methotrexate versus RoActemra/Actemra monotherapy in patients with mild to moderate rheumatoid arthritis, with an inadequate response to methotrexate. Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks plus oral methotrexate 15-25 mg weekly for 12 weeks. Patients with a good/moderate EULAR response will then be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra plus methotrexate or RoActemra/Actemra plus placebo for the following 12 weeks. Anticipated time on study treatment is 6 months.

This study will investigate the efficacy of both low and high doses of methotrexate (MTX) in combination with open-label adalimumab (ADA) in patients who have had an inadequate response to high dose of MTX. The study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of the two regimens of MTX in combination with ADA in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of different doses of methotrexate (MTX) when taken with adalimumab in subjects with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LY3009104 in participants with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (at which rate the drug is eliminated from the body) of NNC 151-0000-0000 in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and acceptability of a device used in place of traditional syringes for abatacept self-injection.

This is a phase Ⅲ multicenter, open-label, follow-up study, to assess the safety and efficacy of certolizumab pegol (CZP) as additional medication to methotrexate (MTX), in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who participated in Study (Protocol) # 101-KOA-0801i.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking methotrexate but not responding. The study will last for 1 year.

This is a Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study enrolling patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
