Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a single dose of NNC0142-0002 administered to subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

This open-label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on background non-biologic DMARDs who have an inadequate response to current non-biologic DMARDs. Patients will receive 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra as an intravenous infusion every 24 weeks for a total of 6 infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.

To measure the CRE by a work capacity index obtained in a submaximal testing (W65%/kg) in early RA patients treated with tocilizumab compared to Methotrexate alone. The secondary endpoints : analyze the clinical efficacy of Tocilizumab in this population and correlate the CRE response with other marker (CRP, Hb, DAS, HAQ) and evaluate the safety profile of Tocilizumab.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ulodesine and allopurinol combined for 12 weeks are effective in treating gout in patients who are not adequately responding to allopurinol alone.

To evaluate the efficacy of Diacerein 100 mg daily versus placebo in reducing rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, when added to stable oral MTX therapy in patients with active early RA. To evaluate the safety of Diacerein 100 mg daily when administrated in combination with oral MTX therapy in those patients for up to 24 weeks To investigate a potential persistent effect, 4 weeks after Diacerein treatment is stopped (carry-over effect)

The primary purpose of the protocol is to demonstrate the ability of abatacept plus methotrexate to induce remission in patients with very early rheumatoid arthritis after 12 months of treatment and to maintain remission following 6 months of drug withdrawal.

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 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.

A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Phase 2 Study To assess the Immune Response Following Administration of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccines to Subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis receiving CP-690,550 with and Without background Methotrexate
