Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This study will look at whether this new drug is effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and at whether it is safe and well-tolerated by participants with the disease.

A six-month clinical research trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational medication for the treatment of dry eye syndrome in patients that have been diagnosed with moderate to severe dry eye syndrome, an autoimmune disorder AND/OR females 65 years of age or older.

This study will examine the efficacy of acupuncture in combination with exercise physical therapy for moderate osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by swelling and inflammation of the joints. In RA, the immune system attacks a person's own cells inside joints, eventually leading to joint damage and disability. This study will determine if oral bovine type II collagen (bovine CII) will lead to decreased joint inflammation in RA patients.

In this 24-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind study, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of subcutaneously injected Yisaipu, a Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Fusion Protein, combined with oral Tripterygium Wilfordii for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) might induce inflammatory potentially serious and even lethal immune related Adverse Events (irAEs). Diarrhea and/or colitis are ones of the most frequently reported irAEs in patients taking ICI. Although the immune mechanisms underlying irAEs have not been fully elucidated, studies suggest that Th17 and Tregs cells, increases in expression of immunologically-related genes, eosinophilia, microbiome among others and cytokines may be involved in the pathophysiology of immune-related complications in some diseases that resemble irAEs, such as colitis and rheumatic manifestations. Importantly, interleukin-6 (IL-6) promotes the differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into Th17 cells (17), and IL-6 inhibition may rebalance the altered Th17-Treg axis without inhibiting the Th1-CD8+ T-cell subsets that govern antitumor immunity. These findings raise the possibility of using IL-6 blockade as a strategy for treating colitis and arthritis induced by immune checkpoint blockade.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of TAS5315 in combination with methotrexate in a 12 week or 36 week in participants with rheumatoid arthritis with inadequate response to methotrexate.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety, and immunogenicity of KN019 after intravenous administration on background methotrexate in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and inadequate response to methotrexate.

This study explores the efficacy and feasibility of a self-management wellness intervention that is integrated, prescriptive, and trackable in a population of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) taking a biologic. This 30-day wellness intervention (called "KickStart30") combines five wellness elements: exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness, and nutrition. Additionally, the program requires that participants implement 5 wellness interventions daily for the 30-day study, document daily online adherence, complete daily HERO (happiness, enthusiasm, resilience, and optimism) exercises to improve mental wellness, and complete online program forms before and after the 30-day intervention. Participants are assessed pre- and post-intervention to determine whether the intervention promotes wellness behavior changes.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common type of autoimmune arthritis that is characterized by inflammation of the synovial membranes. Even though any joint can be affected by the disease, cervical spine is often affected, and cervical pain is reported by 40-88% of RA patients, Cervical spine involvement is a feature of long-lasting disease, where atlantoaxial impaction with odontoid process vertical subluxation through the foramen magnum being one of the greatest and dangerous complications
