Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The primary purpose of the study is to help answer the following research questions, and not to provide treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): The safety of LY2439821 and any side effects that might be associated with it. Whether LY2439821 can help participants with active RA. How much LY2439821 should be given to participants.

The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of SC12267 (4SC-101, 35 mg) in combination with methotrexate in comparison to methotrexate alone in the treatment of patients suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Purpose: To investigate into the differential effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids as compared to standard control therapy (olive oil) on disease activity and biochemical parameters in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), resp. psoriasis arthritis (PA).

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study that will enroll approximately 40 systemic lupus erythematosus subjects with active lupus arthritis.

A Canadian study to evaluate early use of adalimumab after methotrexate failure in early rheumatoid arthritis. The study hypothesis will verify if adalimumab effectively reduces joint damage in more participants when introduced earlier than in current practice.

Phase IIIb study to determine early response to Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) score Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Clinical Trials (OMERACT) RA MRI Scoring System (RAMRIS) in subjects with RA.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY2439821 subcutaneously administered for 48 weeks in Japanese participants with rheumatoid arthritis who have completed Study I1F-JE-RHAL (NCT01253265).

This study is to evaluate efficacy of 6 months treatment of tacrolimus in active Rheumatoid Arthritis patients who showed unsuccessful response against methotrexate.

Part A: 30 patients suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis despite continued treatment with methotrexate will receive once daily two capsules containing either GLPG0259 (25 mg/capsule) or matching placebo, for 12 weeks. In the course of the study the patients will be examined for severity of disease, as well as for any adverse effects that may occur. If needed, dosing may be split to one capsule twice daily, or reduced to one capsule of 25 mg. Part B: If results of Part A suggest test medication to have a therapeutic advantage over placebo and to be well-tolerated, more patients will be recruited for Part B, where various dosages will be assessed. These dosages will be established based on results from Part A.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab vs placebo, in combination with stable, ongoing therapy, with regard to reduction in signs and symptoms in patients with moderate to severe active RA and inadequate response to current DMARD treatment
