Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The best treatment plan for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is often complicated. Patients and clinicians often don't know what is the best treatment strategy for a given patient at a given time. The purpose of this study is to develop a method to analyze data in situations where the treatment and disease state change over time. The researchers will develop a web-based package that will use the methods developed in this study. The package will be easy to use and allow dissemination of the methods to the public.

This prospective, multicenter, observational study will evaluate the use of concomitant glucocorticoid therapy in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) being treated with tocilizumab in daily clinical practice. Participants will be observed for up to 52 weeks after starting treatment with tocilizumab. All visits and assessments will be performed as per routine clinical practice, with no study-specific visits or interventions.

The study is designed as a prospective, observational study to assess the effect of adalimumab on health-related quality of life (QoL) and work productivity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Taiwan.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the percentage of participants treated with subcutaneous (SC) Tocilizumab who are still on treatment after 52 weeks and the factors that play a major role in continuation of treatment.

This Phase IV post-marketing, non-interventional, open label, non-comparative and prospective study will examine the efficacy and safety of rituximab in participants who had previously received rituximab in terms of everyday medical practice. Efficacy and safety of rituximab will be determined 24 weeks after receiving the first infusion, 24 weeks after the second infusion repeated courses of treatment (if the participants receive another course of rituximab) and 24 weeks after the third infusion repeated courses of treatment (if the participants receive third course of rituximab). Protocol does not specify the criteria for initiation of treatment with rituximab and procedure of the infusion of rituximab. Rituximab will be administered at the discretion of treating physician according to approved label.

A special investigation (post marketing observational study [PMOS]/non-mandatory) of HUMIRA® in Japanese psoriatic arthritis patients who are engaged in paid work.

The family of inflammatory/autoimmune systemic diseases (IAD) form a continuum from pure inflammatory diseases to pure autoimmune diseases, encompassing a large panel of inflammatory diseases with some autoimmune components, and vice versa. Cross phenotyping of patients with IAD should be heuristic and help revise the nosography and the understanding of these diseases.

Heart disease is the major contributor of early death in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is not influenced by traditional risk factors. Blood vessel dysfunction has been associated with heart disease and complications such as heart attack. The vessel dysfunction is thought to be mediated in part to inflammation. RA patients have evidence of vessel dysfunction seen on ultrasound that improves after medications are given. The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with controlled or uncontrolled rheumatoid arthritis to determine if there is a difference in the protein expression in the cells that line the blood vessels compared to healthy people.

Non-interventional, prospective, observational study to assess the relative risk of anti-CCP positive patients to develop (subclinical) signs of inflammation in accordance with early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in a population without pre-classified RA but new1 onset of non-specific musculoskeletal (MSK) symptoms in general practices in Germany and subsequent 36 months follow-up by rheumatologists

This study is aimed to describe the outcomes related to physical activity, activity of disease, quality of life, work productivity and safety in Latin-American patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) treated with tofacitinib or biological DMARDs after failure to respond to conventional DMARDs in real-life conditions. This will be a non-interventional, hybrid study (prospective and retrospective data collection) comparing tofacitinib to biologic DMARD treatments in patients with RA after failure of conventional DMARDs. The population will be composed by adult patients over 18 years of age diagnosed with RA and who have been prescribed tofacitinib or any biological DMARDs.
