Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This study will integrate Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacometrics, to explore an effective concentration of MTXPGn for JIA pediatric patients, and set up a Population Pharmacokinetics model to provide reference for individual administration on JIA pediatric patients.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease, belonging to the wide spectrum of spondyloarthritis, but with the particularity to be associated with personal psoriasis or familial psoriasis. PsA can be a very disabling disease through progressive and irreversible joint damage. Long-term functional prognosis of patients with PsA is correlated with the presence and severity of the radiographic joint lesions of the disease. However, the proportion of patients who will develop those peripheral joint damages is not yet known and less over the factors which are associated/involved in such an aggressive pattern of the disease. Early identification of this subgroup of patients is particularly important for determining early "intensive" treatment, strict management with a Treat To Target approach, and identification of new treatments with a stronger structural effect. The main objective of this prospective 10 years cohort is to describe the 5 years structural (radiographic) severity of recent PsA with recent peripheral arthritis.Some of the secondary objectives are to describe the 10 years structural severity within those patients, and to determine the predictive factors of those 5 and 10 years radiographic lesions (genetic, environmental, clinic, therapeutic factors). APACHE will provide a unique longitudinal standardized database concerning patients with PsA with very recent peripheral arthritis. Research projects which will based on those collected data should allow to identify the mechanisms of aggressive joint damage, to highlight mew treatments targets, to better describe the burden of the disease, to test previous or develop new assessments tolls, to develop early diagnostic criteria

The purpose of this study is to create and test a patient decision aid that facilitates the shared decision-making process when patients with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis are starting or switching to a new therapy.

This is an investigational new drug clinical trial for combined Phase 1 dose escalation study and Phase 2a randomized, placebo controlled and double blinded study using intravenous injection of autologous adipose stem cells (Celltex AdMSCs) for rheumatoid arthritis patients. All subjects are monitored for safety (adverse events/severe adverse events) and evaluated for RAPID3, DAS28 and ACR20 regarding AdMSCs up to 52 weeks study duration.

The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness in routine clinical practice and actual clinical setting for all patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with peficitinib.

To collect information on the safety and effectiveness of Infliximab BS for Intravenous Drip Infusion 100 mg "Pfizer" against rheumatoid arthritis under actual status of use.

This is a phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-dose, clinical trial examining the safety and biological effects of allogeneic fresh human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell product BX-U001, given by intravenous (IV) infusion, to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with moderate to severe disease activity, who are not well controlled by their current treatments. Two doses of BX-U001 will be tested in 16 patients. The subjects will receive a one-time IV infusion of BX-U001 and monitored for 52 weeks.

A prospective, multi-centre, non-comparative, post-market clinical follow-up study to evaluate the survivorship, safety and performance of the Freedom® Total Knee System in the treatment of approximately 450 subjects who in the surgeon's opinion require a primary total knee replacement due to severe knee joint pain and loss of mobility due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis at upto 15 centers in the United Kingdom (UK). The primary objective of this study is to obtain implant survivorship and clinical outcomes data for commercially available Freedom® Total Knee System used in total knee replacement. Subjects must meet all the study inclusion / exclusion criteria before enrolment in the study. Subjects will be requested to attend out-patients clinic for clinical follow-up (CFU) or approached for telephonic follow-up (TFU) post-operatively as mentioned below. Clinical & Telephonic Follow-up details: 6-8 weeks ± 1week (Clinical follow-up) 1 year ± 1 month (Clinical follow-up) 3 years ± 6 months (Clinical follow-up) 5 years ± 6 month (Clinical follow-up (optional) / Telephonic follow-up) 10 years± 6 month (Clinical follow-up (optional) / Telephonic follow-up)

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Qingzhu Granules in the treatment of Acute Gouty Arthritis ( Damp heat pattern)

The goal of this observational study is to determine the frequency of psychological distress caused by the rheumatoid arthritis disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to determine the factors associated with the distress. A routine rheumatoid arthritis patient examination (number of swollen and tender joints, disease activity, functional status, etc.) will be performed by the doctor to evaluate the patients. Patients will be asked to fill out the questionnaires to evaluate their functional status and distress levels. Demographic data such as age, gender, body mass index and disease duration will be recorded during routine follow-up of the patients. The duration of morning stiffness, the number of swollen and tender joints, disease activity and functional status will be evaluated by the doctor. Disease activity will be evaluated with the DAS 28 score and functional status will be evaluated with the Health Assessment Questionnaire. Rheumatoid Arthritis Distress Scale (RADS) will be used to evaluate the distress due to rheumatoid arthritis.Patients will be asked to fill out the questionnaires to evaluate their functional status and distress levels.
