Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The investigators hypothesize that the anabolic effects of Genotropin (somatropin) will improve the height and weight of children with inflammatory based chronic illness who have failed to grow despite receiving adequate nutrition. The investigators will test the hypothesis by treating 32 chronically ill children (16 JRA and 16 Crohn's) with growth hormone (GH) for 12 months and comparing them to baseline.

This study will investigate the pharmacokinetic (PK) / total IL-1beta pharmacodynamic (PD) relationship in joint fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with different doses of ACZ885 and to evaluate the impact of the subcutaneous (s.c.) versus intravenous (i.v.) route of administration.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether HuMax-CD4 is effective in the treatment of active RA in participants who have failed treatment with MTX and at least one TNF-alpha blocking agent.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of filgotinib compared to placebo as assessed by the American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement (ACR20) response in participants with active psoriatic arthritis who have an inadequate response or are intolerant to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) therapy.

RA is a chronic, systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease which requires treatment for a long time period, hence it is important to study the long-term safety and efficacy of the continuous treatment with GSK3196165 over several years. This is a Phase 3, multicenter, parallel group treatment and long-term extension study primarily to assess safety with efficacy assessment as a secondary objective. Adult participants with RA who have completed the treatment phase of a qualifying GSK3196165 clinical studies (Phase 3 studies contRAst 1 (201790: NCT03980483), contRAst 2 (201791: NCT03970837) and contRAst 3 (202018: NCT04134728) and who, in investigator's judgement will benefit from extended treatment with GSK3196165 will be included in this study (contRAst X [209564: NCT04333147]). Participants will continue to receive the same background conventional synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug(s) [csDMARD(s)] treatment as they received in their qualifying study. Eligible participants will be enrolled to receive weekly GSK3196165 90 milligrams (mg) or 150 mg by subcutaneous (SC) injection. The anticipated study duration is approximately 4 years which will enable participants to receive treatment with GSK3196165 until it is expected to become commercially available. Approximately 3000 participants from the qualifying studies will participate in this long-term extension study

The overall goal of this study is to identify risk and prognosis factors of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

This is a multicenter, centrally registered observational study without a control group. This observational study is a specified drug use-results survey conducted under GPSP to collect information on safety and efficacy during the observation period (52 weeks after the start of treatment with this drug) in pediatric patients with psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatic arthritis, or pustular psoriasis who received this drug.

The aim of the study is to provide long term follow up data on the performance and safety of the Corin MiniHip and Trinity acetabular cup over a 10-year period.

A range of different drugs are available to treat psoriatic arthritis (PsA) inflammation. However, clinicians are unable to predict who will respond well to a given drug, who will fail to respond and who will develop side effects. Responder/non-responder effects may also differ for the skin and joint domains of PsA. Patients currently undergo a trial and error phase of treatment, sometimes withstanding a period of nonresponse, and thus pain and discomfort, for a period of time. Treatment failures also waste resources and undermine patient confidence. There is a pressing need to identify predictors for response / non response and side effects, and this study will utilise novel bioinformatics approaches to address this need. The samples and clinical information collected from participants in the TICOPA (Effect of tight control of inflammation in early psoriatic arthritis) study (1) are a valuable resource. The investigators aim to use these existing serum samples to determine the potential of molecular markers to predict patients' response to treatment both with regard to effects and side effects. This analysis could potentially lead to the identification of serum and clinical parameters which when measured in a defined combination would be predictive of patients' response to treatment. 1 https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(15)00347-5

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of CDP6038 (olokizumab) treatment in adult subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who completed study RA0056 (NCT01242488).
