Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This open-label, single arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with active, moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or anti-TNF. Patients will receive RoActemra/Actemra at a dose of 8 mg/kg (max 800 mg) intravenously every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusions. Non-biologic DMARD therapy may be continued throughout the study. Anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, dose escalation study in healthy male and or female subjects and subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) to determine the safety and tolerability of MORAb-022.

The purpose of this study is to compare a standardized 6 week Iyengar Yoga program (IYP) for adolescents and young adults with rheumatoid arthritis to a standard care wait-list condition. In addition to effects on function and pain, this study will explore intervention effects on disease activity, immune response, HRQOL, functionality, and mood. Results will shed light on the feasibility and potential efficacy of a novel intervention (Iyengar yoga) for rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. The hypotheses are: The IYP will be safe, acceptable and feasible: at least 80% of subjects will complete the IYP. Following the IYP, participants will show significantly improved disease status, general functioning, arthritis-functioning and HRQOL relative to controls. The benefits will be apparent post-treatment and at two-month follow-up. Following the IYP, participants will report significantly improved pain, immune response and mood compared to controls. These improvements will be evident at both post-treatment and at two-month follow-up.

This study is a randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat dose study of otelixizumab administered subcutaneously in rheumatoid arthritis patients. One cohort will receive a single dose of adalimumab (HUMIRA, Abbott) as rescue medication to assess additional concomitant safety and tolerability issues.

This is the trial to see how our product is similar to remicade by comparing the results of blood samples when co-administered with methotrexate between 12.5 to 25 mg/week, oral or parenteral dose and folic acid in rheumatoid arthritis patients who are not receiving adequate response to methotrexate alone up to week 30.

The Combinatietherapie Bij Reumatoide Artritis (CoBRA) trial was a milestone in the development of the present treatment paradigm for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This study introduced the principle of fast remission induction by means of a combination of standard Disease Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) and a step down bridge therapy with high dose glucocorticoids in early Rheumatoid Arthritis. The purpose of the present study is to compare different combinations of traditional DMARDs and glucocorticoids, based on the original CoBRA protocol, for treatment of early Rheumatoid Arthritis. Besides the efficacy and effectiveness of these strategies, patient centered outcomes and potential implementation problems of such treatment strategies are evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether apremilast is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with psoriatic arthritis, specifically in improving signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (tender and swollen joints, pain, physical function) in treated patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of MP-435 administered for 12 weeks in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on stable doses of Methotrexate.

Evaluation of efficacy and safety of tofacitinib (CP-690,550) for the treatment of early rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients with moderate to severe disease who are methotrexate naïve. The efficacy will be evaluated by exploring the effects on joint structure assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, x-rays and by standard clinical assessment.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) but not responding. The study will last for 1 year.
