Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of SM03 compared to placebo in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis(RA) receiving methotrexate

Clinical trial to evaluate Usability of Subcutaneous Auto-injector of CT-P17 in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis

The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of combination of Methotrexate and Statins with Methotrexate alone in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is hypothesized that adding statins to methotrexate for treatment of rheumatic arthritis will significantly suppress the disease activity as compared to methotrexate alone.

This is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, controlled pilot study to assess safety and efficacy of the Vorso PROTECT System in patients who have moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio of treatment to control (non- therapeutic) group after it has been determined they meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Both the treatment and control group participants will be asked to use the VORSO System once a day while maintaining a stable dose of methotrexate throughout the 12-week study. Participants will return to the site at 1, 6 and 12 weeks for follow-up testing.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, multinational, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, active-control study to compare efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, and PK of BAT1806 compared with RoActemra in subjects with RA that is inadequately controlled by MTX. The study is composed of a ≤ 28-day screening period, a 24-week initial treatment period (TP1), a 24 week secondary treatment period (TP2), and an extra 4-week follow-up period.

To compare the efficacy between the HLX01 group and the placebo group through the proportion of subjects meeting the ACR20 improvement criteria for remission

This study aims at evaluating the therapeutic effects of both Nitazoxanide and Escitalopram as adjuvant therapies in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and to evaluate their impact on STAT3/ JAK2, TLR /IL -1β signaling pathways.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammatory synovitis and progressive joint destruction, which are associated with severe disability and increased mortality. It occurs at an incidence of 5 per 1000 with Women being 2 times more likely to be affected by Rheumatoid Arthritis than men. The peak incidence in both groups is in the sixth decade of life. Management of RA has improved substantially in recent years. In addition to the reduction of signs and symptoms, improvement of physical function, and inhibition of structural damage, better patient outcomes, and clinical remission are now considered achievable goals. Therefore, the current recommended primary target for the treatment of RA should be a state of clinical remission. Methotrexate (MTX) should be initiated, typically as monotherapy. If treatment response is inadequate, other Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) may be added to (rather than replacing) methotrexate to enhance efficacy and reduce the potential for the formation of anti-drug antibodies. TNF inhibitors are the first-line biologic therapies used in the event of incomplete response or adverse reaction to conventional DMARDs as TNF alpha is an important proinflammatory cytokine produced by macrophages and other cells, with myriad actions relevant to the pathogenesis of RA, including stimulation of other proinflammatory cytokine production, expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules, production of metalloproteinases, and stimulation of osteoclasts. Activated Janus kinases (JAKs) play pivotal roles in intracellular signaling from cell-surface receptors for multiple cytokines implicated in the pathologic processes of rheumatoid arthritis. Baricitinib, an orally available small molecule, provides reversible inhibition of Janus Kinase 1 (JAK1) and Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) and has shown clinical efficacy in studies involving patients with moderate to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis who are either intolerant to MTX treatment or who have had an inadequate response to DMARDs, either conventional or biologic.
