Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CDP870 self-injection administered for 24 weeks or longer in subjects who are participating in the long-term treatment study (Study 275-08-002 or Study 275-08-004) of CDP870 administered concomitantly with or without Methotrexate.

This is an open-label, phase II study of BI 695501 to assess handling experience of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis using an autoinjector. The extension phase is to provide patients with additional exposure to BI 695501 and to enhance the safety database for this compound.

This trial is designed to determine what effects the human body has on the investigational medicine, ABP 798, and what effects the body has on the investigational medicine after you have been given it, and if this is comparable to what is seen for the licensed medicine, rituximab, in patients with moderate or severe RA. This study will also assess if the investigational medicine is safe and effective in treating moderate or severe RA compared to the licensed medicine.

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, 24-week OLE study to assess the safety and tolerability of ABT-122 in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who had had an inadequate response to methotrexate (MTX) therapy and who completed the preceding Study M12-963 randomized controlled trial, in which participants had been randomized to receive 1 of 3 doses of ABT-122 (60 mg every other week [EOW], 120 mg EOW, or 120 mg every week [EW]) or adalimumab 40 mg EOW given on background methotrexate.

Primary Objective: To document the long-term safety of sarilumab added to non-methotrexate (non-MTX) disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or as monotherapy. Secondary Objective: To document the long term efficacy of sarilumab added to non-MTX DMARDs or as monotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of etanercept monotherapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy on maintenance of remission in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were on etanercept plus methotrexate therapy. This is a multicenter, randomized withdrawal, double-blind controlled study in participants with rheumatoid arthritis on etanercept plus methotrexate therapy who are in very good disease control for 6 months prior to study entry. The study will consist of a 30-day screening period, a 24-week open label run-in period, a 48-week double-blind treatment period and a 30-day safety follow-up period.

M2951 is an investigational drug under evaluation for treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of M2951 in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) currently treated with stable dose of methotrexate (MTX).

Regular physical activity is important for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sleep requirements for adults should be on a 'sleep needs spectrum' of between 7 to 9 hours per day. Poor sleep is a common complaint among people with RA, which may have an effect on their activity levels and well-being. There is evidence that physical activity and exercise can improve sleep quality and disturbances in other chronic disease populations therefore, examining how same affects sleep in RA is important.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of fluidotherapy primarily on function and quality of life, secondarily on pain, morning stiffness, grip strength, and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid hand.Ninety-three patients were enrolled in this prospective, single-blind, randomized, and controlled trial. Patients were randomized into 2 groups. Group 1 (n=47) had fluidotherapy (5 times per week, for 3-week duration) and Group 2 (n=46) was the control group. All patients received joint protection and exercise program. The primary outcome measures were Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and Duruöz Hand Index (DHI) and secondary outcome measures were pain and morning stiffness assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS, 0-100 mm), the Grip Ability Test (GAT), Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS-28), and grip strength. These assessments were performed at baseline, at week 3 and week 12 after treatment.

This is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (SC) tocilizumab (162 milligrams [mg] every 2 weeks [Q2W]) given as monotherapy and in combination with MTX versus MTX given as monotherapy, in participants with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have inadequate response to current DMARD therapy. The study comprises a 24-week double-blind treatment phase, followed by a 24-week extension phase.
