Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

The purpose of the study is to assess whether, in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, a low-fat, vegan diet improves pain and other subjective symptoms more effectively than a control supplement or a placebo. The principal measure is pain as measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and disease activity as measured by number of painful swollen and tender joints, respectively. The study duration is 36 weeks. This study tests that a low fat, plant-based (vegan) diet free of foods commonly identified as triggers improves mood, using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-Revised (CESD-R), and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II).

The study is being conducted to assess the effect of BMS-986142 on the single-dose PK parameters of montelukast, flurbiprofen, omeprazole, midazolam, and digoxin, probe drugs for (cytochome P450) CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), respectively.

In this phase 1 study, the lymphatic transport will be examined using Near InfraRed Indocyanine Green fluorescence imaging (NIR-ICG) of the upper extremities in healthy individuals using a MultiSpectral Imaging System (MSImager).

This study included 76 newly diagnosed RA patients and 50 matched controls. Basal JAK2 mutation was assessed by PCR in blood samples, TNF-α and IL 6 were measured by ELISA in serum of patients and controls. All patients started therapy with conventional synthetic DMARDs (including methotrexate). Response assessment at 3rd month was evaluated by DAS28 and ACR response criteria. JAK2 mutation was correlated with different clinical and laboratory parameters of patients.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of certolizumab pegol in adults with active rheumatoid arthritis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a group-based exercise and educational program for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) on physical performance and disease-self-management.

In this study, a 10 mg tasocitinib (CP-690,550) tablet will be administered to healthy subjects on two separate dosing occasions. On one occasion the tasocitinib (CP-690,550) tablet will be administered in a fasting condition; On the other occasion the tasocitinib (CP-690,550) tablet will be administered in a fed condition following a standard breakfast meal. The amount of tasocitinib (CP-690,550) in the blood will be measured at various times over 24 hours following each dosing occasion and compared to evaluate for any differences.

Evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AIN457 when administered as a single dose (intravenous infusion) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis in combination with a stable dose of methotrexate. And to compare efficacy on the dose groups.

Osteoclastic bone resorption depends on both the capacity to generate osteoclasts (osteoclastogenesis) and on individual osteoclast activity. The investigators objective is to study the effect of anti-TNF therapy on the number of osteoclast precursors in the peripheral blood of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, on in vitro osteoclastogenesis and on osteoclast activity before and during the treatment of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis with Adalimumab.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a form of arthritis that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. Over time, joint deformity, joint destruction, and loss of function can occur. Current treatment aims to improve symptoms, but there is no cure for the disease. Pioglitazone is drug that is effective in treating people with diabetes. This study will determine whether pioglitazone can also be used to effectively treat people with RA.
