Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

This observational, multi-center study will evaluate the treatment regimen, treatment responses and safety of tocilizumab therapy in a routine clinical practice in participants with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Data will be collected for 6 months with a maximum study duration of 18 months.

This is an open-label positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( PET/CT) study to investigate the diagnostic performance and evaluation efficacy of 68Ga-BNOTA-PRGD2 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. A single dose of nearly 111 MBq 68Ga-BNOTA-PRGD2 (≤ 40 µg BNOTA-PRGD2) will be intravenously injected into patients with RA. Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess the PET/CT images. Whole body 18F-FDG PET/CT will be performed for comparison.

The objective of this Surveillance is to verify the following subject matters concerning Tofacitinib (Xeljanz) under general practice. 1) Occurrence of adverse reactions, factors that may potentially affect safety and efficacy 2） Long-term safety (particularly, malignant tumors and serious infections) and efficacy Occurrences of malignant tumors and serious infections will be compared with a control group.

This non-interventional study will observe the usage and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have recently begun treatment. The treatment regimen will be directed by the treating physician according to clinical practice. Patients are expected to be observed for approximately 6 months after beginning treatment.

In this study we will compare two electronic goniometric gloves to see if they can be used in research on joint movement in arthritis. One of the gloves we will use is the commercially available '5DT Ultra 14 glove', the other is a glove that we have specially designed and developed for use in people with arthritis. Both gloves are 'high-end' gloves with sensors for all of the finger and thumb joints. We aim to find out if the gloves are accurate and if they can be worn and used without too much discomfort by people with arthritis.

Abatacept Registry in Taiwan

The purpose of this post-marketing surveillance is to investigate and confirm the type and incidence of newly identified adverse events and any other factors affecting safety and efficacy of Orencia® so that the regulatory authority can manage the marketing approval properly.

The purpose of this study is to know the level of expression and activation state of different transcription factors of the STAT family (STAT1, STAT3, STAT5A, STAT5B, STAT6) in the hematopoietic cells from tocilizumab treated patients.

It is known from the COMET-trial that patients who start Enbrel treatment early have a great chance of reaching clinical remission and radiographic nonprogression. It is still unclear, however, how many patients with early arthritis achieve remission and radiographic nonprogression under the conditions of routine rheumatologic care and the local recommendations of Enbrel treatment (pre-treatment of at least 2 DMARDs, one of them MTX). Therefore, no robust x-ray data are available to show/demonstrate the average extent of x-ray damage in routine patients on Enbrel outside clinical studies. if the outstanding effect on structural damage of Enbrel can be reproduced in routine practice. that the 'Silent Progressor' is an issue relevant not only in clinical trials, but also for day-to-day decision making. the optimal onset of Enbrel treatment in the course of the disease to prevent radiographic damage

This study was conducted to examine the safety profile and the effectiveness in daily clinical practice of adalimumab in rheumatoid arthritis participants showing rapid progression of structural damage of the joints, who had no prior history of treatment with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs or biological agents.
