Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Apremilast is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, specifically in improving signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (tender and swollen joints, pain, physical function and structure) in treated patients who have had an inadequate response to Methotrexate.

This randomized, open-label, parallel-group study will assess the effect on disease remission of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in combination with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) versus current best practice non-biologic DMARD therapy in patients with moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients who are randomly assigned to the RoActemra/Actemra treatment group will receive 8 mg/kg RoActemra/Actemra intravenously every 4 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months.

This is a study of the overall safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MK-8808 versus rituximab (MabThera® and Rituxan®) in participants with moderate to severe RA with an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of fostamatinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

This randomized, parallel-group study will assess the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) versus adalimumab, both in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients, already treated with MTX at stable doses, will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks or adalimumab 40 mg subcutaneous (SC) every 2 weeks. All patients will receive methotrexate (10-25 mg weekly) and folate (at least 5 mg weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.

Primary Objective: - To demonstrate that sarilumab (SAR153191/REGN88) on top of methotrexate (MTX) was superior in efficacy to placebo for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in participants with active RA who had failed up to 2 tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonists. Secondary Objectives: To assess the safety of sarilumab; To document the pharmacokinetic profile of sarilumab.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab, compared with placebo, in combination with methotrexate in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate. Patients will be randomized to receive placebo, 200mg of intravenous ocrelizumab or 500mg of i.v. ocrelizumab on Days 1 and 15. A repeat course of i.v. treatment will be administered at Weeks 24 and 26. All patients will receive 7.5mg - 25mg/week concomitant methotrexate at a stable dose. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years. Target sample size is 1000.

This single arm study will investigate the pattern of B cell depletion in synovial tissue and peripheral blood of patients with active RA, after MabThera (1000mg iv x 2 on days 1 and 15) + methotrexate (10-25mg/week po) treatment. The clinical efficacy and pharmacokinetic profile of MabThera after treatment and retreatment will also be investigated. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

This Phase 2b study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BG9924 given subcutaneously (SC) versus placebo in participants with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have previously had an inadequate response to treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of various repeat-dose regimens of KB003 in subjects with active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate prior treatment outcome from biologic therapy.
