Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

Pain management is rated by patients with inflammatory arthritis as the highest priority in their disease treatment. Past research showed that music therapy is associated with reduced pain and depression. The purpose of this study is to better understand the effectiveness of music therapy for people with inflammatory arthritis. Participants will be randomly assigned to: 1) Music Therapy group facilitated by a music therapist, or 2) Music Listening group that listens to a relaxation CD (compact disc). Standardized tests will determine if participating in music therapy group helps reduce pain and depression, improve physical function and confidence levels in applying self-management strategies.

The purpose of this study is to determine if abatacept is effective in the treatment of early rheumatoid arthritis.

The study will assess the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of PF-06410293 and adalimumab in combination with methotrexate in subjects with moderately to severly active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate. In an additional optional portion of the study, during open label Treatment Period 3 (TP3), a subset of subjects used a Prefilled Pen (PFP) to administer up to 3 injections of their study treatment (PF-06410293) at home.

This study will consist of two parts: Part A will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of tirabrutinib in healthy participants. Part B will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and the effect of tirabrutinib on disease-specific clinical markers and outcomes in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

This study investigated the safety and tolerability of VAY736 administered as single ascending doses of intravenous infusion, subcutaneous injection and repeated subcutaneous injections in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

First-in-human, phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single center study evaluating single and multiple ascending intravenous doses of FR104 in healthy subjects.

The study objective of Period 1 (Day 1 to Week 24) is to compare the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib 30 mg once daily (QD) and 15 mg QD versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are on a stable dose of csDMARDs and had an inadequate response to or intolerance to at least 1 bDMARD. The study objective of Period 2 (Week 24 to Week 260) is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD in participants with RA who completed Period 1.

The mail goal of this study is to establish superiority in efficacy of Acellbia® applied in a dose of 600 mg (Day 1 and Day 15) in combination with methotrexate in patients with active RA seropositive previously untreated with biological therapy, compared to standard therapy with methotrexate.

This is a multicenter, Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active comparator (Cohort 1 only), parallel-group, dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GDC-0853 in participants with moderate to severe active RA and an inadequate response to previous methotrexate (MTX) therapy (Cohort 1) or MTX and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy who may have also had exposure to no more than one non-TNF inhibitor biologic (Cohort 2).

Although RA pathomechanisms remains incompletely understood, periodontitis and RA share pathogenic features : genetic and environmental influences, chronic inflammatory disease, immunoregulatory imbalance, bacterial factors, persistence of antigen/peptide and clinical factors (conjunctive and hard tissues destruction). Several hypothesis can be evocated : Gram negative bacterial systemic spreading, inflammatory transmitter substance systemic spreading (IL1, IL6, IL17, PGE2), systemic spreading of bacterial degradation products (LPS for example). Currently Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG) might be a susceptibility factor to RA because PG has an enzyme, the peptidylarginine deiminase leading to auto antibodies creation and RA increasing. As periodontitis, RA is chronic disease with a cyclic increase evolution, needing a complex pluridisciplinary treatment approach. Recent studies have reported an increased prevalence of RA patients with periodontal disease. Others studies show that periodontal treatment induces a significant decrease of the sedimentation rate and of the DAS28. Periodontitis is suspected to be an independent, aggravating factor in patients with RA (given the definition from NIH : an aggravating factor is something that makes a condition worse). So periodontal treatment cannot be considered as a RA treatment per se. But it is hypothesised that treating periodontitis in RA patients showing signs of periodontitis could result in improvement in RA disease activity. To date the role of periodontitis as an aggravating factor in these patients remains unclear, and only RCT designs can reasonably be used to test this causal hypothesis. There still remains some RA patients who have persistent symptoms and frequent exacerbations despite specialist care and continuous treatment, so results of treating aggravating factors are needed. As the majority of patients will benefit from a systematic evaluation and treatment of aggravating factors, the periodontal treatment strategy need to be tested. The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of periodontal treatment for rheumatoid arthritis patients. To assess the effectiveness of periodontal treatment to reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in patients suffering from both periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis. The hypothesis is that periodontal treatment reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis.
