Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

Study in participants with RA who have an inadequate response to methotrexate.

This study will assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ACZ885 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, as well as long-term efficacy, long-term preservation and/or improvement of joint structure and bone mineral density, and long term maintenance of health-related quality of life.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a significantly higher risk to develop heart attacks and other complications of their blood vessels. New therapies are needed to prevent this complication. The purpose of this study is to establish the role of the medication pioglitazone in improving the function of the blood vessels and heart and decreasing the risk of future atherosclerosis development in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. As a secondary aim-point, we will evaluate the efficacy of pioglitazone in improving rheumatoid arthritis disease activity and markers of inflammation.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a weekly subcutaneous dose of abatacept yields clinical efficacy comparable to that of monthly intravenous doses of abatacept in participants with rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to current methotrexate therapy.

To determine the efficacy and safety of the combination of leflunomide and methotrexate for treating active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in an open noncomparative multicenter trial.

The purpose of this study is to confirm that AZD9056 is effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis with regard to signs and symptoms and to determine what dose is favourable over a 6-month treatment period. Patients will receive background treatment with either Methotrexate or Sulphasalazine

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (Syk) inhibitor, R935788 (R788), at a dose of 100 mg, orally, twice-a-day, and/or a dose of of 150 mg, orally, once-a-day is effective in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthrits in patients who have had an inadequate clinical response to methotrexate.

This 2-arm study assessed the safety and efficacy of tocilizumab versus placebo, both in combination with disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), in regard to reduction in signs and symptoms, in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis with an inadequate response to DMARDs. Patients were randomized in a ratio of 2:1 to receive either tocilizumab 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) or placebo IV every 4 weeks. All patients also received stable antirheumatic therapy, including permitted DMARDs. The anticipated time on study treatment was 3-12 months and the target sample size was 500+ individuals.

The hypothesis of this study is that the p38 inhibitor (PH-797804) will be safe and well tolerated in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis who are taking methotrexate and will not effect the blood levels of methotrexate.

This trial will test the hypothesis that the administration of CF101, a novel anti-inflammatory agent, to patients with rheumatoid arthritis and high A3AR expression at baseline will relieve signs and symptoms of the disease.
