Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

That anti-TNF therapy and rituximab therapy are equally effective in treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis who meet the eligibility criteria for biologic therapy in the British Society for Rheumatology guidelines, and have not previously been exposed to biologic therapy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety, and immunogenicity of abatacept after subcutaneous and intravenous administration in Japanese participants with active rheumatoid arthritis and inadequate response to methotrexate.

To evaluate the potential of adalimumab to inhibit radiographic progression in joint destruction compared with placebo in adult Japanese subjects with recent onset of rheumatoid arthritis.

This study is designed to provide safety and efficacy data to support the development of CP-690,550 in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis on background of methotrexate.

The purpose of this 2 phased, open-label study is to compare the safety and efficacy of etanercept with conventional Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drug (DMARD) therapy in Latin American subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis over 128 weeks. Phase 1 is a randomized 24 week treatment period; Phase 2 is an optional open-label 104 week period that allows the investigator to choose continuation with the phase I treatment or the addition, discontinuation or titration of other DMARD therapy already being utilized for the study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TAK-715, twice daily (BID), in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis signs and symptoms in patients with a partial response to methotrexate.

The objective of this trial is to investigate the efficacy (American College of Rheumatology 20% : ACR20) superiority of two dose regiments of CDP870 versus placebo in combination with MTX in active RA patients who have an incomplete response to MTX. The pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity profile of CDP870 will also be investigated to assess the extrapolability of foreign data to the Japanese population.

This study will evaluate the effect of exercise on the number of swollen and tender joints associated with rheumatoid arthritis after a 12 week exercise program of treadmill walking and weightlifting.

This is an open-label program of Remicade in the treatment of patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite treatment with methotrexate (MTX) to determine the onset of efficacy of infliximab.

The study will compare the effects of prednisone vs placebo on synovial blood flow and overall DAS (disease activity score) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
