Genetic and Social Network Correlates of Rheumatoid Arthritis Outcomes in Hispanic Populations: A Prospective Study
Recruiting
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is more severe in Hispanic people. Genetics plays a role. But social issues may also lead to more severe RA in Hispanics. Some Hispanics may not seek help for early symptoms. Support from family and friends may persuade people to seek treatment earlier. Researchers want to learn more about how social factors affect RA in Hispanics. Objective: This natural history study will explore genetic and social factors related to RA in Hispanic families.

Natural History and Development of Spondyloarthritis
Recruiting
Background: - Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of bone and joint disorders that may cause back and joint pain and stiffness. In some cases, SpA can lead to abnormal bone growth affecting the joints and spine. Some patients have SpA without ever developing these growths, while others develop them after only a few years. Researchers are interested in studying people with SpA and their relatives to determine which people are more likely to develop more severe conditions. Objectives: - To ident... Read More

Natural History of Rheumatic Diseases in Minority Communities
Recruiting
This study will explore the causes of rheumatic diseases and why many of them affect certain minority communities more severely. Rheumatic diseases may cause joint pain, stiffness or swelling. Some can involve bones, muscles, tendons or ligaments. Some cause abnormalities of the immune system the body s defense against disease. Some rheumatic diseases are painful or deforming and some can be life threatening. Information obtained from this study will be used to learn about the disparities in rhe... Read More

Natural History, Genetics, and Pathophysiology of Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Adult-Onset Still's Disease, and Related Conditions
Recruiting
Background: Inflammatory conditions can cause symptoms like fevers, arthritis, and rash. Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is one of these conditions. So is adult-onset Still s disease (AOSD). Their causes are unknown. Researchers want to learn more about these conditions. This includes genetic changes and environmental factors. Objective: To study sJIA and AOSD in children and adults over time. Eligibility: People with known or suspected sJIA, AOSD, or similar inflammatory cond... Read More

Microfragmented Adipose Tissue Compared to Corticosteroid Injection for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of a single autologous, intra-articular injection of MFat versus corticosteroid injection for the treatment of pain and function associated with K/L grade 2/3 knee Osteoarthritis. Participants will receive an injection of MFat or a corticosteroid.

Novel PET Radioligands as Inflammatory Biomarkers in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Myositis
Recruiting
Background: Inflammation can play a role in diseases like heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis. PET scans can help detect inflammation. Two new drugs may create better PET images. Objective: To see if the drugs [11C]ER176 and [11C]MC1 can help image inflammation. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with rheumatoid arthritis or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Healthy volunteers enrolled in protocol 01-M-0254 or 17-M-0181 are also needed. Design: Healthy participants will be sc... Read More

Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Autoimmune Disorders and Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Cancer
Recruiting
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Comparing Platelet Rich Plasma and Corticosteroid for Military & Civilian Patients With Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis
Recruiting
Shoulder arthroplasty provides successful improvement in pain and function for the treatment of end stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder in the older patient population (Sanchez 2008, Sampson 2010, Kon 2012, Fitzpatrick 2017). However, the optimal non-operative treatment for shoulder OA in the young active duty and civilian populations has yet to be determined. Although corticosteroid injections (CSI) are a viable option with diagnostic and short-term therapeutic benefit in glenohumeral OA,... Read More
