Arthritis Paid Clinical Trials in New York

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common type of arthritis that affects children. The term "idiopathic" means "of unknown origin". It is a chronic (long-lasting) disease that causes swelling, warmth, and pain of one or more small joints. Systemic JIA ia a rare and serious form of JIA. Systemic" means it may affect not only the joints but other parts of the body, including the liver, lungs and heart. sJIA is more severe and can be more challenging to diagnose and treat than other types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is a lifelong disease for many patients and can continue into adulthood. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating pediatric and adolescent participants aged 1 to \< 18 with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and will include a tocilizumab treatment arm for reference. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of sJIA. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. In cohort 1, participants will receive upadacitinib or tocilizumab reference. In cohort 2, participants will receive upadacitinib. Approximately 90 participants with sJIA will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites worldwide. Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily or oral solution twice daily or tocilizumab subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion as per local label for 52 weeks and followed for approximately 30 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits/calls during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires. Read Less

The main objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of inebilizumab in adult participants with active and refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with nephritis (Subprotocol A) and to assess the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) blinatumomab in adult participants with active and refractory SLE with nephritis (Subprotocol B) and in adult participants with active refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (Subprotocol C).

The purpose of the chronic pain master protocol is to compare independent pain interventions and establish an overarching structure for the disease-state addenda (DSA) and intervention-specific appendices (ISAs). The ISAs may start independently of other ISAs as interventions become available for clinical testing. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a single knee injection of different doses (Dose A and Dose B) of an investigation product PCRX-201, following steroid pretreatment, is safe and tolerable in male of female patients 45 to 80 years old with osteoarthritis of the knee. It will also learn how the body reacts to the PCRX-201 injection and how effective the treatment is. Researchers will compare Dose A and Dose B of PCRX-201 versus placebo from Week 1 through Week 52 to assess adverse events. Researchers will also explore how PCRX-201 may impact knee pain and joint function over time. Participants will be asked to * Visit the clinic for pretreatment and drug administration * Visit the clinic for checkups and tests: 1. Screening through Week 52: intially weekly, bi-weekly, later monthly 2. Week 53 through Week 260 (Year 5): 8 visits throughout the period Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of ustekinumab and guselkumab in active juvenile psoriatic arthritis (jPsA). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety data of subcutaneous (SC) ustekinumab Read Less

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of bimekizumab versus risankizumab after 16 weeks of treatment in study participants with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adding tirzepatide to ixekizumab therapy in standard clinical practice in participants with moderate-to-severe PsA and obesity or overweight with at least 1 weight-related comorbidity. The study will last up to 12 months. Read Less

Differentiating between septic arthritis and other causes of joint inflammation in pediatric patients is challenging and of the utmost importance because septic arthritis requires surgical debridement as part of the treatment regimen. The current gold standard to diagnose septic arthritis in children is a positive synovial fluid culture; however, joint cultures may take several days to return. If a bacterial infection is present, it requires immediate surgical intervention in order to prevent lasting articular cartilage damage. Frequently surgeons must decide whether to surgically debride a joint before culture results are available. There is no single lab test or clinical feature that reliably indicates bacterial infection over other causes of joint inflammation. The alpha-defensin assay has shown high sensitivity and specificity for joint infection in other studies.The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of several synovial biomarkers for diagnosing pediatric septic arthritis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the drug levels, efficacy, and safety of Deucravacitinib (BMS-986165) in pediatric participants with juvenile psoriatic arthritis. Read Less

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks healthy joint tissue; causing pain, swelling, and stiffness of the joints. This disease effects lots of people in the US and can lead to major joint damage if not properly treated. In rural areas like northern NY, these are underserved areas for RA patients, thus many patients struggle to get the appropriate care. This model is testing whether primary care providers (PCP) can safely and effectively provide stable RA patients with the proper treatment rather than send them to a specialist. PCPs were trained through classes, case reviews, and a final exam. Patients will be randomly assigned to either see a trained PCP or their normal rheumatologist at the rheumatology clinic. This study will examine how patients are doing over a year using medical exams and patient feedback. If this model proves to be successful, it will make RA treatment easier and more affordable for patients. Read Less

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints and skin in people who have psoriasis (PsO). The main aim of the study is to know how well zasocitinib (TAK-279) works in participants with active PsA who have not previously been treated with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The participants will be treated with either zasocitinib, active comparator, or placebo. Participants will be in the study for up to 60 weeks. Read Less
