Arthritis Clinical Trials in Charlotte, NC

This is a parallel group, Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, 5-arm, international, multicenter, 12-week proof of concept, dose finding study. It is designed to assess efficacy and safety of treatment with SAR441566 for 12 weeks. It will be conducted in male and female adult participants with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) not adequately controlled on methotrexate (MTX) and biologic/targeted synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) naive. Study treatment includes investigational medicinal product (IMP: SAR441566 or placebo) added-on to a background therapy of MTX. Study details include a run-in period (6 weeks ± 3 days) before randomization to determine eligibility, a treatment period (12 weeks ± 3 days) and a post-treatment period (safety follow-up) (2 weeks ± 3 days). The total number of scheduled study visits will be 8. Read Less

The primary research purpose is to determine if the use of a drug therapy intervention (each study participant will be randomly assigned to receive one of 3 study medications which will be blinded from everyone, including the study participants, and all research staff (except the principal investigator), combined with a series of 3 injections of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) into an osteoarthritic knee joint, leads to reductions in knee pain, and improvements in physical function. Improvements will be assessed by serially evaluating pain scores and functionality using standardized and validated questionaires which will be completed by the study participant at each clinic office visit. In addition, blood tests will be drawn at each visit to evalute any changes in blood compostion. If the participant meets the study inclusion and exclusion criteria and agrees to attend 7 follow up office visits, they will be eligble to enroll in the study. If they wish to volunarily enroll in the study, it will be explained in detail, afterwhich all questions and any concerns will be answered. Each office visit will take between 30-45 minutes and will take place over a 12-month study period comittment. Read Less

This study is a pivotal study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single injection of autologous adipose-derived SVF produced using the GID SVF-2 device system for treatment of pain with concomitant improvement in function associated with osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Read Less

Knee injuries, especially those to the ACL, are common among physically active people. These injuries are frequently treated with surgical reconstruction (ACL reconstruction; ACLR). While ACLR restores stability it does not protect against future injury, long-term pain, disability, and arthritis associated with these injuries. Our study is going to examine new ways to provide feedback about the way people move to determine if these are better at modifying movement patterns that are known risk factors of posttraumatic osteoarthritis development than current standard treatments. If you participate, you will be asked to undergo a movement analysis in a research laboratory while you perform tasks such as walking and hopping. After this initial assessment, you will be randomly allocated to one of 2 treatment groups. Each treatment group will perform 4 weeks (3x/week) of exercises to change the way people walk. Participants will then report for follow-up movement analysis testing 1- and 4-weeks after completing the intervention. Read Less
