Arthritis Clinical Trials in Charlotte, NC

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

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 (4 to 6 weeks) 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

This Phase 2b, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of IMVT-1402 in adult participants with active, difficult-to-treat, anti-citrullinated protein autoantibody (ACPA) positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of IMVT-1402 compared to placebo, as measured by the American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response. Read Less
