Arthritis Clinical Trials in Portland, OR

Prospective evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the MISHA Knee System. The study will collect data on the procedural and long-term adverse events, WOMAC pain and function scores, KSS satisfaction, subsequent surgical interventions, BMI levels, range of motion, UCLA activity level of the subjects, and perform radiographic/x-ray evaluations at clinical visits through 5 years post-procedure. The primary analysis of this study is freedom from device- and procedure-related SSIs at five (5) years post-implantation. This study will also assess device performance in subjects with intact and retained devices and subjects with devices removed prior to study termination and freedom from conversion to arthroplasty through 5 years. Study subjects will be followed over a five-year post-implant period. Read Less

Shared decision making is the first overarching principle for the treat to target guidelines for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and has been proposed as a potential mechanism to reduce health disparities, however there is little evidence to inform effective ways to implement this practice in the care of Veterans with RA. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component shared decision making intervention on RA disease activity, adherence to RA medications and patient knowledge of RA. The proposed research will contribute to fundamental knowledge about how to effectively foster shared decision making across varied VA rheumatology clinical settings to improve patient disease outcomes and experience; and support clinicians to engage patients in meaningful ways with the ultimate goal to improve health, reduce disability, and eliminate disparities.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effects of stimulating the splenic neurovascular bundle (NVB) with the Galvani System, which consists of a lead, implantable pulse generator, external components and accessories. The study will consist of 4 study periods, including a Randomized Control Trial period (Period 1), an Open Label period (Period 2), a Treat-to-target period (Period 3), and a Long-term Follow-up period (Period 4). Participants eligible for implant will have active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have an inadequate response or intolerance to at least two biologic Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) or JAK inhibitors (JAKis). A sufficient number of participants will be enrolled so that approximately 28 participants will undergo device implantation. Read Less
