RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

This study followed 65 adults with ankle arthritis (from wear-and-tear, injury, or conditions like rheumatoid arthritis) who received the Cadence Total Ankle System implant. Researchers tracked how long the implant lasted without needing removal or revision, checking at 2, 5, and…

This study tested an experimental drug called LY3541860 in 35 adults with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis who had not improved enough on other treatments. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce joint swelling and pain. However, the trial was terminated early, so the…

This study looked at a shoulder implant used to treat pain and joint problems from conditions like arthritis, fractures, and rotator cuff tears. It involved 67 adults who received the implant and tracked how long it lasted and any side effects over 10 years. The goal was to confi…

This phase 2 study tested an experimental oral drug called BGB-45035 in 49 adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who had not responded well to standard treatments. Participants received either the drug or a placebo to see if it could reduce joint pain and swelling. …

This study tested an experimental drug called GS-0272 in adults with rheumatoid arthritis to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. The trial was stopped early, so results are limited. About 55 people were planned to take part, receiving either the drug or a placebo.

This study tested a combination pill called IHL-675A, which contains cannabidiol (CBD) and hydroxychloroquine, in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The goal was to see if it safely reduces pain and improves daily function. The trial planned to enroll 128 volunteers but was termin…

This early-stage trial tested whether adding an experimental drug called VIB4920 to standard TNF-inhibitor therapy could improve disease control in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Only 2 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated, so no meaningful conclusions ca…

This study tested peresolimab, an experimental drug, in 491 adults with moderately-to-severely active rheumatoid arthritis who had not responded well to other treatments. The goal was to see if peresolimab could reduce joint pain and swelling better than a placebo. However, the s…

This study looked at whether a smart injection device (Smartclic) helps rheumatoid arthritis patients take their etanercept medication as prescribed. Researchers tracked 60 patients in Colombia for 40 weeks, measuring how often they used the device and how their symptoms changed.…

This study looked at how well the P.F.C. Sigma knee replacement implant works in people with severe knee arthritis. Researchers planned to follow 723 patients for at least 5 years after surgery, tracking pain, function, and any complications. However, the study was terminated ear…

This study tested whether using a smartphone app and a hand grip device could help people with rheumatoid arthritis manage their condition with fewer in-person doctor visits. About 94 adults with active rheumatoid arthritis were randomly assigned to use the app or continue standa…

This early-phase study tested a new radioactive imaging drug called 11C-MC1 to see if it can help detect inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, as well as in healthy volunteers. Participants received PET/CT scans after an injection o…

This study tested a program where people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were paired with a trained peer supporter for up to 6 months. The goal was to see if sharing experiences and support could improve daily function, medication adherence, and symptoms like pain and fatigue. The…

This study looked at how two common pain relievers—celecoxib (a Coxib) and naproxen (an NSAID)—affect blood clotting in people with rheumatoid arthritis who also have heart disease or are at high risk for it. All participants took low-dose aspirin daily. The goal was to see if on…

This study looked at how immunosuppressive medications used for rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis affect the body's ability to fight COVID-19. Researchers measured viral load and immune responses in 150 patients and their infected family members. The goal was to understa…

This study looked at a specific hip implant shell (the Pinnacle Acetabular Shell) used in total hip replacement. Researchers wanted to see how much the implant moved (migrated) over two years using a special X-ray technique called RSA. They also tracked how patients felt and func…

This study aimed to understand how age influences serious health issues like infections, cancer, heart disease, and bone fractures in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers compared patients over 65 with younger adults (18-50) who had the same disease. The study was stoppe…

This study looked at how JAK-STAT inhibitors, a type of drug used for rheumatoid arthritis, affect certain immune cells called regulatory B cells. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 27 patients to see if these drugs could boost anti-inflammatory functions. The study was term…

This pilot study analyzed special immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the joint fluid of 19 people with rheumatoid arthritis during a flare-up. Researchers compared these cells to Tregs in the blood to understand how they behave in inflamed joints. No treatment was …

This study looked at whether a condition called intermetatarsal bursitis (inflammation between foot bones) causes pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers used MRI and ultrasound to examine the feet of 3 participants and tested steroid injections. The study was termi…
