										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study involves adults with <b>Rheumatoid arthritis</b> who are already receiving a biologic medication that blocks tumor necrosis factor (a type of <b>TNF inhibitor</b>). The usual treatment also includes a pill called <b>methotrexate</b> or another drug called <b>leflunomide</b>. The purpose of the study is to determine whether stopping the pill while continuing the biologic is not worse than keeping both treatments together.</p>
<p>Participants are randomly assigned to either continue both the pill and the biologic or to stop the pill after a short period. If disease activity rises (a flare), the stopped medication can be started again. All participants keep receiving their regular biologic injections. The study follows each person for up to two years, with clinic visits scheduled at about 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.</p>
<p>At each visit, doctors will check how active the disease is using a score called <b>DAS28-CRP</b>, ask about pain, fatigue and daily function, and record any side effects. Patients will also fill out questionnaires about quality of life and work ability. Blood samples may be taken to measure drug levels. The study aims to compare overall disease control, safety and cost between the two approaches.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is studying <b>rheumatoid arthritis</b>, a long-lasting disease that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. The study is testing <b>ELV001</b>, an oral capsule, as an add-on treatment together with usual care in people whose disease is still active despite treatment with <b>methotrexate</b> and <b>tumor necrosis factor inhibition</b>, a type of treatment that blocks a body substance involved in inflammation. The purpose of the study is to see whether ELV001 is safe and helpful for active rheumatoid arthritis.</p>
<p>People in the study are assigned by chance to receive different doses of ELV001 or <b>placebo</b> tablets. The study is <b>double-blind</b>, which means that the treatment given is not known to the participants or the study team during the study. Treatment is taken for a period of time, and the health of the joints and overall condition are checked during the study visits. Safety is also watched closely, including possible side effects and changes in heart tracing, blood tests, and vital signs.</p>
<p>The study is looking at whether ELV001 can improve signs and symptoms of active rheumatoid arthritis when added to standard treatment. It also compares different dose levels to see how they work and how well they are tolerated.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study involves patients with severe immune-mediated inflammatory diseases that have not responded well to previous treatments. The specific conditions being studied are <b>primary Sjögren&#8217;s disease</b>, <b>idiopathic inflammatory myopathy</b>, <b>systemic sclerosis</b>, and <b>rheumatoid arthritis</b>. The treatment being investigated is <b>cizutamig</b>, which is a bispecific antibody that works by engaging certain immune cells in the body. This medication is given as an <b>intravenous infusion</b>, meaning it is delivered directly into a vein.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of cizutamig in patients with these severe inflammatory conditions and to examine how well the treatment works in controlling disease activity. During the study, patients will receive the medication and will be closely monitored for any side effects, particularly <b>Cytokine Release Syndrome</b> and other treatment-related reactions. The study will track various measures of disease activity specific to each condition, such as skin thickness scores for systemic sclerosis, muscle strength measurements for inflammatory myopathy, disease activity scores for rheumatoid arthritis, and symptom scores for Sjögren&#8217;s disease. For patients who have lung involvement, lung function tests will also be performed.</p>
<p>The study will last approximately 52 weeks, with regular assessments at different time points to evaluate both the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Patients will have measurements taken at weeks 16, 24, and 52 to see how their disease responds to cizutamig. The study will also look at whether patients can reduce or stop other medications they may be taking, how often their disease flares up, and how their overall quality of life and daily functioning change during the treatment period.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is studying two conditions called <b>Rheumatoid Arthritis</b> and <b>Psoriatic Arthritis</b>. These are long-term conditions where the body&#8217;s immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. The treatment being tested involves combining two types of biologic drugs that work in different ways to control inflammation. Patients in the study will continue taking their current <b>Tumour Necrosis Factor inhibitor</b> medication, which is a type of biologic drug that blocks a protein in the body that causes inflammation. To this existing treatment, a second medication called <b>tocilizumab</b> will be added. Tocilizumab is given as an injection under the skin using a pre-filled pen and works by blocking a different protein called interleukin-6 that also contributes to inflammation and joint damage.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining these two different biologic medications is safe and whether it works better at controlling disease activity than current treatments alone. The study will specifically measure how many patients achieve remission, which means their disease becomes much less active or shows minimal signs of inflammation. The researchers want to test whether blocking two different inflammation pathways at the same time can help more patients reach this state of very low disease activity.</p>
<p>During the study, patients will receive the combination treatment for a period of time while their disease activity is regularly monitored. The main assessment will take place at week 24 to see how well the combination therapy has worked. Throughout the study, doctors will also carefully watch for any side effects or safety concerns that might occur when using these two medications together. The study will collect information about how well patients tolerate the combination treatment and whether their symptoms improve according to standard measurement tools used to assess arthritis activity.</p>

The medicine comes in the form of a hard capsule that can be taken by mouth. The study will look at how the body absorbs the medicine when the capsule contents are sprinkled on different foods compared to when the capsule is swallowed whole.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to measure how much of the medicine gets into the bloodstream when the capsule is opened and sprinkled on applesauce, strawberry jam, or yoghurt compared to swallowing the capsule whole without food, and also to see how eating food affects the amount of medicine that gets into the bloodstream when the capsule is swallowed whole. This information is important for understanding different ways the medicine can be taken, especially for people who may have difficulty swallowing capsules. The study will involve healthy adult participants who will receive a 30 mg dose of the medicine in different ways during the study.</p>
<p>Participants will take part in a study where they will receive the medicine in different forms on different occasions, allowing researchers to compare how the body processes the medicine under various conditions. Blood samples will be collected to measure the amount of medicine in the bloodstream over time. The study will monitor participants for any unwanted effects that may occur during the treatment period.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study is looking at three types of <b>rheumatologic disease</b> that cause joint pain and swelling. The first type is <b>rheumatoid arthritis</b>, which is a condition where the body&#8217;s immune system attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. The second type is <b>axial spondyloarthritis</b>, which is a disease that mainly affects the spine and can cause back pain and stiffness. The third type is <b>psoriatic arthritis</b>, which is a form of arthritis that affects some people who have psoriasis, a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches. All three conditions being studied are described as moderately to severely active, meaning they are causing significant symptoms. The study will test a medication called <b>SPY072</b>, which is given as an injection under the skin. Some participants will receive SPY072 while others will receive placebo.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to see if SPY072 can reduce disease activity in people with these three types of rheumatologic disease and to check if the medication is safe. The study will measure how well SPY072 works by looking at different aspects of disease activity. For rheumatoid arthritis, the study will check changes in disease activity at week 12. For axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis, measurements will be taken at week 16. The study will also look at how many participants show improvement in their symptoms and will measure the levels of the medication in the blood.</p>
<p>During the study, participants will receive treatment for up to 40 weeks. The study will monitor participants for any unwanted effects or problems that might occur with the medication. The study will also check if the body develops any immune response to the medication. Different measurements will be used depending on which type of rheumatologic disease the participant has, but all are designed to see if the medication helps reduce joint pain, swelling, and other symptoms of the disease.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study involves people with <b>Rheumatoid Arthritis</b>, which is a long-term condition where the body&#8217;s immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. The study will test a medication called <b>tulisokibart</b>, which is also known by its code name <b>MK-7240</b>. Some participants will receive tulisokibart while others will receive placebo. All participants will continue taking their current <b>methotrexate</b> treatment during the study. The purpose of the study is to find out how well tulisokibart works compared to placebo in improving the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis after 12 weeks of treatment.</p>
<p>The medication tulisokibart will be given as an injection under the skin using a pre-filled device that automatically delivers the medicine. The study will last for about 128 weeks in total. During this time, doctors will check how well the treatment is working by looking at improvements in joint pain, swelling, and other symptoms of the disease. They will also monitor participants for any unwanted effects that may occur during treatment.</p>
<p>The study will measure whether participants achieve certain levels of improvement in their condition, including 20%, 50%, or 70% improvement according to standard measures used for rheumatoid arthritis. Doctors will also assess whether participants reach a state of low disease activity and whether their ability to perform daily activities improves. Throughout the study, any side effects or problems that participants experience will be carefully recorded and reviewed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial focuses on understanding immune system responses in patients with <b>autoimmune diseases</b>, specifically <b>Systemic Sclerosis</b>, <b>Systemic Lupus Erythematosus</b>, and <b>Rheumatoid Arthritis</b>. These conditions occur when the body&#8217;s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. The study will use a <b>Tetanus Toxoid</b> vaccine, which is commonly used to protect against tetanus infection, to examine how the immune system responds in people with these conditions compared to healthy individuals.</p>
<p>The study aims to examine how specific immune cells called B cells respond to the tetanus vaccine in people with autoimmune diseases. Participants will receive a single booster shot of the tetanus vaccine as a <b>suspension for injection</b> into the muscle. The amount given will be 0.5 milliliters, which is a standard vaccine dose.</p>
<p>During the study, researchers will collect blood samples at different times to observe how the immune system responds to the vaccine. They will look at special immune cells and proteins in the blood before and after vaccination. This will help them understand the differences between how the immune system works in people with autoimmune diseases compared to people without these conditions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called <i>Rituximab</i> in patients with <i>Rheumatoid Arthritis</i>, a condition that causes pain and swelling in the joints. The study aims to compare a lower dose of 200 mg of Rituximab given every six months to the standard higher dose of 1 gram, to see if the lower dose is just as effective in managing the disease.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive Rituximab through an infusion, which means the medication is delivered directly into the bloodstream. The study will last for about a year, during which the participants&#8217; disease activity will be monitored at the start, at six months, and at the end of the study. This will help determine if the lower dose of Rituximab can maintain the same level of disease control as the higher dose.</p>
<p>The goal of the study is to find out if using a smaller amount of Rituximab can still effectively manage Rheumatoid Arthritis without increasing the disease activity. This could potentially lead to fewer side effects and a more convenient treatment option for patients. The study will also track any changes in the participants&#8217; health and any side effects they may experience during the trial period.</p>

These assessments will help determine the lowest effective dose needed to maintain remission. The study aims to find the minimal necessary concentration of adalimumab in the blood to keep the disease in check.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, the presence of antibodies against adalimumab will be monitored, as these can affect how well the medication works. Participants will also be asked to report any infections they experience, as this information is important for understanding the safety of the treatment. The study is expected to continue until mid-2026, with recruitment starting in late 2024.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called <i>tofacitinib</i>, which is used to treat two types of arthritis: <i>rheumatoid arthritis</i> and <i>psoriatic arthritis</i>. These are conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain and swelling. The medication being tested is a prolonged-release tablet known as <i>XELJANZ 11 mg</i>, which means it releases the active ingredient slowly over time.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of taking <i>tofacitinib</i> either in the morning or in the evening. Participants will be randomly assigned to take the medication at one of these times. The study will last for about three months, during which participants will report on their disease activity, which refers to how active their arthritis symptoms are. The study will also look at other factors like morning stiffness, general health, fatigue, pain, sleep, and quality of life.</p>
<p>Researchers will also explore whether changes in certain genes related to the body&#8217;s internal clock, known as circadian clock genes, and the composition of bacteria in the gut, called microbiota, are linked to how well the treatment works. This study aims to provide insights into the best time of day to take <i>tofacitinib</i> for managing symptoms of <i>rheumatoid arthritis</i> and <i>psoriatic arthritis</i>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial focuses on studying the effectiveness of different treatments for <b>rheumatoid arthritis</b>, a condition that causes pain and swelling in the joints. The study will compare a personalized treatment approach with usual care. The personalized approach considers the presence of specific proteins in the blood, known as <b>autoantibodies</b>, and how quickly patients respond to certain medications like <b>glucocorticoids</b> and <b>JAK inhibitors</b>. The goal is to determine if the personalized approach can help patients achieve low disease activity more quickly without using more expensive medications.</p>
<p>The trial will involve several medications, including <b>Methotrexate</b>, <b>Simponi</b> (containing golimumab), <b>Hydroxychloroquine sulfate</b>, <b>Cimzia</b> (containing certolizumab pegol), <b>Depo-Medrol</b> (containing methylprednisolone acetate), <b>Leflunomide</b>, <b>Enbrel</b> (containing etanercept), <b>Humira</b> (containing adalimumab), <b>Sulfasalazine</b>, <b>Jyseleca</b> (containing filgotinib), <b>Kenacort-A</b> (containing triamcinolone acetonide), and <b>Remicade</b> (containing infliximab). Some patients may receive a placebo, which is a substance with no active medication, to compare the effects of the actual treatments.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to either the personalized treatment group or the usual care group. The study will last for several months, during which patients will receive their assigned treatments and have their disease activity monitored regularly. The effectiveness of the treatments will be assessed by measuring how well the disease is controlled and the overall cost-effectiveness of the treatment approaches. The study aims to provide insights into whether a personalized approach can improve outcomes for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying <i>Rheumatoid Arthritis</i>, a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain and swelling. The study will compare two treatments: <i>Rituximab</i>, a medication that helps reduce inflammation by targeting specific cells in the immune system, and <i>KYV-101</i>, an experimental therapy known as anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy. This therapy involves modifying a patient&#8217;s own immune cells to better target and destroy the cells causing the disease.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to assess the safety of these treatments in patients with active and treatment-resistant <i>Rheumatoid Arthritis</i>. Participants will receive either <i>Rituximab</i> or <i>KYV-101</i> and will be monitored over time to see how their condition responds to the treatment. The study will also look at changes in specific antibodies in the blood, which are proteins that the immune system uses to fight off perceived threats.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will have regular check-ups to monitor their health and the effects of the treatment. The study aims to provide valuable information on how these treatments can help manage <i>Rheumatoid Arthritis</i> and improve the quality of life for those affected by this condition. Participants will be observed for any side effects and changes in their symptoms to ensure the treatments are safe and effective.</p>
