An Observational, Prospective Cohort Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of RemsimaTM in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

This study is designed to establish the prevalence of anal squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASIL) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and healthy controls.

The purpose of this study is to summarize the safety and tolerability of abatacept during 6 months of combined treatment with one or more of the background non-biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) approved for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in subjects with active RA. Secondary objectives assessed the clinical efficacy of combination treatment, including disease activity, physical function, and quality of life outcomes.

Observe in real life adherence therapy and time to switch in ankylosing spondylitis patients with predominant assial involvement with 4 anti-TNF.

Background The risk for hospitalized infection (i.e. infection leading to hospitalization) in patients with inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) treated with biological drugs is known to be increased compared to the background population. In daily clinical practice, there is a need for a simple way to assess the absolute risk for hospitalized infection in individual patients based on easily available information such as age, diagnosis, functional status, comorbidities and medication. This risk estimate will be useful in clinical decision making e.g. when advising patients on whether or not to initiate biologic therapy or when advising patients on influenza or pneumococcal vaccination.||Objectives The objectives are 1) to assess the risk for hospitalized infection (infection leading to hospitalization) in patients with inflammatory arthritis during 12 months of follow-up after initiating treatment with their first biological drug (bDMARD) with the risk in the general population, and 2) to develop a simple, clinically useful algorithm that allows prediction of the risk of hospitalized infection in individual patients.||Methods Observational cohort study based on existing data in: The Danish Rheumatology Register (DANBIO), The Danish National Patient Register, The Danish National Prescription Register and The Danish Register of Causes of Death. All patients registered in DANBIO with RA, PsA or axSpA who initiated treatment with their first biological drug between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2016 will be identified. Baseline predictors and outcomes (hospitalized infection or death) during 12 months of follow-up are obtained. Logistic regression analysis and 10-fold cross-validation will be used to develop and internally validate the prediction model.

This study is health economic analysis of medicinal treatment options for moderate-to-severe psoriasis vulgaris from the societal perspective. Efficacy data and other clinical outcomes will be derived from an up-to-date meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Direct and indirect costs will be extracted from various different sources, including summary of product characteristics (SPCs) and the German S3 guideline on psoriasis care, health care utilization data and official statistics.||The study aims to investigate the comparative cost-effectiveness of biologic and conventional systemic treatments currently (as of June 1st, 2012) approved for moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis in Germany. Effectiveness will be measured by means of the pooled (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) PASI-75 response rates as reported in RCTs Direct cost as well as indirect cost will be considered.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of ruxolitinib against best available therapy in participants with steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (SR cGvHD).

Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), have been shown to be at increased risk of developing certain infections, such as shingles from the Herpes Zoster (HZ) virus, as a result of their underlying disease. Patients with UC are also often treated with immunosuppressants, and research has shown that IBD patients on immunosuppressants have an impaired immune response to vaccination in comparison to immunocompetent controls. Because UC patients are often treated with immunosuppressants, the live HZ vaccine was not recommended in these patients. Shingrix, however, is a new inactivated vaccine recently approved by the FDA for prevention of HZ in adults age 50 and older, and Shingrix should be safe to administer in IBD patients because it does not contain live HZ virus. Data on efficacy of the Shingrix vaccine also appears promising in immunocompromised patients.||Tofacitinib citrate (Xeljanz), an immunosuppressant that works by inhibiting the Janus kinase pathway, is currently approved for treatment of certain inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. The drug is currently awaiting FDA-approval for use in moderate-to-severe UC but has been used off-label in various settings. Notably, tofacitinib was associated with an increased risk of HZ in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.||The research hypothesis is that UC patients on tofacitinib will mount an adequate response and that the response will be slightly diminished compared to non-immunosuppressed IBD patients, comparable to those on anti-tumor necrosis alpha (anti-TNF) monotherapy, and superior to those on anti-TNF therapy in combination with a thiopurine. Strong cell mediated immunity is shown to prevent reactivation of HZ, and demonstrating a robust immune response to Shingrix may serve as a surrogate for a reduced risk of developing shingles and might alleviate prescribers' concerns regarding the use of tofacitinib. The results will also serve as pilot data to inform larger future studies evaluating the actual risk of developing shingles in patients on tofacitinib who receive Shingrix.

This is a study of visual outcomes in retinal disease that seeks to identify the causes of visual loss. This data will be used to predict which patients are at risk of losing vision and how they can be better treated.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of islet transplantation for Type 1 diabetes mellitus, which may provide more normal control of blood sugar without the need for insulin shots. Islets are special clusters of cells within the pancreas that produce insulin. These cells will be obtained from cadaver (non-living) donors and given to subjects by vein.

For aim 1, the proposed studies will be performed in 150 patients with RA and 25 subjects without RA (healthy volunteers) who will function as controls.||For aim 2, 25 of the patients enrolled in aim 1 (who are in need for further treatment due to increased RA activity despite their current treatment) will be recruited to continue in the study for an additional 24 (+/- 2) weeks (or 6 months). These patient will receive a TNF inhibitor in addition to their current treatment in an open label protocol for increased disease activity and in the context of standard of care.||The investigators hypothesize that anti-TNF agents in RA patients without heart disease will not adversely affect the heart (will not cause a detrimental change in heart structure or its function).

Treatment of moderate to severe Psoriasis (Pso) and Psoriasis-Arthritis (PsA) is largely confined to systemic therapy in Germany. Systemic therapy includes conventional systemic therapy (e.g. fumaric acids, methotrexate, ciclosporin A) and biological treatment (e.g. adalimumab, etanercept). While short- and middle-term efficacy of most systemic treatments has been shown in clinical studies (and is incorporated in international guidelines), knowledge about long-term outcomes, optimal treatment and effectiveness under real-world conditions is still missing. PsoBest, the German registry on the treatment of moderate to severe Pso and PsA started in 2008 and documents the long-term course of patients being administered any biologic or conventional systemic antipsoriatic drug authorized in Germany for the first time. The registry evaluates the long-term course of 3,500 patients with Pso and PsA treated with systemic antipsoriatics.

A growing number of patients with Crohn's disease are treated with immunosuppressive agents, such as anti-tumor necrosis factor blockers and immunomodulators. Several recent studies have indicated that immunosuppressive treatment may impair the immunological response to pneumococcal vaccination in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis). One of weaknesses in the previous studies did not focus on specific disease, such as Crohn's disease. In addition, predictive factors affecting impaired response following pneumococcal vaccination have not clearly evaluated in patients with Crohn's disease. In this study, patients with Crohn's disease will be assessed for serological response to pneumococcal vaccination. Further, potential predictive factors that impact on vaccination outcomes and adverse events related to vaccination will be evaluated.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients under the age of 50 can have a greater risk than the general population above age 50. IBD patient are commonly treated with immunosuppression that increases the risk for Herpes Zoster. A new HZ vaccine is available that could decrease the risk of HZ in IBD patients.

The investigators have recently developed a paediatric adaptation of the INTERMED tool to address the unique developmental and social contexts of children and youth. The Pediatric INTERMED adopts a life-chart methodology to structure and organize complex case material in time, colour-coding domains to facilitate identification of areas of high need and risk for each patient. The focus of the present study is to examine the characteristics and usefulness of the tool in identifying psychosocial stress in children/youth diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), as well as identifying overall case complexity. Children and parents will participate in a semi-structured structured interview with a clinical nurse who will then rate the 34-PIM items. To examine the construct validity of each of the Pediatric INTERMED domains (biological, psychological, social, caregiver/family, health care system) participants will complete questionnaires assessing social and psychological functioning, parent and family stress, quality of life and adaptive functioning. Information about disease status, and health care utilization will be obtained from medical chart review. It is hypothesized that greater case complexity will be predictive of more complex disease course/treatment, poorer quality of life, and increased health care utilization.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the percentage of moderate to severe IBD participants with active disease at Day 1.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of high-grade (i.e. Grade 3-4 and Grade 5 of CTCAE v4.0) adverse reactions of interest in patients with metastatic RCC who have progressed during or after receiving at least one prior systemic anti-angiogenic treatment and who are eligible for nivolumab monotherapy.

The main aim of this study is to check the disease activity in people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.||Participants will complete questionnaires about their disease and quality of life on Day 1 clinic visit. They will do this during a standard scheduled appointment with their doctor. Some of this study will also involve collecting information about participants from their medical records.

The aim of the proposed project is to compare the effectiveness of two strategies designed to enhance patient understanding of medication risks/benefits: (1) Medication Guides, mandated for many medications by the Food and Drug Administration and (2) Drug Facts Boxes, developed by Woloshin and Schwartz to enhance the usability of consumer medication information. The investigators will also assess whether the effectiveness of these communication strategies can be increased by Gist Reasoning Training, which is designed to enhance patients' ability to extract meaningful gist from complex information.The investigators anticipate enrolling 300 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. The study will use a randomized controlled trial design with four study arms. Data will be collected primarily via self-administered, Internet-based surveys using REDCap. All participants will be followed for 6 months after the completion of baseline data collection.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a condition caused by gastrointestinal immune system dysregulation and affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Differences in intestinal bacteria exist between IBD patients and healthy controls, but the role of intestinal bacteria in the development and treatment of IBD remains largely unknown. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is the transfer of gastrointestinal bacteria from a healthy donor to a patient with altered microbial diversity with the intent of restoring a normal bacterial balance. Most studies focus on its use in treating Clostridium difficile (CDI), an infection characterized by dysbiosis. Given the role of dysbiosis in IBD, the investigators hypothesize that FMT may be beneficial in IBD. The purpose of this study is to prospectively examine the safety of FMT in the management of ulcerative colitis (UC).

This study was a non-interventional, retrospective study collecting data from hospital medical records. Approximately 200 adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who were treated with secukinumab from hospitals in Thailand that participated in this study were expected for data collection.
