Vitamin
Vitamin D + Fish Oil for Health Improvement
This trial is studying whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D3 or omega-3 fatty acids reduces the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses.
Joint Replacement
Nexel Total Elbow Replacement for Elbow Osteoarthritis
This trial aims to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the Zimmer Nexel Total Elbow in patients needing their first or a revised elbow replacement. The device replaces damaged parts of the elbow to help reduce pain and improve function. The Zimmer Nexel Total Elbow is used to replace damaged parts of the elbow, primarily in patients with severe elbow pain and joint destruction.
Phase 3 Trials
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs)
DMARDs for Rheumatoid Arthritis
This trial is testing whether a certain type of arthritis medication can help predict clinical responses to other types of arthritis medication. All patients will receive a starting dose of the medication being tested, which may be adjusted by the investigator as needed. If a subject becomes intolerant to the medication being tested, the subject will be withdrawn from the study. Data from the study will be collected at the end of the trial.
Janus Kinase (JAK) Inhibitor
Long-Term Safety of Filgotinib for Rheumatoid Arthritis
This trial aims to check the ongoing safety and tolerability of filgotinib, a medication that helps reduce inflammation and pain. The study focuses on people with rheumatoid arthritis who have already used filgotinib in a previous study. Filgotinib works by blocking enzymes that cause inflammation, helping to reduce swelling and pain. Filgotinib has been approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in adults who respond inadequately to other treatments in Europe and Japan.
Device
Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Rheumatoid Arthritis
This trial will assess the safety and efficacy of a new device designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis by stimulating the vagus nerve. The study will enroll 250 subjects at 40 sites, who will either receive active or non-active stimulation. There will be a one-way crossover of control subjects to active stimulation after 12 weeks, and all subjects will receive active stimulation for the next 180 weeks to evaluate long-term safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to ra
What are the top hospitals conducting ra research?
When it comes to revolutionary clinical trials in the field of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), several hospitals are making significant contributions. One such facility is the Altoona Center for Clinical Research located in Duncansville, Pennsylvania. With eight ongoing RA trials, this center is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of treatment options for individuals living with this chronic inflammatory condition. While they may not have conducted any previous trials specifically focused on RA, their commitment and expertise make them an essential player in advancing knowledge and improving patient outcomes.
Another notable institution at the forefront of RA research is Brigham and Women's Hospital situated in Boston, Massachusetts. They currently have five active clinical trials aimed at unraveling new insights into this debilitating disease. Like Altoona Center for Clinical Research, they also do not have a history of past RA trials; however, their renowned reputation as a leading medical center makes them a trusted source for cutting-edge discoveries.
Heading west to Palm Desert, California brings us to Desert Medical Advances where four active RA trials are underway. Although they haven't conducted any historical studies on RA either, their participation demonstrates their dedication towards finding innovative solutions that can alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected by this autoimmune disorder.
Lincoln's Physician Research Collaboration, LLC also joins the ranks with four ongoing clinical trials focused on rheumatoid arthritis treatment advancements. Similar to other facilities mentioned above, they don't possess a record of prior investigations specific to RA but actively contribute through seeking answers that could potentially transform how we approach managing this condition.
Collectively these hospitals exemplify a shared mission: exploring novel treatments that can provide relief and better long-term outcomes for individuals battling rheumatoid arthritis worldwide.
