Geniculate Artery Embolization

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability and chronic pain that reduces physical activity and daily activities. In this clinical research study, the goal is to learn more about geniculate artery (located in the knee) embolization (GAE) treatment to see if it will reduce pain as well as stiffness and difficulty performing daily activities caused by knee OA and if it can be performed safely.

Observational Study of Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases: The CARRA Registry

The primary objective for this observational study is to collect general and medical data from children, adolescents, and young adults who had pediatric onset rheumatic disease. This data will be used to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of therapeutic agents used to treat these diseases. This information will allow investigators to accurately report and follow changes in current medication use patterns and compare these to proposed standards and current treatment recommendations. The use of a single registry will allow for more analysis of the different therapeutic agents by allowing them to be compared to each other.

SKOAP: A Sequenced-Strategy for Improving Outcomes in people with knee OsteoArthritis Pain (SKOAP)

There is an urgent public health need to reduce our reliance on opioids for effective long-term pain management, particularly in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This effectiveness trial will compare recommended treatments to reduce pain and functional limitations in KOA and identify clinical and patient-level factors associated with treatment response. These results will lead to improved patient selection for treatment and inform evidence based guidelines by offering well-tested, effective, non-opioid alternatives.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Brepocitinib in Adults with Dermatomyositis (VALOR)

In this study, brepocitinib will be compared to a placebo. Brepocitinib is an investigational medicine because it has not yet been approved by any regulatory agency for use. Researchers will compare the results of taking the placebo to the results of taking the study medicine to see if there are any differences. This medicine may be helpful for your disease, but we do not have any information about this yet. 67% of participants will receive brepocitinib and 33% will receive the placebo which will be decided randomly by chance. Participation will last for up to 64 weeks (15 months). Visits will be scheduled about every 4 to 6 weeks.

CONQUER Protocol Number 001: COllaborative, National QUality and Efficacy Registry for Tracking Disease Progression in Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) Patients (CONQUER)

The purpose of this study is to develop a cohort of patients with early scleroderma, and to collect data on clinical outcomes, radiological tests, laboratory tests and to obtain biological specimens for testing.We hope to explore medical care and the impact of SSc on patients' daily lives through various questionnaires that will be collected during study participation. By looking at all of the areas mentioned, we hope to find out information about SSc that will help treat future patients, develop new treatments, and work towards a cure.

First Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis Evaluation: Determining the Concurrent Validity and Test-Retest Reliability of the Thumb Disability Index (TDX) and Test-retest Reliability of Thumb Position Sense-Error using the Intermetacarpal Distance (IMD) Method

We are studying different questionnaires used to measure symptoms and activity limitations that are linked to thumb arthritis. We are also studying ways to measure thumb position sense in persons with thumb arthritis.

Mechanisms of a Dynamic Stability Approach

If you have been referred to occupational therapy for thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis and you are 18 years or older, you are eligible for this study. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States, with an estimated 25.6 million Americans affected by osteoarthritis (OA) of the hand. Thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis) is the most common and limiting form of hand osteoarthritis, causing chronic pain, weakness, reduced joint movement, and difficulty carrying out common daily tasks. The purpose of this research study is to find out if an 8-week dynamic stability program can help people with a range of CMC OA severity and symptoms. Dynamic stability (DS) is a new occupational therapy program that uses a series of exercises to strengthen specific muscles around the thumb CMC joint. By strengthening these muscles, the DS approach aims to reduce joint pain, delay further damage, and improve function and participation in daily activities. If you enroll, we expect that you will be in this research study for 9 weeks, for a total of about 15 hours of participation. During the study, you will participate in: 4 occupational therapy (OT) study visits (about 60 minutes each), a home exercise program (15-20 minutes/day) for 8 weeks and, 2 assessment visits (Baseline, and week 9) where we will using Computerized Tomography, a type of X-ray, and ultrasound to take measures of your affected joint and have you complete questionnaires related to pain and disability.

Biologic Abatement and Capturing Kids Outcomes and Flare Frequency in Juvenile Spondyloarthritis (BACK OFF JSpA) (BACK-OFF JSpA)

This study is enrolling participants who have been diagnosed with juvenile spondyloarthritis, are taking a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) and have reached a clinically inactive disease state for a minimum of six months. Researchers want to know if children who have maintained inactive disease for at least 6 months can maintain quiet disease without taking their medication as frequently or stop the TNFi therapy. Quiet disease means that disease related symptoms are not active or being experienced in the patient. Researchers also want to know the safest method to bring patients off medication. If a flare does occur during therapy reduction, researchers want to find out whether they can predict when a flare is most likely to happen, and how quickly an inactive disease state can be recaptured.
