Application of the Personalized N-of-1 Trial Design in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
The goal of this N-of-1 study is to learn about treatment for individual patients who have rheumatoid arthritis (RA,) for which many treatments are available. The treatments are different in how they work, the way they are given, side- effects, and cost. While treatment guidelines are available, finding the best treatment order of treatments is often based on physician choice. The main question this study aims to answer are: - What are the effects of different treatments on RA symptoms and condition for each individual patient - What is the effectiveness of different treatments across all patients enrolled in the N-of-1 study Participants will be enrolled...

A Randomized Pilot rTMS Trial for Knee Arthritis Pain and Depression
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major public health problem, and involvement of the knee is especially disabling. Symptomatic knee OA has an incidence rate between 40 to 1,020 per 100,000 person years1 and is among the most common causes of disability worldwide. Knee arthritis pain and disability are highly comorbid wiht depression (30-50%). Currently available treatments offer only limited relief. The Pilot project aims to establish feasibility of the rTMS neuromodulation of response to Tai Chi and improvement in pain and comorbid depression in patients with knee OA. There are several ways in which the pilot project will improve scientific knowledge, and clinical practice: 1) The...

A Study to Test Whether Nerandomilast Helps People With Lungfibrosis Related to Rheumatic Diseases
Adults 18 years of age and older or above legal age with lung fibrosis related to systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease can participate in this study. People can only take part if they show no improvement in lung function after standard treatment with immunosuppressant medicine. The main purpose of this study is to find out how a medicine called nerandomilast affects the lungs in people with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes nerandomilast tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like nerandomilast tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a...

Autologous Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AdMSCs) for Osteoarthritis
This is a phase 2 open-label, 6 arms (1 study group and 1 control group for each joint category), randomized control group clinical study with 300 subjects diagnosed with osteoarthritis of knees (n=100), hips (n=100) and shoulders (n=100). The study subjects will be evaluated for disease-associated severity according to symptoms, such as pain, mobility, daily active life, and functions using arthritis society established specific measurement tools related to the joints (KOOS and KSS for OA-knees: HOOS and HHS for OA-hips and ASES and CSS for OA-shoulders).

Autologous Point-of-Care Adipose Therapy: Delayed Injury/Scar
The goal of this study is to explore if an adipose-based therapeutic strategy can treat contracted scars secondary to soft-tissue burn wounds in injured individuals, especially those with severe burns or soft-tissue loss. The main question it aims to answer are: - Can autologous layered composite grafting demonstrate non-inferiority compared to full-thickness skin grafting for delayed reconstruction of post-burn or trauma scar contracture? Researchers will compare the single-stage autologous layered composite grafting method to traditional methods to see if it improves healing outcomes, minimizes scarring, and reduces infection risk. Participants will: - ...

Autologous Point-of-Care Adipose Therapy: Recent Injury
The goal of this study is to explore if an adipose-based therapeutic strategy can treat full-thickness soft-tissue trauma wounds in injured individuals, especially those with severe burns or soft-tissue loss. The main question it aims to answer are: - Can immediate autologous adipose and autologous layered composite grafting be effective for acute functional soft-tissue reconstruction? Researchers will compare the single-stage autologous layered composite grafting method to traditional methods to see if it improves healing outcomes, minimizes scarring, and reduces infection risk. Participants will: - Receive immediate fat grafting into the wound. - ...
