Background: Inflammation plays a significant role in various disorders that involve neurodegeneration or autoimmune reaction as one of their mechanisms. PET scans can help detect inflammation. Two new drugs may create better PET images. Objective: To see if the drug \[11C\]MC1 can help image inflammation. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with rheumatoid arthritis or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Healthy volunteers enrolled in protocol 01-M-0254 or 17-M-0181 are also needed. Design: Healthy participants will be screened under protocol 01-M-0254 or 17-M-0181. Participants with arthritis or IIM will have a screening visit. This will include: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Possible CT or X-ray: A machine will take pictures of the body. Healthy participants will have 1 or 2 visits. They may have urine tests. They may take the drug celecoxib by mouth. They will have a PET scan. A small amount of one or both study drugs will be injected through a catheter: A needle will guide a thin plastic tube into an arm vein. Another catheter will draw blood. They will like on a bed that slides into a machine. Their vital signs and heart activity will be measured. Participants with arthritis will have up to 2 visits after screening. They may take celecoxib and have PET scans. Participants with IIM will have up to 3 visits after screening. At 1 or 2 visits, they will take celecoxib and have PET scans. They will have 1 visit where they have an MRI: They will lie on a table that slides into a machine. The machine takes pictures of the body.

Trial Phase:Phase 1

30 Participants Needed

The primary objective of this study is to compare outcomes between formal clinic based physical therapy (PT) rehabilitation and surgeon directed home therapy (HT) after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) as measured by pain, range of motion, Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) scores at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The secondary objective of this study is to determine if PT rehabilitation following RSA is associated with a higher level of postoperative complications, specifically acromial stress fractures or dislocation. This information will be useful to discern if PT is effective in providing pain relief more quickly, as well as improved motion and self-reported functional outcomes following RSA, which can assist surgeons and rehabilitation specialists in designing optimal care plans for this patient population. The project will also help to clarify if PT services place patients who have RSA at higher risk for acromial stress fractures or dislocation.

This trial is testing whether colchicine, a medication usually used for gout, can help improve metabolism in people with high body weight and inflammation. The study focuses on individuals aged 12 and older who have high insulin levels but not high blood sugar. Colchicine aims to reduce inflammation that contributes to insulin resistance and other health problems. Colchicine has been studied for its potential anti-diabetic properties, showing it can significantly reduce blood glucose levels.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effects (relief of pain) of glucocorticoids (steroids) and pain medication versus pain medication alone in adult patients presenting to the emergency department with joint pain due to osteoarthritis. Steroids are drugs that can reduce inflammation and are used commonly for many different medical conditions. In brief, the central aims of the study are to: 1. Assess the efficacy of adding oral glucocorticoid medications to the standard pain medications used to treat the pain of osteoarthritis. 2. Assess the safety and tolerability of oral glucocorticoid medication for the short-term treatment of osteoarthritis pain. We hypothesize that: 1) The addition of glucocorticoids to standard pain medications will improve reported pain scores at 3 days following the initiation of treatment compared to standard pain medications alone and 2) The use of glucocorticoids will be well tolerated. Participants in the study will be randomized (like flipping a coin) into one of three groups: 1. Study Group 1 (Control) receiving placebo pills (no active ingredient) once a day for 5 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days. 2. Study Group 2 (Intervention A) who will receive prednisone (steroid) once a day for 5 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days. 3. Study Group 3 (Intervention B) who will receive one dose of dexamethasone (steroid) followed by placebo pills (no active ingredient) once a day for 4 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days. In all groups, acetaminophen (a different pain medication) can be taken as needed for pain that is not controlled with ibuprofen. Participants will: * Receive follow up phone calls at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. * Report pain scores related to joint pain. * Report the number of pills taken of the various medications used in the study. * Report any adverse events incurred during the follow up period.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I am an active athlete who is not ready or willing to stop my activities because of knee pain at 42. I have tried cortisone shots and found they only temporary mask the issue, or even cause more problems later. That's why I started researching medical studies."

GM
Arthritis PatientAge: 44

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

HZ
Arthritis PatientAge: 78

"I’m allergic to so many standard arthritis drugs, so I've been researching some of the newest ones still in the research phase. I'm hoping to find out if I'd be a good match—it would be great to find something that works (and, if not, at least contribute to the cause)."

TJ
Arthritis PatientAge: 79

"I've been 17+ years in pain with bilateral osteoarthritis. PRP and HA injections have not helped. Physical therapy has helped only to a certain degree. I'm looking for new treatment options before considering replacement. "

RH
Arthritis PatientAge: 39

"I’ve tried several meds without too much relief. Injections only work on my right knee but not much on the left knee. My pain is nearly unbearable at this point. Hoping to learn about what promising drugs exist in trials."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Arthritis clinical trials in Baltimore, MD pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Arthritis clinical trials in Baltimore, MD work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Arthritis trials in Baltimore, MD 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Baltimore, MD for Arthritis is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Baltimore, MD several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Arthritis medical study in Baltimore, MD?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Arthritis clinical trials in Baltimore, MD?

Most recently, we added Sleep Interventions for Postoperative Pain, Adipose Tissue Allograft for Knee Arthritis and TRL1068 for Prosthetic Joint Infection to the Power online platform.
