Rheumatoid Arthritis Shared Decision Making
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
Shared decision making is the first overarching principle for the treat to target guidelines for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and has been proposed as a potential mechanism to reduce health disparities, however there is little evidence to inform effective ways to implement this practice in the care of Veterans with RA. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component shared decision making intervention on RA disease activity, adherence to RA medications and patient knowledge of RA. The proposed research will contribute to fundamental knowledge about how to effectively foster shared decision making across varied VA rheumatology clinical settings to improve patient disease outcomes and experience; and support clinicians to engage patients in meaningful ways with the ultimate goal to improve health, reduce disability, and eliminate disparities.

Zr-89 Cimzia PET Imaging Rheumatoid Arthritis
Sorry, currently not accepting new patients, but might later
This is a single center exploratory imaging study investigating the initial application of 89Zr-DFO-CZP PET in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with active symptoms of RA or signs on physical exam will be invited to participate for PET imaging.

CD40L Antagonism in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Sorry, not currently recruiting here
Patients with moderately-to-highly active Rheumatoid arthritis receive a 12-week VIB4920 treatment with Tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitor (TNFi) compared to background disease-modifying (RA) therapy with TNFi and without the addition of VIB4920. The primary objective is to determine if the addition of a 12-week course of treatment with VIB4920 to a TNFi in patients with RA who have had an inadequate response to a TNFi results in improved clinical disease control.
