A Study To Investigate Markers Of Inflammation In Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Conditions
- Rheumatoid ArthritisOsteoarthritis
- Registration Number
- NCT00242853
- Lead Sponsor
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Brief Summary
This study is being conducted to validate various biomarkers in patients with RA with varying levels of disease severity. Subjects with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will be included as controls. The sudy will measure the baseline levels and the intra- and inter-subject variability of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) in patients with inactive/mild and moderate/severe RA on stable therapy or during a course glucocorticoids. In addition exhaled NO levels will be correlated with intra-articular inflammation (power Doppler ultrasonography) as well as markers of systemic inflammation (CRP, ESR).
