A Study To Investigate Markers Of Inflammation In Rheumatoid Arthritis

Completed
Conditions
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteoarthritis
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).
