Show all 23Show fewer

  • Concurrent or past medical history of congestive heart failure or pulmonary oedema
  • A presence of severe peripheral oedema or a medically serious fluid-related event
  • has significant cardiac, pulmonary, metabolic, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal or immunological conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator and/or GSK medical monitor, places the subject at an unacceptable risk as a participant in this trial

  • The subject is at risk of non-compliance in following directions or adhering to study restrictions
  • a history of drug or other allergy, which, in the opinion of the physician responsible, contraindicates their participation

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • rosiglitazone XRDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Disease Activity Score (DAS) following 6 months of treatment

    Measured: 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Disease activity at 3 months and 6 months, e.g., number of affected joints Patient Assessments of Improvements in Disease Activity, e.g., fatigue and pain assessment Assessment of safety, tolerability and biological activity

    Measured: Disease activity at 3 months and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing rosiglitazone XR in people with Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 5 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United Kingdom, Lithuania. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease Activity Score (DAS) following 6 months of treatment (time frame: 6 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00379600, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Oct 2016.
