Arthritis clinical trials in Montana: what to expect

Arthritis trials are split by type. Rheumatoid arthritis studies test biologics, targeted pills and, more recently, cell therapies in people whose joints stay inflamed despite methotrexate or a biologic. Knee osteoarthritis studies test injections meant to slow cartilage loss, new pain medicines, devices and exercise and weight programs. Psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and gout each have their own trials, and a listing will always say which type it enrolls.

In Montana, recruiting arthritis studies are concentrated in Kalispell, Great Falls, Missoula and Stevensville. 5 of the 5 are run by a drug or device company, which usually means a larger study with travel reimbursement; the rest are academic or hospital-led.

Who arthritis trials usually look for

Rheumatoid arthritis trials count swollen and tender joints and measure inflammation in the blood at screening, and ask that a standard medicine has not worked well enough; methotrexate usually continues, while a current biologic is stopped after a washout. Knee osteoarthritis trials need an X-ray showing moderate damage, a pain score above a threshold, and no steroid or hyaluronic acid injection in the past few months; many set a weight limit. Ages are usually 18 to 80, and most trials exclude pregnancy and a recent serious infection.

What taking part involves

Screening includes a joint exam, blood work and X-rays or an MRI. Rheumatoid arthritis trials run six to twelve months with visits every four weeks for an injection or infusion and labs; placebo arms are common, with rescue rules so no one stays on an ineffective treatment for long. Osteoarthritis injection trials give one or a few injections at the site and follow you for six to twenty-four months with pain diaries and imaging. Exercise trials involve supervised sessions for eight to twelve weeks. Study care is free and visits are usually paid.

Questions worth asking the study team

Which of your medicines continue; how long any washout is; the chance of placebo and the rescue rules; how imaging is scheduled; and whether an extension lets everyone receive the active treatment.

Adipose-Derived Biocellular Regenerative Therapy for Osteoarthritis
NA Stevensville, Montana +1 sites NCT04238143
This trial is looking for people with osteoarthritis in various joints. Participants will receive treatment using their own stem cells to help relieve pain and improve joint function.
Recruiting
A Clinical Study of Tulisokibart (MK-7240) to Treat Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis (MK-7240-013)
PHASE2 Chandler, Arizona +4 sites NCT07133633
This trial is looking for people with a type of arthritis called radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Participants will take a medication called tulisokibart to see if it helps improve their symptoms compared to a placebo, which looks like the medication but doesn’t contain any active ingredients.
Recruiting
A Study to Investigate Effectiveness of Tirzepatide Following Initiation of Ixekizumab in Participants With Active Psoriatic Arthritis and Overweight or Obesity in Clinical Practice (TOGETHER AMPLIFY-PsA)
PHASE4 Avondale, Arizona +4 sites NCT06864026
This trial is looking for people with active psoriatic arthritis who are overweight or obese. Participants will add a medication called tirzepatide to their current treatment with ixekizumab for up to 12 months.
Recruiting
AlloNK®, an Allogeneic Non-genetically Modified, Cord Blood-derived NK Cell Therapy, in Combination With Rituximab, Studied in Relapsing Forms of B-cell Dependent Rheumatologic Diseases.
PHASE2 Tuscaloosa, Alabama +4 sites NCT06991114
This trial is looking for adults with certain autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis or systemic sclerosis, who haven't responded well to standard treatments. It's important that they've had these conditions diagnosed recently and have tried other medicines without success. People with other serious health issues or who are pregnant may not be able to participate.
Recruiting
Study of Dapansutrile Tablets in Subjects With an Acute Gout Flare

How do I qualify for a Arthritis clinical trial in Montana?
Each study sets its own criteria based on age, Arthritis diagnosis details, prior treatments, current medications and general health. The fastest way to find out is to contact a research site directly — most will pre-screen you by phone in 10 to 15 minutes at no charge. You can also create a free TrialFinder profile to be matched automatically.
Which type of arthritis do trials enroll?
Each listing names one: rheumatoid, osteoarthritis (most often knee), psoriatic, ankylosing spondylitis or gout. Rheumatoid and knee osteoarthritis have the most recruiting trials.
Do I need to stop my arthritis medicine to join a trial?
For rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate usually continues and a biologic is stopped after a supervised washout. Osteoarthritis trials ask that you have had no joint injection for a few months and may limit daily pain medicine.
