Filter by:PSODEEP 1 is a descriptive digital interview study where we intend to include at least 900 individuals. Individuals with known psoriasis or known psoriatic arthritis will access the digital interview via a QR code distributed via their rheumatology or dermatology department using their smartphones. Data on answers results are stored digitally and can be accessed parallel to recruitment. Questions focus on following fields (all self reported): background information (age/sex), disease duration, disease course/fluctuation, disease diagnosis as given by MD, disease treatment, disease severity, disease classification, disease triggers, screening of psoriatic arthritis (questions derived from PEST questionnaire), Koebner occurence, variability in Koebner over time, deep-Koebner occurence and variability in Deep-Koebner over time.
Despite advances in effective psoriatic disease treatment, the disease still has a serious impact on mental health and well-being of millions of patients. Up to 20.7% of patients report poor mental health, compared to 7.1% of the general population. Mental health treatment involves a combination of medication and talk therapy to address such issues. However, there is increasing evidence that optimizing behaviors such as sleep, physical activity, stress, and nutrition are critical components in improving mental health too. Numerous online health programs have evolved to help patients optimize such behaviors but very little exists for patients with psoriatic diseases. The "Immune Strength" 12 week program utilizes online electronic coaching (eCoaching) with weekly access to a wellness professional to provide a low-cost, high-touch, personalized intervention that patients can access 24/7. In conjunction with traditional clinical care, the goal of this program is to leverage the convenience, affordability, scalability and effectiveness of an online eCoaching program to improve key physical behaviors, thereby reducing the mental health burden experienced by psoriatic disease patients.
TRACER is a study aiming to investigate the feasibility of transition coaching sessions for patients moving from paediatric to adult rheumatology care.
This is a Phase 2a study to investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of ATI-450 versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis.
This is an open-label study to evaluate the effects of bimekizumab in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and who also have active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
People with inflammatory diseases treated with immune-suppressing medication are recommended to have regular blood-tests to monitor for potential side-effects of this treatment on their blood count, liver and kidneys. However, it is not clear that monitoring is needed as frequently as currently recommended in the long-term, with side-effects being rare after one year of treatment. A study is currently underway to determine the optimal blood-test monitoring strategy which is cost-effective but still safe. Any changes in the monitoring strategy must be acceptable to patients and the healthcare professionals (HCP) that treat them. This study aims to measure how often patients' with common inflammatory conditions on long-term immune suppressing medication attend their monitoring blood tests as currently recommended, and uncover patients' and HCP views and experiences of the current blood-test monitoring strategy, and the acceptability of potential changes to this in the future. Firstly, patients with an inflammatory condition on long-term immune suppressing treatment will be invited to complete a questionnaire which will ask about their demographic information, medical condition(s), immune-suppressing treatment, adherence to the monitoring blood tests and willingness to take part in an interview. Then, both patients and HCPs who care for such patients will be invited to take part in a single, semi-structured interview. Interviews will be face-to-face, by telephone or video-call, last up to one hour and digitally audio-recorded. Patient interviews will explore their perceptions of risk, benefits and experiences of current testing, and views on the new testing frequencies emerging from the study prior. HCP interviews will explore their perceptions of current testing including, the practicalities, usefulness, risks and benefits of the blood tests, and views on the new testing frequencies emerging from the study prior. The findings will shape the recommendations for a new monitoring strategy, ensuring it is acceptable to patients and HCPs.
This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study will include subjects with fibromyalgia (FM), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and asymptomatic controls. Participants will undergo a research ultrasound (US) exam of the enthesis of the Achilles' tendon, the medial collateral ligament at the femoral epicondyle and the common extensor tendon at lateral epicondyle of the elbow in resting conditions. The research US exam will consist of shear wave elastography (SWE) and radiofrequency (RF) data acquisitions. SWE technology will allow quantification of the shear wave speed (SWS) reporting the elastic stiffness of the tissues under investigation. RF data will be used to estimate quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters characterizing the mean intensity μ (akin to B-mode echogenicity), acoustic inhomogeneity (1/alpha), and structural spatial organization of echoes (κ) in the tissue.
Patient preference and experience can impact patients' adherence and persistence regarding a treatment, especially when switching. A number of factors contribute to this, including their beliefs, fears, expectations, and overall knowledge. This is compounded by the fact that many switched patients are not trained on how to use the new injection device. Specifically, some patients report a degraded experience with current adalimumab biosimilars (40mg/0.8mL) as compared to the originator: injections appear more painful and seem to cause more bruising. Indeed, treatment-related factors such as treatment volume or the presence of citrate have the potential to negatively impact patient experience and contribute to local reactions at or around the injection site, such as pain and swelling. Yuflyma® (CT-P17 adalimumab), developed by Celltrion Inc., is a biosimilar of the anti-TNF treatment adalimumab, having obtained a marketing authorisation from the European Commission on 11th February 2021 (addressed to Celltrion Healthcare). Yuflyma® is the first high-concentration adalimumab biosimilar (40mg/0.4mL) available in France, which makes the product similar to the currently available adalimumab originator formula in terms of drug concentration. Studying patient experience over the course of a switch involves querying patients at the time of prescription, while they are still under the previous treatment, and for the following 3 months, during which they have been able to pick up their prescribed medication from a pharmacy and have started using the new treatment. Describing patient experience over the course of a switch from another adalimumab (originator or biosimilar) to Yuflyma® would contribute to identifying significant factors which contribute to patient experience and satisfaction. Our primary objective is to assess patients' overall satisfaction with the injection after the switch to the high-concentration adalimumab biosimilar Yuflyma®, at 3 months following the initiation, compared to their experience with the previous adalimumab. - Overall satisfaction with the injection (7-level likert) before initiation - Overall satisfaction with the injection (7-level likert) 3 months after initiation
TNFα inhibitors have revolutionized the management of patients suffering from inflammatory diseases in the field of rheumatology. Infliximab remains widely used in France, and infliximab biosimilars have been routinely used since 2015 in Cochin Hospital with an interchangeability strategy validated by two real life studies. REMSIMA® 120 mg is the first authorized subcutaneous (SC) form of infliximab to be administered at a fixed dose of 120 mg every 2 weeks. Scarce information is available regarding the safety and efficacy of proposing a switch from IV infliximab to SC REMSIMA® in the subsets of patients suffering from different rheumatic diseases in daily care. The primary objective of the SIC2 study will be determine the retention rate of Remsima SC at 6 months. The investigators will recruit adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to expand on the ongoing post-marketing monitoring of abatacept to include all participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) treated with abatacept captured in Danish Database for Biologic Therapies (DANBIO).
