Factors associated with severe forms of COVID-19 infection in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) or Autoimmune Diseases (AID) are unknown. This unprecedented situation leads to empirical and potentially erroneous advice and recommendations for care. Identifying factors associated with severity, in the context of this pandemic, which is expected to last many months, and possibly years, is crucial for future patients. The objective of this work is to identify the factors associated with the occurrence of severe forms of COVID-19 infection in patients with IRD or AID, by combining analysis of 2 large databases.
The main objective of this study is to generate diagnosis and therapeutic-decision tools through the identification of molecular causes of PIDs with autoimmunity/inflammation and the variability in disease outcome at the transcriptional level using a combination of omics signatures (transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metagenomics, metabolomics and lipidomics).
Exploration of pathophysiological mechanisms in chronic inflammatory rheumatism and rare systemic autoimmune diseases with the objective of identifying therapeutic targets.
A double-blind randomized controlled trial on the safety and immunogenicity of the recombinant subunit herpes zoster vaccine, Shingrix, in patients with rheumatic diseases undergoing immunosuppressive or biologic/targeted DMARD therapies
Patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism (RIC) or autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis, are regularly monitored in consultation as part of a "treat to target" strategy with rapid adaptation of treatments to the activity of their disease. according to French recommendations. They are treated with immunosuppressive drugs: disease-modifying treatments with very often methotrexate, associated with biotherapies or targeted therapies (JAK inhibitors) They can also be treated transiently or over the long term with corticosteroids. These treatments expose them to greater infectious risks, especially with regard to COVID19. The objective is on the one hand to assess the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on general state of health of these patients and the evolution of their disease and on the other hand to prioritize the optimal care of these patients by including in the context of maintaining the pandemic reduction rules, modern telemedicine technologies.
30 months, multicentre, prospective observational study on adult (>18 years) patients with a diagnosis of rare and complex connective tissue diseases (rCTDs) who will be given the vaccine during the period from January 2021 and January 2022. Patients with the following diagnosis will be included: - antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), - Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), - idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), - IgG4-related disease (IgG4), - mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), - relapsing polychondritis (RP), - Sjogren's syndrome (SS), - systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), - systemic sclerosis (SSc) - undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD)
We seek to study the behaviour of Coronavirus infection in patients with rheumatological and/or autoimmune comorbidities, understood as a particular pathophysiological universe with its own risks and eventual benefits, until now fully hypothetical to be confirmed by means of real and recent evidence. On March 12, 2020, an initiative called the Global Alliance for COVID-19 in Rheumatology (The COVID-19 Rheumatology Alliance) arises, as a rapid response of international coordination whose ultimate goal is to serve as help or guideline for all those doctors who seek be faced with receiving, evaluating, understanding and caring for a patient with rheumatological and / or autoimmune diseases in relation to the imminent risk of COVID-19.
The effects of exercises performed by telerehabilitation on individuals with hand-affected scleroderma on range of motion, grip strength, function, sensation, daily life activities and general health will be compared with the effects of traditional physiotherapy practices.
The majority of patients diagnosed with rheumatic disease, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory myositis, and vasculitis, will experience fever or infection during their course of therapy. The most common microbiologically documented infection is bacterial, virus, and fungal, which can be associated with the severity and mortality of disease. Current methods of diagnosis require a significant load of pathogen making early detection difficult. Delayed diagnosis and delayed optimal therapy of infection are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study seeks to identify whether next generation sequencing (NGS) of pathogens can identify patients with infection treated with corticosteroid and immunosuppressive agents. This would enable preemptive targeted therapy to replace prophylaxis treatment which often leads to some adverse events and antibiotic resistance.
