Filter by: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.
To date, there is no available tool that allows, at individual level, determination of the probability to develop clinically relevant complications of prolonged glucocorticoid therapy. In patients with inflammatory rheumatic disorders requiring prolonged glucocorticoid therapy, such tool could be useful to adapt first-line treatment decisions (in daily practice and in future clinical trials). The main objective of the study is to identify routine clinical, biological and DXA baseline characteristics predictive of the occurrence of clinically relevant complications of glucocorticoid therapy at 1 year, in order to propose a predictive score.
The purpose of this study is to compare two modes of delivering high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in a population with inflammatory rheumatic disease over 10 weeks. One group will recieved HIIT supervised by a healthcare professional, the other group will perform self-monitored HITT with guidance by a smarthpone application.
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are a new class of molecules available to the therapeutic arsenal for chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.The tolerance profile of this new class needs to be better defined and its use in real life further established. The French Society of Rheumatologists intends to coordinate a prospective national registry study for this follow-up. This registry will include at least 1500 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and 150 patients with psoriatic arthritis from the start of treatment with JAK inhibitor and then followed for 5 years. This registry is a longitudinal, multicentre, observational registry study. The objective of this national registry is to get a better understanding of the safety profiles of JAK inhibitors and get knowledge of their use in daily practice in order to optimize this use and potentially integrate JAK inhibitors into personalised medicine strategies. This registry will generate efficacy data, especially therapeutic maintenance, observation, allowing inter-registry comparisons with other biologic compounds in the French population, and can be aggregated with other similar registries in other countries.
Accurate knowledge of the humoral immune responses induced by SARS-CoV-2 in patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy is essential to guide recommendations for infected patients and for vaccination policy for uninfected immunosuppressed patients.
this observational, cross-sectional, national, comparative study, including RMD patients followed in hospital centres of the FAI²R Rare Diseases Healthcare Pathway network and specialist private practitioners caring for patients suffering from inflammatory rheumatism, systemic autoimmune diseases and auto-inflammatory diseases. The objective of the study is to compare RMD patients with COVID 19 infection (cases) to RMD patients who have not had COVID 19 infection (controls) on their mental health.
Patients with active rheumatic arthritis (RA) and lack of efficacy of at least one csDMARD (Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug) treatment will be randomized to receive either Tofacitinib (TOFA) or etanercept (ETA). The study will be separated into two parts: The capability to decrease and discontinue pain-reducing treatment with a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) over the first 12 weeks of treatment will be measured for primary outcome measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at week 12 compared to baseline between the two treatment groups. Starting at week 12, the capability to taper corticosteroid (CS) treatment using a treat-to-target strategy, i.e. when at least low disease activity (LDA-DAS28) is achieved, will be measured in both groups.
A retrospective monocentric study with large active files of patients monitored for rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus with as main endpoint the morbimortality of Covid-19 in these patients (number of patients hospitalized in conventional units and/or in intensive care and/or deceased). The results will be compared with those of the general population based on the epidemiological data of Covid-19.
Since December 2019, an international outbreak of respiratory illnesses caused by SARS-CoV-2 called covid-19 has become a global challenge. In France, while the first cases were reported in January, more than 20 000 cases were confirmed at end of March. Early estimations from epidemiological data seem to show that 18-20% of patients with confirmed covid-19 are admitted in an intensive care unit (ICU). Patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism, auto-immune or auto-inflammatory rare and non-rare diseases are susceptible to severe covid-19 (i.e ICU) due to the specific therapeutic management of their illness (corticosteroid, immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory drugs,..). No data are available for this particular population in France. This retrospective multicentre observational study aims to evaluate the frequency of severe forms of covid-19 and risk factors associated with specific outcomes in covid-19 in patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism, auto-immune or auto-inflammatory rare and non-rare diseases.
