Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of adalimumab on health outcomes in participants with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and plaque psoriasis.
The main aim of this study is to ascertain general satisfaction among participants with rheumatic diseases with day-to-day use of the Benepali® prefilled pen by means of a standardised participant questionnaire. In addition, it is to be investigated whether differences exist in general participant satisfaction between participant groups who have undergone various prior treatment and/or have previous experience with application systems (participants new to the use of biologics, participants changing over from a prefilled injection or changing over from another pre-filled pen) and between participants of the various indication groups. Furthermore, the participants are to evaluate various aspects of using the Benepali® pre-filled pen based on their personal experience, such as e.g. handling, user-friendliness and features of the Benepali® pre-filled pen, as well as the effectiveness of the training on injection with the Benepali® pre-filled pen, based on participant satisfaction with the training received with the training pen and the evaluation of the training material received.
the main objectives are 1. to study the pathophysiological role of KIR3DL2 in axSpA and its relationship with Th17 immunity in HLA-B27 + and HLA-B27- patients and 2. to assess the effect on the pro-inflammatory immune response of a cytotoxic monoclonal antibody IPH4102 (anti-KIR3DL2) in these patients. The study will be carried out on blood samples from 24 patients with axSpA, 12 HLA-B27 + and 12 HLA-B27-, without any drug injection nor direct therapeutic benefit for the participating patients and 12 healthy controls.
Spondylarthropathies (SpA) are among the most common chronic inflammatory rheumatisms in adults, responsible for a muscular loss or sarcopenia which can be very disabling, not much documented in the literature, and not yet studied in France. In addition, sarcopenia is associated with decreased physical activity and increased risk of falls and fractures. A better characterization of the determinants of this muscular loss will allow to better detect and take care of it. The aim is to conduct the first French study on the prevalence and severity of sarcopenia in patients with spondyloarthropathies and to study the variables that may be associated with it. Finally, we propose to evaluate obesity related to sarcopenia in these patients and compare them to cases matched for age and sex (from OFELY / STRAMBO cohorts, Lyon, FRANCE). This is a prospective interventional and monocentric study with minimal risks and constraints: patients will be included for one day for an evaluation of their sarcopenia by measuring their muscle strength, physical performance and body composition and recording of their socio-demographic and disease characteristics.
Fulfilling by all patients consequently seen by 6 rheumatologists in a same outpatient rheumatology clinic (in at least one month period) of a set of 6 questionnaires, including RAPID3 and pain catastrophizing scales.
The purpose of this study is to accurately map calcaneal fibrocartilage using TE = 0 ms imaging, and then apply measurements of our control population to SpA patients with peripheral enthesis study using the calcaneal tendon as a clinical model
The hypothesis of the study is that the presence of (subclinical) gut inflammation at baseline in patients with early active axial spondyloarthritis predisposes to a more severe disease defined as more need to use anti-tumor necrosis factor α therapy and a shorter time to relapse after stopping anti-tumor necrosis factor α therapy after obtaining sustained clinical remission. Overall, the investigators hypothesize that subclinical gut inflammation is an important predictor in therapy response and outcome. These data could provide better insights into the complex interactions between gut and joint inflammation and guide the physicians in the therapeutic approach.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of secukinumab on the progression of structural damage in the spine, as measured by the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
This study is a non-interventional, longitudinal and non-confirmatory study to compare an active supervised training (AST) with standard of care (SOC) physiotherapy in patients with axial spondyloarthritis and stable response to adalimumab (HUMIRA®) with respect to health-related outcomes. The primary objective is the improvement in spinal mobility after a 6 month training program.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment withdrawal compared to continued treatment with golimumab (GLM) administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection on the incidence of a "flare" in non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis over up to 12 months. The primary hypothesis is that continued treatment with golimumab is superior to treatment withdrawal, based on the percentage of subjects without a "flare" during up to 12 months of blinded therapy.
