Filter by:The primary objective of this case-control study aims to explore the role of bacterium Ruminococcus gnavus (R. gnavus) with intestinal biopsy and faecal sampling in the initiation and the development of spondyloarthritis (SPA) in comparison with health control subjets (patients without chronic disease but have indication to digestive endoscopy).
This prospective, non-interventional, research registry is designed to study the comparative safety and comparative effectiveness of approved Jak Inhibitors treatment for RA-PsA-SpA in a cohort of patients and theirs controls cared for by rheumatologists across Latin América (LA).
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.
Background: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) are prone to malnutrition for several reasons. The diseases and treatment can cause reduced intake and absorption of nutrients and the inflammatory processes may cause an increased demand for nutrients, especially proteins. Studies report that nutritional status can affect disease activity. Dietary supplement of 3-4 gram omega-3 has shown beneficial effect upon disease activity in patients with IRD. Aim: To investigate whether improved dietary intake with and without supplements of omega-3 will affect disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA). Hypothesis 1: A systematic change of diet in line with the Norwegian dietary guidelines, which will result in increased intake of, among other nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids and complete protein, as well as reduced intake of saturated fat and sugar, will improve nutritional status and reduce disease activity. Hypothesis 2: A systematic change of diet (as above), included a high dose of omega-3 will further improve nutritional status and reduce disease activity compared with placebo. Design: A DB-RCT-study will be conducted. All patients will receive individualized dietary guidance by a clinical dietician for 12 weeks, before randomization to supplements of omega-3 or placebo, for 24 weeks. The supplement will be blinded for the participants, researchers and physicians. Clinical implications: The study will investigate the effect of improved diet and nutrition on treatment offered to patients with IRD to provide more evidence-based knowledge, and thus specific dietary guidelines for patients with IRD. In addition, the study might increase the understanding of the role of omega-3 in the pathogenesis of inflammation.
An observational study aiming to assess the serological profile of SARS-Cov2 patients with systemic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren syndrome, sarcoidosis, inflammatory myopathies, Behçet's disease, Rheumatoid arthritis and Spondyloarthritis
There is a lack of knowledge among patients concerning their treatment with bDMARDs. To increase knowledge and safety skills, patient education is essential. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a pharmacist's educational interview on on knowledge and safety skills to bDMARDs in patients with inflammatory arthritis.
The aim of this study is to explore the effect of a low starch diet (reduction of at least 40%) in the gut bacteria modulation, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, and its relation to disease activity, functional impairment and quality of life in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
Evaluate the impact of confinement on treatment use in spondyloarthritis. Study hypothesis that with the confinement, subjects will stop their treatment. The main objective is to study the impact of confinement on treatment. And secondly to look for for specific psychological profile linked to the interruption of the treatment. the study population consists of patients with spondyloarthritis and belonging to a patient association (ACS). All patients over 18 are included. A mailing questionnaire will be send to all patients. data on diseases activity and treatment will be collected
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis or spondyloarthritis, currently treated or about to be started with anti-TNF original drug adalimumab or etanercept will be included and randomized to either " information leaflet only " or " information leaflet + nurse information " arms, just before they see their rheumatologist for periodic assessment of disease and treatment. Patients from the " information leaflet only " arm will be distributed individually a dedicated leaflet with written generic informations about the use of biosimilars in rheumatic diseases (individual and societal advantages, pharmaceutical development, scientific efficacy and safety results). Patients from the " " information leaflet + nurse information " arm will be delivered the same leaflet, and additionally offered to have a dedicated individual interview with a specialist nurse, who will orally discuss informations about biosimilars based on a standardized talk, completed by answers to any questions by the patient. The rheumatologist will then propose, unless inappropriate based on clinical evaluation of the patient, a change in the treatment of patients from the original drug to the corresponding biosimilar. The primary outcome will be the observed proportions of patients actually receiving the biosimilar drug at the 6-months follow-up visit in the 2 compared arms. Secondary outcomes will be average time spent by the nurse to adequatley inform the patient, the proportion of patients from the intervention arm who have actually asked for the nurse information interview, and the reasons for refusal of biosimilars, when appropriate.
The primary objective of the study aims to compare the biodiversity of intestinal microbiota between spondylarthritis (SPA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and healthy volunteers, by microbiota DNA sequencing in order to further and respond the prior results, which suggested that there is a specific dysbiosis for each of the 2 diseases. A comparative analysis will allow to identify the biomarkers of the specific bacteria.
