Evolution of Total Energy Expenditure and Its Various Components in Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)Treated With Anti-TNF Agents and Comparison With Healthy Subjects

Start date: November 30, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis is associated with adiposity, sarcopenia, cachexia, reduced activity due to functional impairment, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Patients frequently gain weight when taking anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) medication, prompting questions about the underlying mechanism and long-term cardiovascular and metabolic tolerance associated with these drugs The primary objective of this study is to analyze the impact of anti-TNF treatment during the first year of administration on the energy metabolism of patients suffering from RA, assessed as an absolute value (before-after) and in comparison with a standard measured in healthy matched subjects.
