Filter by:Since june 2021, vaccination against the SARS-Cov2 virus is recommanded in France to all children from 12 to 18 years old. In the specific population of teenagers living with juvenile arthritis, the vaccine seems to be safe and well tolerated. It has been shown previously that this population has a vaccine coverage lower than the global population even though few datas are available on this topic The aim of this resarch is to study the vaccination coverage against the SARS-Cov2 virus and more specifically the reasons why adolescents were or were not vaccinated in the population of adolescents with juvenile arthitis followed up in Angers, Nantes and Rennes. For this purpose, a review of the medical record will be done and a questionnaire will be adressed to the family of patients in order to collect informations about the disease, the treatments, the motives or obstacles to vaccination. Secondaries end points are safety of the vaccination, consequences on the juvenile arthritis (such as changes in the medication, flare-up of the illness) and the occurence of covid infection after vaccination.
TRACER is a study aiming to investigate the feasibility of transition coaching sessions for patients moving from paediatric to adult rheumatology care.
The aim of the study is to determine whether serum inflammatory angiogenic markers (eg, semaphorins, CCN1) predict severity of juvenile idiopathic arthritis defined by structural progression and/or therapeutic escalation.
the purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of Electrical Acupuncture Versus naproxen phonophoresis on Refractory pain in Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease affecting children, characterized by chronic synovitis with systemic multi-organ damage. Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) is a subtype of JIA defined as disease involving more than five joints in the first 6 months of disease. This study will assess how safe and effective adalimumab (Humira®) is in treating pediatric participants with pJIA in China real-world setting. Adalimumab is an approved drug for the treatment of pJIA. Approximately 50 participants age 2 to 17 who are prescribed adalimumab for the treatment of pJIA in routine clinical practice will be enrolled at multiple sites in China. Participants will receive adalimumab per their physician's usual prescription. Individual data will be collected for 52 weeks. No additional study-related tests will be conducted during the routine physician visits. Only data which are routinely collected during a regular visit will be utilized for this study.
The PERSON-JIA Trial is a cluster-randomized trial testing the use of Shared Decision Making (SDM) with families for treatment of children with arthritis. The intervention is a discussion between physicians and families at the time of diagnosis that uses computer-generated personalized outcome reports generated by previously developed prediction algorithms. By using information provided by thousands of families, the investigators have developed a way of providing answers to common questions asked by patients and their families at diagnosis. We will test whether a structured discussion and shared decision between families and doctors (guided by the patient's personal report) will improve the tailoring of treatment to the child and control of their disease. The personal report is called the PERSON-JIA report and presents the child's expected disease severity, the likelihood the child will be arthritis free by age 18 and the chance treatments will be effective and/or have side effects. This way, answers to these questions can be shared by physicians and families to weigh potential benefits and harms according to family values and preferences. The investigators expect that using the personalized report in a frank and thoughtful discussion will help physicians and families make better decisions about managing the child's disease. This in turn will result in better disease control, greater family engagement and satisfaction with care and better-tailored treatment. If so, this will be a ground-breaking way of using information provided by families and doctors to improve the care provided to and the outcomes of children with arthritis in Canada.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic inflammatory disease in children affecting mobility and physical function. The hip involvement represents a frequent complication in JIA patients. The assessment of hip damage becomes a mandatory step in disease monitoring. However, radiological scoring was not standardized. This study aimed to compare the two scoring systems previously proposed, examine their repeatability and their intra and inter agreement.
Two types of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (excluding monogenic diseases) can be distinguished in children: those similar to adult diseases but with an early onset (type 1 diabetes, inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, rheumatoid arthritis with anti-CCP antibodies) and those specific to children that are not described in adults (early-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis with anti-nuclear and anterior uveitis). The familial and nosological aggregations suggest that these diseases are probably polygenically determined, and result from interactions with the environment. In a singular way, the incidence of "adult" diseases is increasing while the age of onset is getting earlier; conversely, there is no increase in early-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis. On the other hand, the influence of early events that may alter the microbiotic environment is different for different diseases: whereas cesarean section (or early antibiotic therapy) has been shown to increase the risk of JIA and T1DM, it does not seem to change the risk of IBD. We hypothesize that environmental factors, particularly those related to diet and bacterial and fungal digestive microbiota - are different between these disease categories.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of ustekinumab and guselkumab in active juvenile psoriatic arthritis (jPsA).
Adult-Onset Still's disease is a polygenic autoinflammatory disease of unknown etiology. The autoinflammatory character individualizes it from autoimmune autoantibody diseases. Clinically, it results in the classic triad associating hectic fever, evanescent rash and arthritis. Although it is benign in the vast majority of cases, life-threatening complications can occur. By definition, the disease affects adults over 16 years of age, however most experts now agree that the adult form and the pediatric form belong to a pathological continuum: Still's disease. In the absence of a specific biomarker, the diagnosis is still based on clinical and biological criteria, after the exclusion of differential diagnoses. Classically, three evolutionary profiles of Adult-Onset Still's disease are individualized, depending on the evolution of symptoms over time: - a monocyclic systemic form (30% of cases) characterized by clear systemic symptoms and in the foreground compared to the articular signs. This form evolves over several weeks to several months (on average 9 months), without exceeding a year. By definition, there is no recurrence; - a polycyclic systemic form (30% of cases) defined by the occurrence of at least two systemic or joint episodes, separated by clinical remission intervals greater than two months, or even several years. The symptoms of relapses are not always the same as the initial symptoms. The number and severity of relapses is unpredictable and varies widely from patient to patient, but symptoms tend to become less severe over time. - a chronic form, with predominant joint involvement (40%), resembling seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. Systemic signs are present during the first outbreaks of the disease. Subsequently, rheumatoid arthritis evolves on its own and one can see joint destruction or conversely ankylosing developments such as the classic bilateral, non-erosive fusing carpitis. There are reasons to believe that the evolving profile of patients has changed since the emergence and generalization of biotherapies. Furthermore, no prognostic factor for the progression of Adult-Onset Still's disease has been found so far. The differences between pediatric and adult forms need to be confirmed and becoming pediatric forms in adulthood is poorly described. The objective of this study is to set up a regional research database (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes-Limousin) in order to describe the characteristics, treatment and evolution of patients with Still's disease.
