Filter by:A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter, Study to Evaluate the Impact of Upadacitinib on Spondyloarthritis Outcomes in Patients with Active Psoriatic Arthritis (UP-SPOUT)
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory pathologies whose progression over time is poorly defined, and in particular the clinical and instrumental elements that can predispose to a condition of disease severity are not completely known. It would be important to have an idea of what the predisposing factors are, possibly already at baseline, and possibly also at follow up, of severe disease, so as to be able to act early with more aggressive and targeted therapies on these patients, so as to achieve remission.
This study will evaluate the effect and safety of 608 in patients with nr-axSpA.
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of subcutaneous SCT650C in patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis
This is a phase IV, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib versus placebo (on a background of an NSAID) over 16 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks of safety follow-up in subjects with early active axSpA and inadequate response to at least one NSAID, with objective signs of inflammation.
A few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of yoga therapy in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSPA). On the other hand, studies conducted in other chronic rheumatisms such as low back pain, rheumatoid arthritis or other conditions such as cancer have shown that yogatherapy can have a effective action on the physical and psychological level. Yogatherapy is a non-drug "body-mind" approach that would be likely to improve the physical symptoms (pain, stiffness, in particular spinal and pelvic), internal organs (colitis) and psychological symptoms as well as the perception of fatigue of people with axSPA. A 2021 study showed the feasibility and acceptability of regular yogatherapy practice in patients with axSPA. It is therefore necessary to conduct randomized controlled studies to assess the effectiveness of this management strategy.
The relationship between exposure to air pollution and spondyloarthritis (SpA) has been poorly studied. Based on data from the literature on other inflammatory pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis, we hypothesize that there is a relationship between exposure to air pollution and the risk of presenting a flare-up in SpA patients following and living in Franche-Comté (France). Primary objective:The potential relationship between exposure to air pollution (nitrogen dioxide, fine particles with a diameter of less than 10 or 2.5 microns and Ozone) and the onset of a spondyloarthritis flare-up will be explored in patients with this pathology.
Chronic inflammatory rheumatism (CIR) is a group of inflammatory diseases that affect the joints and spine and are related to an abnormal immune response. CIR includes many different forms of arthritis that manifest as painful and swollen joints, stiffness, especially in the morning and persisting even after exercise, and limited joint mobility. CIR can also affect bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Some may affect other organs. These symptoms can lead to a reduced quality of life, limited physical activity and progressive structural and functional deterioration of the joints. Current treatment for CIR is aimed at reducing inflammation and relieving pain. Anti-inflammatory medications such as corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve pain and inflammation. Biotherapies can also be used to modify the progression of the disease. On the other hand, regular exercise can help strengthen the muscles that support the affected joints and improve mobility. Physical therapies, such as physical and occupational therapy, can also help improve mobility and relieve pain. Although there is no definitive cure for CIR early and appropriate treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life, as well as avoid the risk of developing complications such as lung, cardiovascular, kidney, ophthalmic, liver and other diseases. It is in this context, in order to better understand CIR to improve the global management of patients, and to analyze the evolution of CIR over time in relation to the different treatments proposed, that the interest in creating a database of patients with CIR arises.
The Chinese Spondyloarthritis Inception cohort (CESPIC) was started 2000 as a prospective, longitudinal, multicentre, nationwide study in China on patients with early SpA including ankylosing spondylitis (AS, also known as radiographic axial spondyloarthritis) and non-radiographic axial SpA. The objectives of CESPIC are to learn about the course of SpA during the very early stage of the disease, to appropriately assess the outcome including radiographic progression of patients after several years of follow-up, to identify outcome predictors, to assess quality of life, function, and costs (direct and indirect costs). CESPIC has been recently expanded to recruit patients with other forms of SpA / conditions associated with SpA: reactive arthritis, acute anterior uveitis, Crohn's disease as well as with psoriasis / axial psoriatic arthritis.
During the past decade, the well-known disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis has come to be considered as a subset of the broader entity referred as axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which also includes non-radiographic axSpA. The need of this new classification was aimed to improve the sensitivity for an early diagnosis, to reduce diagnostic delay, and to allow an early treatment. Although there is improvement in the recognition, the management of patients, and the treatment strategies of axSpA, unmet needs persist , there is still a substantial gap of 5-8 years between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis of axSpA. . This study is intended to enhance awareness and understanding of Axial Spondyloarthritis and to identify and discuss the current unmet needs in axSpA . Multiple defects are still unfullfilled for axial SpA patients those defects include delayed diagnosis specially for female, failure to acheive treatment target, pain, impaired quality of life and associated comorbidities. Up to the best of our knowledge this is the first study to highlight unmet needs for axial Spondyloarthritis patients in Egypt in general and in upper Egypt in particular .
