Filter by:Social determinants of health (SDoH), defined by the World Health Organization as "the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and age and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life" are estimated to be responsible for nearly 90 percent of a person's health outcomes. SDoH are key contributors to racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in care healthcare access and health outcomes. The goal of this clinical trial is to identify patients with inflammatory arthritis or with a systemic rheumatic condition with arthritis who may respond to the simplest and least expensive intervention to address their SDoH-related needs- a tailored list of resources, those who benefit from a community-based resource specialist to help address specific needs, and those who require a nurse-trained navigator to help both coordinate the services provided by the community-based specialist, and their medical and mental health care and needs. The main questions the clinical trial aims to answer are: 1. To test the efficacy of a rheumatology clinic-based nurse navigator and community resource specialist to reduce appointment no-shows and same-day cancellations in patients with systemic rheumatic conditions with arthritis. 2. To examine the cost-effectiveness of each of the different study interventions for individuals with systemic rheumatic conditions with arthritis with SDoH-related needs using questionnaires and cost-related care metrics. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 arms. In Arm 1, patients will receive a cultivated list of resources related to the needs that patients indicate on the social determinants of health questionnaire. Arm 1 is the control arm which receives the current standard of care. In Arm 2, patients will receive the assistance of a community resource specialist (CRS) - an individual without formal medical training with community-based expertise. In Arm 3, patients will receive the assistance of a nurse patient navigator with additional systemic rheumatic condition-specific training who will work with the CRS. After 6 months, patients who do not respond to Arm 1 will move to Arm 2. Patients who do not respond to Arm 2, will move to Arm 3. Patients who do not respond to Arm 3 will remain in Arm 3. Patients who respond to any arm will graduate the program at 6 months. The patients who do not respond be in their new arm for 6 months. At 12 months, all patients remaining in the study will graduate.
The objective of this study is to evaluate if VTX958 is safe and effective in adult participants with active Psoriatic Arthritis. Approximately 195 eligible participants will take VTX958 Dose A, VTX958 Dose B, or matching placebo (no active drug) for 16 weeks and then move on to a 36 week Long Term Extension (LTE). The study will include 16 weeks of treatment, 36 weeks of LTE, and a 30-day follow-up period.
68Ga-FAPI has been developed as a tumor-targeting agent as fibroblast activation protein is overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts and some inflammation, such as IgG4-related disease. Therefore, this prospective study is going to investigate whether 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be superior for disease activity assessment and follow-up of psoriatic arthritis than 18F-NAF PET/CT.
Erosive osteoarthritis of the hand (EHOA) is a rare subset of HOA that affects mainly postmenopausal middle-aged women, featured by prominent signs of inflammation, severe progression, and typical radiographic changes of the interphalangeal (IP). It is presently debated whether EHOA is an advanced stage of the classical HOA or a separate entity with peculiar inflammatory features, which can mimic chronic arthritis such as psoriatic arthritis (PsA). PsA is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory arthropathy, that affects 14.0-22.7% of patients with psoriasis. It is a highly heterogeneous disease, whose clinical features often vary from peripheral arthritis, to spinal spondylitis, and/or asymmetrical synovitis, enthesitis, dactylitis. As no gold-standard diagnostic test for PsA exists, the diagnosis is based on different patterns of clinical, radiological and serological markers included in the classification criteria for psoriatic arthritis (CASPAR). Some typical features of PsA are also observed in other chronic musculoskeletal diseases, as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and HOA, determining possible delay of the diagnosis and consequent influence on the successful results of the therapies. In particular, the differential diagnosis of PsA and EHOA is very challenging, considering that both conditions can be characterized by bone proliferation and inflammation processes in the distal IP joints and lack of specific diagnostic biomarkers. In the last decade, microRNA (miRNA) are emerged as possible candidate biomarkers in different rheumatic diseases. They are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules implicated in the direct regulation of the expression of different target genes by repressing or inhibiting translation. Mature miRNA are produced inside the cell and exert their function in the cytoplasm, but also by being released into the circulation and body fluids, where they regulate both physiological and pathological processes. Specific profiles of miRNA have been associated with the up-regulation of several inflammatory cytokines or degrading enzymes involved in the pathogenesis of PsA or OA. Indeed, miRNA have been detected in human plasma and in synovial fluid from patients with PsA and are considered possible diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of this disease; very recently a pattern of circulating miRNAs has been studied also in patients with HOA. IThe aim of the present study is to test whether miRNA can help to differentiate EHOA from PsA. In detail, the investigators evaluate the expression profile of a series of miRNA (miR-21, miR-140, miR-146a, miR-155, miR-181a, miR-223, miR-23a, miR-26a and miR-let-7e), known to be dysregulated in PsA and OA, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with EHOA and PsA and in comparison to a group of healthy controls (HC). Furthermore, the investigators assess the potential correlation between miRNA expression and disease activity.
This was a multicenter, retrospective, and non-interventional study using secondary data captured in the Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The extraction of the data captured in the EHRs was performed with EHRead® by SAVANA, an innovating data-driven system based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and big data analytics. Data was extracted and analyzed at Index Date, Follow Up, or as specified for each variable.
The trial is a double-blinded randomized study that will examine whether switching to a selective IL23 inhibitor (guselkumab) is more effective than switching to a second TNFi (golimumab) among patients with PsA who have an inadequate response to a TNFi.
Patients diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) confront decisions about how to treat their disease, interact with their health care providers, and modify lifestyle choices that may improve treatment outcomes. With sponsorship support from Janssen and in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic, this survey study will seek to understand and examine whether people living with PsA are interested in and motivated to participate in wellness activities. This cross-sectional observational survey study will help researchers and clinicians to better understand what some of the barriers and facilitators experienced by patients are when considering participation in guided online wellness activities. People that qualify for the study and complete a 10-minute survey will be invited to participate in Immune Strength, an online wellness program developed by the Cleveland Clinic. Immune Strength is a free 10-week program for creating better habits for a more resilient immune system. By following this program, participants will have the opportunity to learn about how to develop strategies and implement behavior changes for healthier immune functioning. Participants will be recruited by the Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF). GHLF is the parent organization of the CreakyJoints® (CJ) arthritis patient community and primary site for the PCORI-funded Arthritis Patient Partnership with Comparative Effectiveness Researchers (AR-PoWER) Patient Powered Research Network (PPRN), known as ArthritisPower®. ArthritisPower is a subset of CreakyJoints members who have expressed interest in participating in research and signed an informed consent form to participate in the PPRN and its associated research. Any individuals recruited from CreakyJoints or Facebook, who are not already members of ArthritisPower will be encouraged to join the ArthritisPower registry research app, but will not be required to do so in order to participate in the study.
1. Evaluate serum levels of (MCP-1) in PsA with or without cardiovascular affaction . 2. Detect subclinical cardiovascular affaction in patients with PsA for early diagnosis and management .
