Filter by:Izokibep is a potent and selective inhibitor of interleukin (IL)-17A that is being developed for treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This study will evaluate the efficacy of izokibep in subjects with PsA.
The purpose of this study is to understand variation in the symptoms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis using simple, scalable smartphone-based measurements. This study uses an iPhone app to record these symptoms through questionnaires and sensors.
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, immune-mediated, systemic disease affecting less than 1% of people with variations by parts of the world, and around 20%-30% of participants with psoriasis. Upadacitinib (RINVOQ) is approved drug for the treatment of adult participants with active PsA in Europe. Approximately 450 adult participants who are prescribed Upadacitinib by their physician in accordance with local label will be enrolled in 4 countries in Europe: France, Germany, Greece and Italy. Participants will receive upadacitinib as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for up to 24 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.
A prospective, longitudinal, multicentre, observational cohort follow-up study conducted in France.
Our study aims to determine whether intermittent fasting (IMF) is a valid method to improve psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) disease severity and quality of life. Patients within OSU Dermatology with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis will be enrolled in a dietary intervention for a 24-week period. A prospective, single-blind parallel group randomized control trial will include an IMF dietary intervention group and a standard routine diet group for a duration of 24 weeks. After the initial 12 weeks of the dietary intervention, patients will be followed for an additional 12 weeks to assess changes in their disease state and quality of life after returning to their initial dietary routines. In total, the study will be 24 weeks. Baseline assessment will consist of standard psoriasis and PsA clinical parameters; evaluation will be performed by a blinded physician. These parameters will be reassessed every 4 weeks via video visit for the three month duration of the study, and then again at the 24-week conclusion of the study. In addition, each visit will assess patient-reported outcomes using dermatology-specific quality of life indices. Biometric measurements of weight, height, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio will be recorded at baseline and all subsequent visits. Dietary adherence will be assessed by virtual check-in visits, and dietary guidance will be provided and reviewed at each visit by the research coordinator. A physician or the research coordinator will be available for questions between times of data collection. The primary outcome measure will be feasibility of a larger study, which will be determined at the initial 12-week timepoint. This data is vital to determine effect size and dropout frequency for future studies. Secondary outcomes will include changes in clinical indices, biometric measurements, and quality of life indices at 12 weeks after randomization and at the end of the 24-week study. Achievement of a 5% weight reduction at 12 weeks, and a 10-15% weight reduction at 24 weeks will be additional secondary endpoints. Data for each patient will be stored in a password-protected and encrypted REDCAP database on a secure OSU server.
This is a Phase 2a study to investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of ATI-450 versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis.
People with inflammatory diseases treated with immune-suppressing medication are recommended to have regular blood-tests to monitor for potential side-effects of this treatment on their blood count, liver and kidneys. However, it is not clear that monitoring is needed as frequently as currently recommended in the long-term, with side-effects being rare after one year of treatment. A study is currently underway to determine the optimal blood-test monitoring strategy which is cost-effective but still safe. Any changes in the monitoring strategy must be acceptable to patients and the healthcare professionals (HCP) that treat them. This study aims to measure how often patients' with common inflammatory conditions on long-term immune suppressing medication attend their monitoring blood tests as currently recommended, and uncover patients' and HCP views and experiences of the current blood-test monitoring strategy, and the acceptability of potential changes to this in the future. Firstly, patients with an inflammatory condition on long-term immune suppressing treatment will be invited to complete a questionnaire which will ask about their demographic information, medical condition(s), immune-suppressing treatment, adherence to the monitoring blood tests and willingness to take part in an interview. Then, both patients and HCPs who care for such patients will be invited to take part in a single, semi-structured interview. Interviews will be face-to-face, by telephone or video-call, last up to one hour and digitally audio-recorded. Patient interviews will explore their perceptions of risk, benefits and experiences of current testing, and views on the new testing frequencies emerging from the study prior. HCP interviews will explore their perceptions of current testing including, the practicalities, usefulness, risks and benefits of the blood tests, and views on the new testing frequencies emerging from the study prior. The findings will shape the recommendations for a new monitoring strategy, ensuring it is acceptable to patients and HCPs.
This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study will include subjects with fibromyalgia (FM), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and asymptomatic controls. Participants will undergo a research ultrasound (US) exam of the enthesis of the Achilles' tendon, the medial collateral ligament at the femoral epicondyle and the common extensor tendon at lateral epicondyle of the elbow in resting conditions. The research US exam will consist of shear wave elastography (SWE) and radiofrequency (RF) data acquisitions. SWE technology will allow quantification of the shear wave speed (SWS) reporting the elastic stiffness of the tissues under investigation. RF data will be used to estimate quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters characterizing the mean intensity μ (akin to B-mode echogenicity), acoustic inhomogeneity (1/alpha), and structural spatial organization of echoes (κ) in the tissue.
Patient preference and experience can impact patients' adherence and persistence regarding a treatment, especially when switching. A number of factors contribute to this, including their beliefs, fears, expectations, and overall knowledge. This is compounded by the fact that many switched patients are not trained on how to use the new injection device. Specifically, some patients report a degraded experience with current adalimumab biosimilars (40mg/0.8mL) as compared to the originator: injections appear more painful and seem to cause more bruising. Indeed, treatment-related factors such as treatment volume or the presence of citrate have the potential to negatively impact patient experience and contribute to local reactions at or around the injection site, such as pain and swelling. Yuflyma® (CT-P17 adalimumab), developed by Celltrion Inc., is a biosimilar of the anti-TNF treatment adalimumab, having obtained a marketing authorisation from the European Commission on 11th February 2021 (addressed to Celltrion Healthcare). Yuflyma® is the first high-concentration adalimumab biosimilar (40mg/0.4mL) available in France, which makes the product similar to the currently available adalimumab originator formula in terms of drug concentration. Studying patient experience over the course of a switch involves querying patients at the time of prescription, while they are still under the previous treatment, and for the following 3 months, during which they have been able to pick up their prescribed medication from a pharmacy and have started using the new treatment. Describing patient experience over the course of a switch from another adalimumab (originator or biosimilar) to Yuflyma® would contribute to identifying significant factors which contribute to patient experience and satisfaction. Our primary objective is to assess patients' overall satisfaction with the injection after the switch to the high-concentration adalimumab biosimilar Yuflyma®, at 3 months following the initiation, compared to their experience with the previous adalimumab. - Overall satisfaction with the injection (7-level likert) before initiation - Overall satisfaction with the injection (7-level likert) 3 months after initiation
TNFα inhibitors have revolutionized the management of patients suffering from inflammatory diseases in the field of rheumatology. Infliximab remains widely used in France, and infliximab biosimilars have been routinely used since 2015 in Cochin Hospital with an interchangeability strategy validated by two real life studies. REMSIMA® 120 mg is the first authorized subcutaneous (SC) form of infliximab to be administered at a fixed dose of 120 mg every 2 weeks. Scarce information is available regarding the safety and efficacy of proposing a switch from IV infliximab to SC REMSIMA® in the subsets of patients suffering from different rheumatic diseases in daily care. The primary objective of the SIC2 study will be determine the retention rate of Remsima SC at 6 months. The investigators will recruit adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis.
