Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of adding two questions and pictures to the validated PEST on the potential diagnosis of PsA in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO in Canada. Patients will be enrolled in the study for up to 66 days and will be asked to fill-out a PsA screening questionnaire at their first dermatologist visit. Patients screening positive for PsA will have a second visit with a rheumatologist where a full PsA diagnosis assessment will be performed. A remote 'end of study' (EOS) visit will be conducted by the dermatologist to document the patient's biologic Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (bDMARDs) treatment choice and status.
Psoriasis is one of the most common immunemediated chronic inflammatory skin disorders.
The goal of this observational study is to develop and internally validate a machine learning model for detecting flare using a digital biomarker and a machine learning model for predicting flare, in patients with psoriatic arthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - In patients with psoriatic arthritis, is a digital biomarker capable of detecting a flare as compared to clinical defined flare by the rheumatologist? - In patients with psoriatic arthritis, what factors trigger a psoriatic arthritis flare ? Participants will be requested to: - Install app on their phone - Use a smartwatch - Complete questionnaires - Collect biological material
This study has been designed to explore the clinical efficacy and safety of HS-10374 in the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis. Additionally, this study is to find the optimal dosing for the future clinical development of HS-10374.
Primary objective To evaluate the peripheral enthesitis response to upadacitinib treatment by BMUS and DMUS, in PsA patients at week 24. Secondary objective: 1. To evaluate the peripheral enthesitis response to upadacitinib treatment by BMUS and DMUS, in PsA patients at week 12. 2. To evaluate the clinical response of enthesitis to upadacitinib by LEI, at week 12 and week 24. 3. To evaluate the clinical response of disease activity by DAPSA, at week 12 and week 24. Study Design: single-arm, observational longitudinal, prospective study Population: The study population will consist of adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years old and ≤ 65 years old) with PsA according to CASPAR classification criteria, who have been prescribed upadacitinib over the course of routine practice, in accordance with the applicable approved label and local regulatory and reimbursement policies ("In patients with psoriatic arthritis, upadacitinib would be a therapeutic alternative after failure, inadequate response or intolerance to csDMARDs and anti-TNF") and have at least one ultrasound-determined peripheral enthesitis.
Psoriatic arthritis is characterized with pain, swelling and joint stiffness. These are inflammatory reactions against tendons, ligaments and joints associated with fatigue. In France, almost 93.000 people are affected by psoriatic arthritis and the main symptoms appear between 30 and 50 years old. Psoriatic arthritis may be due to a genetic predisposition involving the HLA B27 gene, or to environmental factors such as stress, physical or psychological trauma, or infection. Obesity, type 2 diabetes and hypertension can also be factors associated with the onset of psoriatic arthritis. Cutaneous psoriasis is a non-contagious chronic inflammatory skin disease, where the skin renews itself at an abnormally rapid rate. In France, between 2 and 3 million people are affected by cutaneous psoriasis, approximately 60.000 new cases every year. The disease begin in adolescence or young adulthood. There are multiples forms of cutaneous psoriasis (plaque, guttate, pustular, erythrodermic, inverse, facial, scalp, nail and mucous membranes). The main symptom is the appearance of thick red patches of varying size, covered with white dead skin. These lesions are most often found on the hands, elbows, knees, lower back, face or scalp. There is little to no itching. During periods of remission, lesions can disappear completely or partially, then reappear during a new attack, called a "flare-up". A familial genetic predisposition is present in 1/3 of psoriasis patients. Other immune and environmental factors, such as medication, irritations, sun exposure or psychological state, can influence psoriasis flare-ups. Psoriasis has no serious health consequences, but it can be aesthetically unpleasant, affect relationships and psychological well-being. Fatigue is a common symptom in psoriatic arthritis patients, and can significantly affect quality of life and work capacity. Fatigue, which affects over 50% of psoriatic arthritis patients, is a major component of the disease's impact. Fatigue in psoriatic arthritis is a much-discussed topic in the current scientific literature. Although less well documented, patients with cutaneous psoriasis also experience fatigue. Several clinical trials show that, once the disease has been treated, fatigue tends to diminish, but in some cases, the treatment itself may play a role in the vicious fatigue circle. The risk of suffering other skin manifestations despite being under treatment can often be misunderstood by the patient, leading to increased depression and fatigue. Overall, treatments are more likely to play an important role in the variability of fatigue. Ultimately, fatigue is a multifactorial symptom that can be linked either to the disease itself, or to the therapies used. It therefore appears to be the most difficult symptom to treat with commercially available therapies. As fatigue is a major symptom of psoriatic arthritis and cutaneous psoriasis, it is essential to know how the therapies offered influence this symptom, and to study whether certain therapies are more likely to increase it, despite their efficacy on joint and skin symptoms. It is also relevant to determine whether fatigue is correlated with disease severity, duration and even more so with the therapy used, to better understand the psychological impact of patients with psoriatic arthritis or cutaneous psoriasis.
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 overall objective of this proposal is to test version 3.0 of the Arthritis smartphone app in a 12-month interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) design which will allow us to observe possible differences in visit frequency between the pre-and post-intervention periods as well as between the concurrent control group and those who receive the app. Our central hypothesis is that introduction of the app will reduce visit numbers per month in the group receiving the app, compared with a concurrent control group.
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 .
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.
