Clinical Trial Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition affecting the whole joint and is a major cause of pain and disability worldwide. Although OA is very common, the initial steps which lead to the development of pain and tissue damage are not fully understood. In this study participants will be investigated for markers in the blood, joint and urine in people who have a diagnosis of osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis and are receiving a steroid injection for their condition. Markers will be evaluated in participants with osteoarthritis compared with other types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis.

Clinical Trial Description

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide. OA causes major disability and pain and places a huge financial burden on healthcare worldwide. In recent work, the gene expression profile of bone marrow lesions (BML) in osteoarthritis has been evaluated. BML in OA have a novel gene expression profile which includes genes involved in inflammation, neurogenesis and matrix turnover. The plan is to investigate the functional significance of the genes found at the protein biomarker level in studies of joint tissue, blood and urine from participants with knee OA and compare these changes with participants who have other forms of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis. A study amendment was added in April 2020 due to Covid-19. We are studying up to 150 additional participants with or without inflammatory conditions who are being treated with immunomodulatory drugs compared with participants who are not on immunomodulators. We will be evaluating the course of Covid-19 infection in people without autoimmune inflammatory conditions, compared with people who have autoimmune inflammatory diseases who are on immunomodulators. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
