Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate whether inhibitors of the JAK / STAT signaling pathway can increase anti-inflammatory functions of B cells in patients with RA using in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Description:

This study will first analyze the effect of inhibitors of the JAK / STAT pathway in vitro on B-cell phenotypes and functions in 30 RA patients and 30 patients with osteoarthritis. It will also study the phenotypes and functions of B cells in RA patients for whom JAK / STAT inhibitor treatment has been prescribed by the patient's usual rheumatologist. The analysis will be done before the start of treatment and 3 months later. The phenotypes of B-cells will be assessed by flow cytometry with intra- and extra-cellular stainings. The functions of B cells will be assessed by their ability to differenciate naïve T cells in coculture.
