Filter by:Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory pathologies whose progression over time is poorly defined, and in particular the clinical and instrumental elements that can predispose to a condition of disease severity are not completely known. It would be important to have an idea of what the predisposing factors are, possibly already at baseline, and possibly also at follow up, of severe disease, so as to be able to act early with more aggressive and targeted therapies on these patients, so as to achieve remission.
The aim of the SALT study is to analyze the relationship between dietary sodium intake and disease activity in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (radiographic or non-radiographic) or psoriatic arthritis.
Axial Spondylarthritis (ax-SpA) is an important cause of inflammatory back pain in young adults. Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) has been approved for treatment of ax-SpA. Tofacitinib and baricitinib are drugs from same family (JAKi). Baricitinib is relatively less expensive than Tofacitinib. The goal of this non-inferiority clinical trial is to learn about the efficacy of baricitinib in refractory axial spondyloarthritis ( ax-SpA) and to compare its effect with that of tofacitinib. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is baricitinib 4 mg effective in refractory ax-SpA? 2. Is baricitinib non-inferior to tofacitinib in refractory ax-SpA? Participants (treatment group, 92 patients) will be treated with baricitinib 2 mg twice daily for 12 weeks. Ninety two patients getting tofacitinib 10 mg/day (comparison group) will be taken as historical control from another study on the efficacy of tofacitinib in refractory ax-SpA?
The relationship between exposure to air pollution and spondyloarthritis (SpA) has been poorly studied. Based on data from the literature on other inflammatory pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis, we hypothesize that there is a relationship between exposure to air pollution and the risk of presenting a flare-up in SpA patients following and living in Franche-Comté (France). Primary objective:The potential relationship between exposure to air pollution (nitrogen dioxide, fine particles with a diameter of less than 10 or 2.5 microns and Ozone) and the onset of a spondyloarthritis flare-up will be explored in patients with this pathology.
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.
This registry is a multi-center, prospective, longitudinal, observational program that will gather and analyse data on participants treated with infliximab, golimumab, golimumab Intravenous (I.V) or ustekinumab. Treatment will be prescribed by the physician according to actual clinical practice or standard of care for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) , Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA); there will be no randomized assignments to treatment. At baseline and approximately every 6 months thereafter, information will be collected to assess safety, clinical outcomes, quality of life, comorbidities, pharmacoeconomics and treatment regimens among cohorts of participants receiving infliximab, golimumab, golimumab I.V or ustekinumab for the treatment of RA, AxSpA and PsA.
