About this study

Official title: Comparison of Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Spine and Sacroiliac Joints for Detection of Inflammatory Lesions in Patients Affected by Spondyloarthritis

The purpose is to compare detection of axial inflammatory lesions in patients affected by spondyloarthritis (SpA) with sodium fluoride positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the reference technique.

It would be interesting to show the superiority of sodium fluoride PET on MRI for diagnosis of inflammatory lesions. It could be used for diagnostic care but also therapeutic care of patients with early forms of spondyloarthritis.

Secondary purposes are:

  • To evaluate performances of sodium fluoride PET in detection of SpA peripheral damage (except spine and sacroiliac joints)
  • To evaluate bone inflammation (axial and peripheral) with sodium fluoride PET and compare these data to clinic-biologic parameters used in clinical practice (BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein (CRP)) and to structural evaluation (sacroiliac New York, mSASSS and BASRI scoring methods)
  • To study correlation of axial and peripheral bone inflammation (spine and sacroiliac joints) evaluated with sodium fluoride PET with biologic markers of inflammation and bone remodeling (MMP-3; DKK-1, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α).

Known biologic markers of inflammation in SpA are correlated to activity obtained with MRI. It is interesting to compare to activity obtained with PET. Moreover, it has been recently showed the disassociation of inflammation and structural progression (anti-TNF treatments do not prevent structural progression) that is associated to markers of bone remodeling whose activity is influenced by an activation/inhibition system of biologic markers of inflammation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Concordance between binary topographic evaluations of bone inflammation in PET data and MRI data

    presence or absence of inflammatory sites (MRI) or hyperfixation (PET) in 28 sites (24 vertebrae and 4 sacroiliac joints)

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  2. Concordance between semi-quantitative evaluation of bone inflammation in MRI data and PET data

    PET: BME score adapted to PET for spine and modified SPARCC score adapted to PET for sacroiliac joints

    MRI: Berlin score BME for spine and SPARCC score for sacroiliac joints

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sample, Sodium fluoride Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Spondyloarthritis, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Concordance between binary topographic evaluations of bone inflammation in PET data and MRI data (time frame: up to 4 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Aug 2016.
