About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Clinical Examination and the Joint Ultrasonography in the Evaluation of Disease Activity in Systemic Lupus Patients

Arthritis is a current manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and participates to the SLEDAI composite score calculation (0 to 105). Ultrasonography (US) is a validated and sensitive tool for joint assessment. Published studies showed US joint abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with or without joint pain. Nevertheless, ultrasonography evaluations were not standardized and no study compared clinical and ultrasonography assessments. The objectives were 1) to describe ultrasonography joint abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus population, 2) to compare clinical and ultrasonography standardized joint assessments, 3) to estimate the reliability of clinical swollen joint count (C-SJC) and SLEDAI (C-SLEDAI) score versus ultrasonography-SJC and ultrasonography-SLEDAI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasonography in people with Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans at 7 sites 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 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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?

Ultrasonography record (synovitis / tenosynovitis / effusion) (time frame: Day 0 (there is only one point measurement in the study)). The study lists 4 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 4 Oct 2016.
