About this study

Official title: Effectiveness and Patient-reported Outcomes in Patients With Spondyloarthropathies Treated With Biological Agents

The objective of the study is to investigate extra-articular manifestations, pain mechanisms, patient-reported outcomes, comorbidities and association between these conditions in patients with spondyloarthropathy (SpA) treated with Biologics. Further, to assess the predictive value of baseline pain profile on treatment outcome after ≥ 3 months.

Read the detailed description

Patients with spondyloarthropaty, who initiate or switch biologics in routine care due to an active disease state, will be enrolled in this observational study.

The overall aim is to investigate extra-articular manifestations, pain mechanisms and patient-reported outcomes and elucidate if these factors - independently or by interaction - influence treatment response after ≥ 3 months. Patients will have a baseline visit, an eye examination and a follow up visit after ≥ 3 months. Clinical examinations will be performed at both time points and include:

  1. Clinical examination (the spinal movement)
  2. Assessment of pain mechanisms by clinical evaluation (BASDAI, tender points,) and pain questionnaires (PainDETECT).
  3. The SPARCC Enthesitis Index will be used to enthesitis count.
  4. Interview and questionnaires regarding lifestyle, comorbidity, function and quality of life
  5. Blood samples
  6. Urine samples
  7. Stool samples

Clinical as well as patient-reported and observer-based outcomes will be described for the overall study population and the prognostic influence of extra-articular manifestations, comorbidity and pain mechanisms will be analysed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index BASDAI 50 %

    Measured: ≥ 3 month from baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS)

    composite measures of improvement in disease state

    Measured: ≥ 3 month from baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spondyloarthropathy, run by Svendborg Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Mar 2019. 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index BASDAI 50 % (time frame: ≥ 3 month from baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02948608, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Mar 2019.
