About this study

Official title: Incidence of Sacro-Iliac Joint Anomalies on MRI in Women Aged From 18 to 50 Years Old

Prospective multicenter study assessing the incidence of inflammatory and structural lesions seen on MRI of the SI joints in a consecutive population of women aged 18-50 years old.

The study hypothesis is SpA may be misdiagnosed on MRI in post partum women due to increased stress on the joint following pregnancy and childbirth, as MRI of the SI joints may show lesions that could mimics axial spondyloarthritis. The primary objective of this study is to determine the incidence of SI lesions seen at MRI in women. The secondary objectives are to compare the incidence and pattern of MRI inflammatory and structural lesions of the SI joints and to determine the factors associated with inflammatory or structural changes of the SI joints in a population of women. the investigators will especially compare the population of women within a year after childbirth versus the population of women who never gave birth or who gave birth over 24 months ago or more.

Read the detailed description

500 women aged of 18 to 50 years old, including 100 women who gave birth within the year, referred to the Imaging department for pelvic MRI for the exploration of pelvic or gynecologic pathology will be recruited consecutively.

MRI will be performed on a 1.5 T MRI according to standardized exploration of the pelvis and will include axial T1-weighted sequences and T2STIR (or T2 fat sat or T2 Dixon) of maximum 6 mm thickness .

An additional Axial STIR sequence may be added as part of the research (duration 3 minutes), if the standard protocol does not include any STIR, T2 fat sat T2 or T2 Dixon sequence.

SI lesions will be assessed in a centralized randomized and independent review of all MR images by 2 musculoskeletal radiologists according to ASAS criteria.

Patients will complete a standardized questionnaire on the day of MRI to collect the following data : patient's and family history of chronic inflammatory disease, number and date of pregnancies, practice of sports, back pain, joint pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of MRI inflammatory and structural lesions of the sacroiliac joints (including pubic symphysis) in the population of women who gave birth within the past 12 months.

    MRI Lesions will be analyzed according to ASAS criteria. Inflammatory lesions will be evaluated on STIR (or T2 fat sat or T2 dixon) sequences.

    Structural lesions will be evaluated on T1 weighted sequences

    Measured: Time of MRI (within the year following childbirth or pregnancy)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Morphological analysis of sacroiliac lesions in women aged from 18-50 years old.

    Morphological analysis will evaluate erosion, fat, condensation, bone marrow edema using a 3 point scale (0-mild-high) for their number or extension.

    Measured: Time of MRI

  2. Topographical analysis of sacroiliac lesions in women aged from 18-50 years old.

    Topographical analysis will assess the location : Iliac versus sacral, superior vs medial vs inferior, anterior vs posterior, pubic symphysis

    Measured: Time of MRI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Women (Between 18 to 50 Years Old) and Sacro-iliac Joints, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 30 May 2024. 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?

Presence of MRI inflammatory and structural lesions of the sacroiliac joints (including pubic symphysis) in the population of women who gave birth within the past 12 months. (time frame: Time of MRI (within the year following childbirth or pregnancy)). 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 NCT02956824, 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 30 May 2024.
