About this study

Official title: Routine Clinical Practice in Spain: Evaluation of the Use of Apremilast in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis, Naïve to Biological Treatment (PREVAIL Study)

Observational, prospective and multicenter study in approximately 25 sites nationwide. The investigators participating in this study will be rheumatologists specializing in this pathology.

The study will include patients diagnosed with PsA (according to the CASPAR diagnosis criteria), naïve to biological treatments, who have - following the routine practice in their centers - initiated treatment with apremilast 6 months (±1 months) before their inclusion in the study, irrespective of treatment duration.

Recruitment will be consecutive and the reason for not including a potential candidate patient will be registered. The decision to prescribe apremilast treatment should be clearly dissociated from the inclusion of the patient in the study, which will not occur earlier than 6 months (± 4 weeks after treatment start). Therefore, the choice of the therapeutic strategy will be made independently by the physician.

Before entering the study, all patients shall sign an informed consent to participate in the study, including permission to retrieve data from their medical records and to complete questionnaires regarding their quality of life.

To avoid recruitment biases and obtain a homogeneous cohort regarding treatment duration, all consecutive patients who attend to a routine follow-up visit and have been prescribed apremilast 6 months (+/- 4 weeks) before the baseline visit, will be offered to enter the study. All consecutive patients who can be contacted 6 months (+/- 4 weeks) following initiation of treatment with apremilast will be approached for entry to minimize bias in patient selection

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment persistence at 6 months after initiating apremilast treatment

    Percentage of patients still being treated with apremilast after 6 months of initiating treatment

    Measured: Up to approximately 6 months

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Demographic characteristics

    Description of the demographic at time of initiating treatment with apremilast

    Measured: Up to approximately 6 months

  2. To describe the characteristics of apremilast treatment (i.e., dosage and regimen) in patients with PsA who start treatment according to the routine clinical practice.

  7. Swollen joints count

    Change from baseline in the joints deemed tender as per joint count assessment by physical exam.

    Measured: UP to approximately 12 months

  8. Changes in the plasma concentration of C-reactive protein.

  11. The VITACORA-19 questionnaires

    are used to assess the health-related quality of life of patients with PsA in the setting of clinical trials

    was developed under a 13-country EULAR initiative to evaluate the impact of psoriatic arthritis in clinical practice . The version used in this study (PsAID-9) consists of 9 items addressing pain, fatigue, skin problems, work and/or leisure activities, functional capacity, discomfort, sleeping disturbances, coping, and anxiety

    Measured: UP to approximately 12 months

  13. Assessment of changes on affected joints

    Assessment of the changes on affected joints count after 6 and 12 months of treatment with apremilast.

    Measured: Up to approximately 12 months

    Measured: Up to approximately 12 months

  16. Adverse events (AEs)

    Number participants with adverse events.

    Measured: Up to approximately 12 months

  17. To assess the changes in patient's assessment of disease activity after 6 and 12 months of apremilast treatment.

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?

Treatment persistence at 6 months after initiating apremilast treatment (time frame: Up to approximately 6 months). 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 NCT03828045, 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 5 Jun 2024.
