About this study

Official title: French Linguistic Validation of Questionnaires for Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis

The aim is to do a French linguistic validation of three questionnaires used in axial Spondyloarthritis (BASFI, BAS-G, Dougados Functional Index).

In order to validate the questionnaires, a prospective, qualitative, observational and monocentric study will be conducted.

Read the detailed description

Axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a chronic rheumatic diseases affecting axial skeleton and sacro-iliac joints. SpA can have functional consequences, often assessed with the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Dougados functional index, or more globally with the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Global (BAS-G). If these questionnaires are validated in English, there are not validated in French. The aim is to do a french linguistic validation of these questionnaires.

A translation, reconciliation and retro-translation will be conducted for each of the questionnaires by two bilingual translators. The last version of each questionnaire will be then validated by clinicians experts in SpA. The version will be further validated by 5 patients. If necessary and if changes occured on the version of the questionnaire, another version will be validated by 5 other patients until full understanding is obtained.

What is being measured

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

  1. BASFI validity in French

    The self-administered Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) measures functional consequences of axial spondyloarthritis. The score will be validated in French if the clarity and understanding is approved by 5 french native-language patients.

    Measured: Day 0

  2. BAS-G validity in French

    The self-administered Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Global (BAS-G) measures global consequences of axial spondyloarthritis on well-being. The score will be validated in French if the clarity and understanding is approved by 5 french native-language patients.

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Dougados validity in French

    The self-administered Dougados functional Index measures functional capacities of patients with axial spondyloarthritis. The score will be validated in French if the clarity and understanding is approved by 5 french native-language patients.

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Axial Spondyloarthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 2 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 1 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 23 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

BASFI validity in French (time frame: Day 0). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04212806, 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 23 Nov 2022.
