研究概览

简要总结

The study is designed to learn more about the causes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). People who get RA have elevated protein markers called autoantibodies in their blood years before initial symptoms of arthritis. The goal of this study is to learn more about how autoantibodies in RA might be related to inflammation in the lungs.

详细描述

The Specific Aims of This Study Are As Follows:

  1. Identify whether sputum anti-CCP predicts incident RA
  2. Determine the effect of inflammatory cytokines on the induction of NETosis in sputum neutrophils
  3. Determine the role of sputum macrophage phagocytosis in NET clearance <br> The knowledge gained from this study will improve the overall understanding of the development of RA. It is anticipated that these findings will improve the field's understanding of how best to screen for RA risk and target RA prevention. This study could support future lung-targeted prevention strategies for RA that could avoid the administration of systemic toxic therapies. Such potential prevention interventions could be implemented in subjects at risk for RA in order to prevent the irreversible joint damage that can occur in the later stages of clinically-apparent RA.

  • No evidence of inflammatory arthritis on clinical examination AND
  • At elevated risk for RA based on familial or serologic risk
  • Familial risk includes having a first degree relatives (FDRs) with RA
  • Serologic risk includes asymptomatic serum ACPA positivity
  • Healthy Controls :
  • No history of RA
  • No FDRs with RA
  • No systemic use of immunosuppressants for autoimmune disease
  • RA Diagnosis:
  • Classified RA by 1987 ACR and/or 2010 ACR/EULAR RA classification criteria (confirmed by medical chart review) OR
  • Diagnosed with RA by a board-certified rheumatologist (confirmed by medical chart review)

研究组 & 干预措施

At-Risk (N=180)

  1. No evidence of inflammatory arthritis on clinical examination AND
  2. At elevated risk for RA based on familial or serologic risk
  • Familial risk includes having a first degree relatives (FDRs) with RA

Healthy Controls (N=120)

  1. No history of RA
  2. No FDRs with RA
  3. No systemic use of immunosuppressants for autoimmune disease

Participants will return for 1 follow-up visit, approximately 1 year after their baseline visit.

结局指标

主要结局

Sputum anti-CCP antibodies predicting incident RA

时间窗: 1-3 years per participant (depending on group); study visits x1 per year, with option for 3 additional visits over 1 year for a subgroup of participants.

\*Sputum anti-CCP antibodies every year for 3 years (subjects At-Risk for RA); to identify whether sputum anti-CCP predicts incident RA

次要结局

  • The role of sputum macrophage phagocytosis in NET clearance(1-3 years / participant; At-Risk Group: Baseline Visit & 2 Follow-up Annual Visits (w/ potential to have 3 additional visits in 1 year); Healthy Controls & RA Diagnosed: Baseline Visit & 1 Follow-up Visit, approximately 1 year later)
  • Effect of inflammatory cytokines on the induction of NETosis in sputum neutrophils(1-3 yrs / participant; At-Risk Group: Baseline Visit & 2 Follow-up Annual Visits (w/ potential to have 3 additional visits in 1 year); Healthy Controls & RA Diagnosed: Baseline Visit & 1 Follow-up Visit, approximately 1 year later)
