Psoriatic Arthritis Research Collaborative: Biologic Sub-Study

Completed
Conditions
Psoriatic Arthritis
Registration Number
NCT03378336
Lead Sponsor
University of Pennsylvania
Brief Summary

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis with substantial variation in clinical features. We propose a multicenter collaborative approach to better understand the phenotypes and current management of PsA in the United States.The central goal of this proposal is to obtain the data necessary to design a pragmatic trial in PsA.

Detailed Description

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that can be associated with devastating outcomes including irreversible joint damage. The management of a patient with PsA is extremely challenging due to the high degree of phenotypic heterogeneity. The ultimate goal of this proposal is to prepare pragmatic trials in PsA trials that will encompass all relevant subgroups of patients. The aims of this study specifically focus on responses to biologic therapy among patients with PsA and determining the optimal set of outcome measures for PsA trials.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
20
Inclusion Criteria
  • Age 18-89
  • Active PsA (at least one swollen joint or enthesitis) -Meet CASPAR criteria (Table 2) (103) -Initiation of TNFi (etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab, certolizumab, golimumab) (At the time of the submission, TNFi biosimilars have been approved by the FDA but are not available on the US market. Once available, patients starting TNFi biosimilars will similarly be eligible for participation. Patients may have been on the medication in the past but must have had greater than 2 months off the medication.Patients may be taking other traditional DMARDs. A washout period is not required.)
