A study testing MRI in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 2 sites in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

The major aim of treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is remission. Nevertheless, structural radiographic progression is observed in 15 to 20% of patient getting remission. Numerous definitions of the remission proposed by literature remain imperfect. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Relation Between Dedicated Extremity MRI Synovitis and Structural Deterioration Radiographic in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis in Clinical Remission.Preliminary Study

The major aim of treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is remission. Nevertheless, structural radiographic progression is observed in 15 to 20% of patient getting remission. Numerous definitions of the remission proposed by literature remain imperfect.

Recently ultrasonography and MRI seem to be helpful in diagnosis and follow-up of rheumatoid arthritis.

Read more

Studies in patients with clinical remission are reporting 75 to 90% of persistent MRI and ultrasonography synovitis, 45% of cases with synovial activity.

To our knowledge, in such case few studies showed correlation between persistent imaging synovitis and structural radiographic progression.

On the other hand, no studies with extremity dedicated RMI in patients with remission are reported.

In this preliminary study, the investigators propose to evaluate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis remission and persistent dedicated MRI synovitis the structural radiographic progression at one year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice 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 5 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2011. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Christine ALBERT-SABONNADIERE, PhD (albert-sabonnadiere.c@chu-nice.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dedicated extremity MRI (hand and wrist)/ X-Ray (hand, wrist and foot) (time frame: at Month 0 (first visit) and Month 12 (last visit)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Dec 2011.
