Trial summary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), affects between 0.3% and 1.0% of the population, it can lead to progressive joint destruction and severe disability. To date, two RA genetic susceptibility factors have been identified: HLA-DRB1-SE (Shared epitope) and PTPN22 620W alleles. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of HLA Polymorphisms in French West-Indian Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis : A Case Control Study

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), affects between 0.3% and 1.0% of the population, it can lead to progressive joint destruction and severe disability. To date, two RA genetic susceptibility factors have been identified: HLA-DRB1-SE (Shared epitope) and PTPN22 620W alleles. The predictive value of the alleles for diagnosis of RA was previously investigated in cohorts of caucasians patients with early unclassified arthritis that showed restrained association between RA and HLA-SE. Despite the contribution of HLA to the overall genetic risk has been estimated to range from 30% to 50%, it has never been studied in the French west-Indian population.

Being tested
Collect of 10 ml of peripheric blood for DNA extraction

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Collect of 10 ml of peripheric blood for DNA extractionBiological

    Also called Rheumatoid Arthritis, French West-Indian Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

    After signed written consent, all patients have a clinic exam in order to assess the presence of eligibility criteria (Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis that fulfil the ACR criteria of diagnosis)

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference of distribution of HLA alleles in patients and in healthy controls

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The association between the different HLA alleles among French West-Indian RA patients and the autoantibodies production.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. The association between the different HLA alleles among French West-Indian RA patients and the radiological damage.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. The association between the different HLA alleles among French West-Indian RA patients and the response to therapy

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by University Hospital Center of Martinique at 1 site in Martinique.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 21 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Martinique. 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?

Difference of distribution of HLA alleles in patients and in healthy controls (time frame: 1 day). 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 21 Dec 2010.
