What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence, flare-up or exacerbation of Extra Articular Manifestations in Uveitis

    Baseline will be assessed as follows: Never Present, Positive History (Not present- Complete Remission,Time since remission onset; Present- Assessment of severity using a five point Likert scale (0 = Absent (Clear for Psoriasis); 5 = Most Severe)) Follow-up visits will be assessed as follows:Not present (Never present, Complete remission) Present (New Onset or Recurrence, Assessment of severity using a five point Likert scale (0 = Absent; 5 = Most Severe))

    Measured: Every 3 months up to 6 months, then every 6 months up to 24 months

  2. Occurrence, flare-up or exacerbation of Extra Articular Manifestations in Psoriasis

    Baseline will be assessed as follows: Never Present, Positive History (Not present- Complete Remission,Time since remission onset; Present- Assessment of severity using a five point Likert scale (0 = Absent (Clear for Psoriasis); 5 = Most Severe)) Follow-up visits will be assessed as follows:Not present (Never present, Complete remission) Present (New Onset or Recurrence, Assessment of severity using a five point Likert scale (0 = Absent; 5 = Most Severe))

    Measured: Every 3 months up to 6 months, then every 6 months up to 24 months

  3. Occurrence, flare-up or exacerbation of Extra Articular Manifestations in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Baseline will be assessed as follows: Never Present, Positive History (Not present- Complete Remission,Time since remission onset; Present- Assessment of severity using a five point Likert scale (0 = Absent (Clear for Psoriasis); 5 = Most Severe)) Follow-up visits will be assessed as follows:Not present (Never present, Complete remission) Present (New Onset or Recurrence, Assessment of severity using a five point Likert scale (0 = Absent; 5 = Most Severe))

    Measured: Every 3 months up to 6 months, then every 6 months up to 24 months

  4. Occurrence, flare-up or exacerbation of Extra Articular Manifestations in Enthesitis of the Heel: Achilles Tendon and Plantar Fascia

    Baseline will be assessed as follows: Never Present, Positive History (Not present- Complete Remission,Time since remission onset; Present- Assessment of severity using a five point Likert scale (0 = Absent (Clear for Psoriasis); 5 = Most Severe)) Follow-up visits will be assessed as follows:Not present (Never present, Complete remission) Present (New Onset or Recurrence, Assessment of severity using a five point Likert scale (0 = Absent; 5 = Most Severe))

    Measured: Every 3 months up to 6 months, then every 6 months up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. BASFI (Bath AS Functional Assay)

    This is a 100 VAS with 0 indicating lowest functional limitations and 10 highest functional limitations

    Measured: Every 3 months up to 6 months, then every 6 months up to 24 months

  2. PASQ (Psoriasis and Arthritis Screening Questionnaire)

    This is an 11 item tool that ascertains self reported presence of joint pain and swelling.

    Measured: Every 3 months up to 6 months, then every 6 months up to 24 months

  3. BASDAI (Bath AS Disease Activity Index)

    This is a 100 VAS with 0 indicating lowest disease activity and 10 highest disease activity

    Measured: Every 3 months up to 6 months, then every 6 months up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ankylosing Spondylitis, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott) at 56 sites in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 9 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 56 sites in Canada. 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?

Occurrence, flare-up or exacerbation of Extra Articular Manifestations in Uveitis (time frame: Every 3 months up to 6 months, then every 6 months up to 24 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 2020.
