About this study

Official title: DOES ETANERCEPT INFLUENCE TWEAK MODULATION OF INFLAMMATION DURING INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISMS (PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS)?

TWEAK (TNF weakly inducer of apoptosis) is a type II-transmembrane protein, member of the TNF ligand superfamily that can be cleaved to function as a soluble cytokine. Depending on target cell type, TWEAK triggers multiple cellular responses ranging from modulation of inflammation to cell death when it binds to its main receptor, Fn 14. Our team has been the first to describe pro-inflammatory effects of TWEAK during central nervous system inflammation. Various data support the possibility that TWEAK produced by synovial macrophages may contribute to chronic synovitis in animal models and in humans. In psoriatic arthritis (PsoA), anti-TNF therapy has been successful concording with the key role of TNF in the pathogenesis of this disease and the generation by psoriatic patients of neutralizing anti-TNF autoantibodies referred as "beneficial autoimmunity to pro-inflammatory mediators". In 2010, Van Kuijk et al. have described a high expression of TWEAK in the inflammatory synovial of PsoA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients before and after anti-TNF therapy. The role of TNF-alpha in the regulation of TWEAK expression remains unclear.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing etanercept Treatment in people with Inflammatory Rheumatism and Psoriatic Arthritis, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 9 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 10 Sep 2015. 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

serum levels of soluble TWEAK (time frame: 42 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02164214, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Sep 2015.
