About this study

Official title: Screening Sensitive Protein Markers and Exploring Application in Syndrome Diagnosis of Hot-dampness and Blood Stasis Syndrome in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

The purpose of this study is to explore the protein markers and to applicate those protein markers in syndrome diagnosis of hot-dampness and blood stasis syndrome in patients with RA.

Read the detailed description

RA is one of the main disabling diseases in nowadays, which is an autoimmune disease with complex networks mechanism involving multiple signaling pathways and existing cross path. The investigators consider that the "heat-dampness and blood stasis" syndrome is the main syndrome and major pathogenesis for active RA, which on the base of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and a large quantity of clinical practice, and also examined by mechanism experiments. But the material basis of this syndrome is remained unclear, lack of high specific objective basis to ensure the syndrome differentiation consistency accurately in clinical practice. Proteomic techniques study cells or the body by all the protein expression and function, thus has the potential efficient for decoding syndrome biological basis. Proteomic techniques are the most effective way to reveal the essence of TCM syndrome. The investigators will use proteomic technology to explore the protein markers and to applicate those protein markers in syndrome diagnosis of hot-dampness and blood stasis syndrome in patients with RA. With strong clinical applicability, this will reveal the scientific connotation of this syndrome, preliminarily guide the syndrome differentiation.

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 1 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 25 Apr 2017. 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 China. 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 Jiao Juan, Doctor (01088001030, jiao.juan@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

serum and saliva protein markers (time frame: six hours). 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 25 Apr 2017.
