About this study

Official title: Bone MicroArchitecture Abatacept in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients (BMA2)

Rheumatoid Arthritis patients management reposes primarily on the use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

Among DMARDs available in 2015, researchers demonstrated the ability to reduce synovitis, biomarkers of inflammation, and bone destruction.

Given the demonstration of correlation between joint inflammation and structural progression at each joint level as well as the opportunity for bone remodeling with resolution of joint inflammation, researchers expect to observe an improvement in bone micro-architecture parameters specifically in rheumatoid arthritis patients without remaining joint inflammation 3 months following abatacept treatment initiation.

Read the detailed description

Rheumatoid Arthritis patients management reposes primarily on the use of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. In patients responding insufficiently to Methotrexate, and/or other disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) strategies, with or without glucocorticoids, biological DMARD (TNF inhibitors, abatacept or tocilizumab, and, under certain circumstances, rituximab) should be commenced with Methotrexate. Among DMARD available in 2015, abatacept has demonstrated the ability to reduce synovitis, biomarkers of inflammation, and bone destruction. Monitoring rheumatoid arthritis patients after starting abatacept by US exams observed a strong reduction of power Doppler ultra-sonography at 3 months in two third of patients.

Given the demonstration of correlation between joint inflammation and structural progression at each joint level as well as the opportunity for bone remodeling with resolution of joint inflammation, researchers expect to observe an improvement in bone micro-architecture parameters specifically in rheumatoid arthritis patients without remaining joint inflammation 3 months following abatacept initiation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Value of joint inflammation

    The predictive value of persistent joint inflammation on volumetric trabecular bone density is measured by high resolution pQCT (peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography) after 1 year treatment with Abatacept.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 5 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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: No more inclusion). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Value of joint inflammation (time frame: 1 year). 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 24 Jul 2020.
