Trial summary

The main objective is to evaluate the prevalence of anti-phospholipid antibodies (APLA) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The secondary objectives are: (1) To determine whether the presence of these antibodies is symptomatic (thrombosis or not); (2) Identify a possible relationship between the presence of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Study of 80 Patients

The main objective is to evaluate the prevalence of anti-phospholipid antibodies (APLA) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

The secondary objectives are: (1) To determine whether the presence of these antibodies is symptomatic (thrombosis or not); (2) Identify a possible relationship between the presence of APLA and a particular form of SA (axial or peripheral); (3) To determine whether the presence of APLA is more frequent in patients receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha therapy.

Read the detailed description

Methods:

Experimental design: longitudinal study prospective in a single center.

The Ankylosing Spondylitis Assesment Study (ASAS) criteria are: (1) age <45 years, back pain ≥ 3 months, sacroiliitis on imaging and ≥ 1 associated minor criterion, or (2) HLA B27 positive and ≥ 2 minor criteria.

Minor criteria are: inflammatory back pain, arthritis, enthesitis, uveitis, Dactylitis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, good clinical response to NSAIDs, family history of Human Leukocyte Antigen HLA B27 and inflammatory syndrome.

Plan Investigation:

Patients in the study will be seen first in consultation to gather the necessary information: history taking (including venous and arterial embolic events and obstetric history), the usual treatment, ASAS criteria of therapeutic AS, current and previous, comprehensive physical examination.

APLA will be measured at baseline and at least 3 months if initially positive.

OUTCOME:

The primary endpoint is the presence or absence of APLA: anti-cardiolipin antibodies (CLA) immunoglobulin M (IgM) or immunoglobulin G (IgG), circulating anticoagulant lupus (CCA), anti-beta2 glycoprotéine1 antibodies (β2GP1A) IgM or IgG.

The secondary endpoints are:

  • The presence of thrombosis (past or present) or obstetrical accident (anterior)
  • Relationship between the presence of APLA and a particular form of AS (axial or peripheral)
  • Relationship between the presence of APLA and anti-TNF alpha therapy

Calendar:

The expected study duration is 16 months.

Statistical Analysis Plan A descriptive analysis will be performed. The variables are described by their number and percentage; quantitative variables are described by their mean and standard deviation. A calculation of the prevalence of APLA will be made. Univariate analysis will be performed for the secondary objectives by the Chi 2 test or Fisher exact test according to the application conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing blood collection in people with Ankylosing Spondylarthritis, run by CHU de Reims 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2016. 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.

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 Pauline ORQUEVAUD (326832465 ext. 33, porquevaux@chu-reims.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

presence or absence of APLA (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 23 Jun 2016.
