About this study

Official title: Qualitative Study of the Consequences of Auto-immune Diseases on Quality of Life

Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE), systemic sclerosis (Ssc) and inflammatory myopathy (IM) are rare diseases, whose prevalence is estimated at 43, 15 and 10 cases, respectively, for 100 000 inhabitants in France. These diseases belong to the group of auto-immune diseases and require specialized follow-up in an expert centre. The repercussions of SLE, Ssc and IM on the everyday life of patients are heavy, and notably linked to skin involvement, to diminished functional capacities and psychological problems. The vast majority of these diseases concern middle-aged, professionally-active individuals, for whom the socio-professional repercussions are major and too often neglected. The aim of this study is to analyse the consequences of auto-immune diseases on quality of life. Current quality of life questionnaires are not suitable, and do not reveal the reality of the situation and its different nuances. In this research, the quality of life of patients will be envisaged through their everyday lives. How do these patients construct the social reality of the disease? How do they perceive their health status and their social situation? How do they organize their everyday lives around the disease: work, leisure, relationships with their entourage... ?

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?

semi-directive individual interviews in the 3 groups of patients (time frame: day one). 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 10 Oct 2017.
