About this study

Official title: Discordance Dans l'évaluation d'Activité de la Polyarthrite Rhumatoide

Patients and physicians often differ in their perceptions of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity, as quantified by the patient's global assessment (PGA) and by the evaluator's global assessment (EGA).

The objectives of this study were:

Read more
  1. to explore the extent and reasons for the discordance between patients and physicians in their perception of RA disease activity
  2. to determine if this discordance at baseline is associated with RA outcomes at 1 year (remission, function and structure) in early arthritis (EA) in daily clinical practice.
  • Patients: from the French cohort of early arthritis (EA) ESPOIR³ (at least 2 swollen joints for less than 6 months, DMARD naïve), fulfilling the ACR-EULAR criteria for RA at baseline

Analysis: At baseline, agreement between PGA and EGA (Bland-Altman plot) was assessed. Multivariate linear regression was used to determine the patient and EA features independently associated with discordance (calculated as PGA - EGA). Logistic regression was used to analyze discordance as│PGA - EGA│≥20.

Multivariate logistic models were used to determine if discordance at baseline is associated with remissions (Boolean, SDAI and DAS28), functional stability (HAQ≤0.5 and deltaHAQ≤0.25) and absence of radiographic progression (delta Sharp score<1) after 1 year of follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient's global assessment

    The discordance between the patient's and the evaluator's global assessment will be calculated.

    Measured: day 0

  2. Evaluator's global assessment

    The discordance between the patient's and the evaluator's global assessment will be calculated.

    Measured: day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 25 Apr 2019. 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?

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?

Patient's global assessment (time frame: day 0). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2019.
