About this study

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic dermatosis, characterized by an inflammation of the follicular epithelium in the apocrine glands.

The hypothesis of a link between hidradenitis suppurativa and inflammatory rheumatism has been widely considered, with evidence in support of this theory accumulating from several case reports and small series. The most frequently cited rheumatismal disease thought to be associated with Hidradenitis suppurativa is spondyloarthritis.

Taken together, these data suggest that there may a link between hidradenitis suppurativa and spondyloarthritis, but literature data are sparse, and to date, no study has investigated or demonstrated such a relation. Indeed, existing studies to date were observational, descriptive, and retrospective, and did not use modern diagnostic approaches for documenting spondyloarthritis, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or the recent classification of spondyloarthritis.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that the risk of spondyloarthritis is increased in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sacro-iliac region HLA B27 test C-reactive protein (CRP) measurement in people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, 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 3 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 13 Sep 2018. 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?

spondyloarthritis (time frame: Day 0). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03668925, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Sep 2018.
