Trial summary

Spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) are chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, enteropathic arthropathy, and undifferentiated SpA. In 2001, the estimated prevalence of SpA was 1.5% worldwide. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Value of Tomosynthesis for Detection of Sacro-iliitis: a Prospective Comparative Study

Spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) are chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, enteropathic arthropathy, and undifferentiated SpA.

In 2001, the estimated prevalence of SpA was 1.5% worldwide. Sacroiliitis is a condition caused by inflammation within the sacroiliac joint. It is the most frequent damage of SpA depicted at imaging evaluation.

Conventional radiography (X-ray) is usually used to depict the structural changes associated with sacroiliitis.

However further evaluation often requires additionnal computed tomography (CT).

Tomosynthesis is an Xray-based imaging technology which allows reconstruction of multiple section images from a set of projection images acquired as the x-ray tube moves along a prescribed path. The advantagee of tomosynthesis is the significant reduction of radiation dose exposure compared to CT Tomosynthesis is currently used in the field of breast imaging and pneumology. Very few studies have examined the value of tomosynthesis for osteoarticular imaging.

The study aims at evaluating the diagnostic performances of tomosynthesis as compared to standard X-ray and CT, in patients with a clinical suspicion of sacroiliitis.

the investigators hypothesize that tomosynthesis is superior to conventional radiography for detection of sacroiliitis and is at least equal to CT with lower irradiation.

Read the detailed description

Consecutive patients referred to CT for exploration of sacrollitis will be included and investigated with standard radiography, CT and tomosynthesis of SI joints.

Imaging examinations will be performed at day of enrollment as follow : X-ray and CT as standard management and tomosynthesis as additional evaluation. CT will be considered as the reference standard Sacroiliitis will be assessed in a centralized, blind and randomized retrospective reading of all imaging modalities by two independent radiologists.

Diagnostic performances and radiation doses of tomosynthesis will be compared to those of standard CT and X-ray examinations.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tomosynthesis of SI jointsDevice

    All patients will undergo additional tomosynthesis performed per study protocol along with Xray and CT performed as part of standard imaging evaluation of sacroillitis.

    Tomosynthesis of SI joints will be performed on a digital Tomosynthesis system (PLATINUM dRF v2 DMS/APELEM), with a single acquisition followed by coronal image reconstruction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of bone erosions and other structural lesions of SI joints

    sacroiliitis will be assessed independently for each imaging modality according to the modified New York criteria

    Measured: 1 day of enrollment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. radiation dose

    Radiation dose will be measured for each imaging evaluation and calculated as the effective dose in millisievert (mSv).

    Measured: 1 day of enrollment

  2. inter reader agreement for the evaluation of sacroiliitis at tomosynthesis

    Inter reader agreement will be measured at retrospective evaluation.

    Measured: at the end of patients enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tomosynthesis of SI joints in people with Sacroiliitis, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 3 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 27 Sep 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Catherine Cyteval, MD, PhD (+ 33 4 67 33 81 78, c-cyteval@chu-montpellier.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Presence of bone erosions and other structural lesions of SI joints (time frame: 1 day of enrollment). 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 27 Sep 2019.
