About this study

Patients new to a rheumatology practice will be asked if they want to consent to their blood sample, medical records, and hand/foot x-rays (with sharp scores) for the analysis and correlation with the diagnosis they will receive from the rheumatologist.

Read the detailed description

At the end of their first visit new rheumatology patients will be asked for their interest in joining the Inova biomarker study. If yes, the patient will be consented, blood will be drawn for the Inova biomarkers, and x-rays will be sent for sharp scoring. Patients may decline and will not be part of the Inova study. Patients who decline will continue to receive standard of care treatment henceforth.

Patients in the Inova trial will receive a diagnosis from their doctor and are placed into separate cohorts based upon their diagnosis. The Inova biomarker results of each cohort will be cross-correlated with diagnoses, pre-screening tool results. Baseline disease activity and sharp scores will also be correlation variables.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatologic Disorder, run by Arthritis Northwest PLLC.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Terri Cone (5098386500, tcone@arthritisnw.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The correlation between novel biomarkers and the primary rheumatology diagnosis (time frame: 18 month enrollment period. No follow-up period). 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 18 Feb 2019.
