Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine how interstitial lung disease can be predicted over time in early rheumatoid arthritis. The investigators will study blood and phlegm samples from participants, along with quality of life questionnaires to determine if and how the presence of ILD may impact the participants… Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine how interstitial lung disease can be predicted over time in early rheumatoid arthritis. The investigators will study blood and phlegm samples from participants, along with quality of life questionnaires to determine if and how the presence of ILD may impact the participants quality of life over time.

Read the detailed description

Participation involves 5 study visits over an 18 month timeframe. During each of these visits, a recent medical history and physical exam will take place, blood and phlegm will be collected, quality of life questionnaires will be administered, and a CT-scan of the chest and pulmonary function testing may be performed.

  2. Change in lung antigen targets in RA-ILD using induced sputum

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Change from baseline for Leicester Cough questionnaire-Acute (LCQ_Acute)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Interstitial Lung Disease, run by National Jewish Health at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 Faduma Ahmed, MPH (303-398-1285, ahmedf@NJHealth.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in anti-CCP antibody test to identify the presence or development of RA in patients with or without ILD (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 6 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 6 Jun 2019.
