Trial summary

The high resolution chest scan is the gold standard for the screening of interstitial lung disease, but this remains an onerous examination, and irradiating. Ultrasound could be used to detect these disorders with a very good sensitivity and specificity. Read more about this study

About this study

The high resolution chest scan is the gold standard for the screening of interstitial lung disease, but this remains an onerous examination, and irradiating.

Ultrasound could be used to detect these disorders with a very good sensitivity and specificity. This exam offers the advantage of being non radiating, inexpensive, and accessible to the rheumatologist who already uses it in their daily practice.

The investigators want to assess the lung ultrasound performance compared with the gold standard.

Patients will be included during a regular follow-up consultation with their referent rheumatologist. If there is an indication of first line biotherapy or targeted therapy the doctor will propose to the patient to participate in the study, give him the information leaflet, collect orally non-opposition, and will complete a survey for evaluation of the general health and potential risk factors for interstitial lung.

What participants receive

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

  • Lung sonographyOther

    Realization of a lung sonography with scoring of the number of B-lines exploring 14 intercostal spaces.

    Duration of the exam : twenty minutes. Recording for a second analysis by another lung specialist.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensibility and specificity of the lung sonography for interstitial lung disease screening in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

    To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of pulmonary ultrasound compared to CT scans in patients with rheumatoid arthritis consulting at the Lyon South Hospital Centre or the Edouard Herriot Hospital for the start-up of biotherapy or targeted therapy. (CT : computerized tomography)

    Measured: Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Lung Diseases, Interstitial, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 10 Oct 2024. 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?

Sensibility and specificity of the lung sonography for interstitial lung disease screening in rheumatoid arthritis patients. (time frame: Month 12). 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 10 Oct 2024.
