  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult

Study population: the patients who fullfill the Eligibility Criteria

Who may be able to join

  • The patients who fulfilled the 1987 ACR(American College of Rheumatology) or 2010 ACR/EULAR(European League Against Rheumatism) RA classification criteria.
  • The age is more than 18 years old and less than 60 years old.
  • They received stable traditional DMARDs (including Chrysopidae, leflunomide, sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, eilamod) or biological dmrads (including tumor necrosis factor antagonists, IL(Interleukin)-6 receptor antagonists, CD20 monoclonal antibodies) for at least 6 months.
  • The disease is still in the active stage, which means the disease activity score (DAS28) is more than 3.2, and the elbow joint function is obviously limited.

About this study

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic and aggressive polyarthritis. The prevalence of RA in China is about 0.42%. Arthroscopic synovectomy (AS) is an important method to save the function of joint in the treatment of refractory RA. The clinical trial is to study the value of AS combine with DMARDs in the early stage of refractory RA.

    Measured: 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery

  2. tender joint count

    the number of tender joints

    Measured: 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery

  3. swollen joint count

    the number of swollen joints

    Measured: 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis of Ankle, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 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 28 Jun 2021. 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 China. 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?

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?

ACR70 remission (time frame: 6 months after surgery). 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 28 Jun 2021.
