About this study

  1. Evaluate the levels of serum (sPD1) in RA patients with ILD and those without.
  2. Detect subclinical RA-ILD for early diagnosis and management of this devastating manifestation of RA
Read the detailed description

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that is characterized by a systemic inflammatory state that affects joints and other organs .

There are many types of RA-related pulmonary diseases. RA-related pulmonary diseases include airway disease such as bronchiolitis. There are interstitial lung diseases that include non-specific interstitial pneumonitis and usual interstitial pneumonia .

The pathogenesis of RA is multifactorial with contributions from genetic and environmental factors. (CD4+) T-cells is responsible for pro-inflammatory cytokines production and subsequent joint destruction .

The aetiology of RA-ILD may be related to smoking and other factors that activate autoimmunity and the attack of post-transcriptionally modified self-proteins, such as citrullinated peptides. Citrullinated peptide can be produced in the lungs of some patients, causing a pulmonary fibrosis .

Major subtypes of RA-ILD are defined by their histopathological or (HRCT) patterns

. Programmed death-1 belongs to CD28/B7 family and is expressed on the surface of activated T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells and Treg cells. sPD-1 is the soluble form of PD-1 that is obtained by phosphoric acid hydrolysis of membrane type PD-1 .

Programmed death-1 and its ligands are important negative regulators of the immune system. .

In RA, Persistent synovial T cell activation and inflammation may be reasoned to positive regulators overexpression, aberrant expression of negative regulators or functional antagonism of these molecules by soluble factors .

sPD-1 inhibits the PD-1/PD-L signalling pathway by interacting with PD-Ls and promotes the T cell activation .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Assiut University.

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 7 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 12 Jan 2022. 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 Salwa omar (01206889948, salwa8774@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

measure the levels of serum (sPD1)by ELISA in RA patients (time frame: baseline). 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 12 Jan 2022.
