Trial summary

Aim of work: to explore the potential association between serum 14.0-3.0-3.0- η protein level with disease activity and bone mineral density (BMD) in Egyptian patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). 188 patients with RA and 192 matched controls were enrolled. The RA activity parameters were evaluated in RA patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 14.0- 3.0- 3.0- η Protein is Associated With Disease Activity and Osteoporosis in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Aim of work: to explore the potential association between serum 14.0-3.0-3.0- η protein level with disease activity and bone mineral density (BMD) in Egyptian patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

188 patients with RA and 192 matched controls were enrolled. The RA activity parameters were evaluated in RA patients. BMD was measured. Serum level of 14.0- 3.0- 3.0- η protein and IL_.6 were estimated for all participants by ELISA.

Read the detailed description

A total of 200 RA patients were invited to be enrolled in this study. Patients were diagnosed as having RA by the 2010 European-league-against-Rheumatism- (EULAR) and American-College-of-rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for RA. Patients were collected from the outpatient clinic of the Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Department, Mansoura University Hospital.

All participants underwent detailed medical history taking as well as clinical examination. The medical records of all patients were carefully reviewed. Data collection included age, gender, past medical history, current and past drug intake. In RA patients, the disease duration, duration of the morning stiffness, tender joint count (TJC) and swollen joint count (SJC) were reported. The activity of RA was measured by disease activity score 28 (DAS.28) based on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) level (DAS28-ESR) [19]. The intensity of perceived pain was assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS) 100-mm scale.

Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at proximal femur for all participants who were categorized into normal, osteopenic, or osteoporotic according to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO) of the recorded T score A commercially available human IL_.6 ELISA kit (GenProbe, Diaclone, France) was used to measure IL_.6 serum level following the instructions of the manufacturer.

Serum level of 14.0- 3.0- 3.0- η protein was determined by ELISA for all participants,

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disease Activity, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

primary (time frame: 2 years). 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 9 May 2022.
