Trial summary

There are, to date, no validated biomarkers or head-to-head RCTs of biologics to guide choice of biologic agent in axSpA. While there are now two head-to-head studies of a TNF inhibitor (TNFi) vs an IL-17 inhibitor (IL-17i) in psoriatic arthritis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Feasibility of an Il-17a Assay and Impact on Therapeutic Response in Patients With Active Axial Spondyloarthritis

There are, to date, no validated biomarkers or head-to-head RCTs of biologics to guide choice of biologic agent in axSpA. While there are now two head-to-head studies of a TNF inhibitor (TNFi) vs an IL-17 inhibitor (IL-17i) in psoriatic arthritis. Recommendations refers to biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) including TNFi and IL-17i for patients with high disease activity despite the use (or intolerance/contraindication) of at least two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in axial SpA (axSpA) and in failure of a strategy including methotrexate for psoriatic arthritis. A tool to help us to decide which bDMARDs to use is necessary.

In SpA, the method of determination of IL17 seems to be questionable.

The determination of cytokines after stimulation of immune cells in patients with active SpA requiring a biological treatment could provide us with a tool to assist in the choice of therapy.

The aim of the study was to show the feasibility of cytokine assay following lymphocyte stimulation in active SpA requiring biological treatment. And secondly, to show the predictive character of this expression on the therapeutic response at three months after the implementation of a biological treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. to show the feasibility of cytokine assay following lymphocyte stimulation in active SpA requiring biological treatment.

    rate of IL17

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spondylarthritis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice 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 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Christian ROUX (+33492035491, roux.c2@chu-nice.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to show the feasibility of cytokine assay following lymphocyte stimulation in active SpA requiring biological treatment. (time frame: 18 months). 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 24 Oct 2022.
