About this study

Official title: Frequency Assessment of Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-like Receptors A3 In Ankylosing Spondylitis And Axial Psoriatic Arthritis Patients

  1. To evaluate the frequency of LILRA3 in Ankylosing spondylitis and Axial psoriatic arthritis patients.
  2. To investigate the association of LILRA3 with Ankylosing spondylitis and Axial psoriatic arthritis disease activity and severity.
Read the detailed description

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a complex inflammatory condition that affects the axial skeleton including the sacroiliac joints and the spine (1). It also affects peripheral joints and can be associated with extra-musculoskeletal manifestations including uveitis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (1).

Axial spondyloarthritis include ankylosing spondylitis (AS), certain forms of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), reactive arthritis with axial involvement, and arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease (2).

The diagnosis of axSpA remains very challenging with years of delays attributed to several different factors. There is also a strong need to identify new serological biomarkers that can aid clinicians for diagnosis of axSpA.

Leucocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor A3 (LILRA3) belongs to a family of leucocyte receptors produced as a soluble molecule by monocytes and macrophages. (3) The function of LILRA3 remains obscure, but LILRA3 could bind to HLA class I molecules HLA-G and HLA- C (4) and may act as an antagonist on other LILRs or a soluble ligand to other receptors(5) Growing evidence shows that (LILRA3) is associated with many autoimmune disorders.(6) (7) The functional LILRA3 is a susceptibility factor for AS and axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) has not been investigated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Autoimmune Diseases, 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 0 inclusion and 2 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 23 Jun 2023. 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 Alaa Adel (+201124098363, alaa.adel27@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

LILRA3 in AS and Axial psoriatic arthritis patients. (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05915676, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 23 Jun 2023.
