About this study

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by proliferative hyper vascularized synovitis which primarily affects synovial joints. Synovium of bursa; tendon sheaths; attachment sites of cartilage, ligament, and tendons to the bone; soft tissue; and bones can be mentioned among the other areas under influence of RA. Changes happen to be symmetrical and may present as fusiform soft tissue swelling, regional osteoporosis, marginal-central erosions, cartilage damage, joint destruction, narrowing of joint space and fibrous ankyloses. Wrist, metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints are the first sites to be affected .Over the past few years, an increasing number of rheumatologists have started to use US in the clinical setting of the early arthritis clinic. While US allows for an accurate and non-invasive multisite assessment of joint involvement in patients with RA, time for US examination is not infinite

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Sohag 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.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2024. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact abeer A abdelaal, Resident (01206290115, abeer_abdelaal_post@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

bone erosion (time frame: max 1 year). 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 NCT06562049, which also lists 3 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 20 Aug 2024.
