About this study

Official title: Efficacy Of Upadacitinib In Psoriatic Arthritis And Comparison To Rheumatoid Arthritis. OPTimising IMAging For The Use In The Follow-Up Of Arthritis: The OPTIMA Study

The general objective of the OPTIMA study is to assess the time course and interrelationship of imaging (ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging), clinical, laboratory, and Patient Reported Outcome variables in patients with active Psoriatic Arthritis (any subset) and Rheumatoid Arthritis starting therapy with a Jak-Inhibitor (Upadacitinib), during the first 6 months of follow-up.

Participants will be evaluated at the start of therapy with upadacitinib and during the follow-up visits at 2 weeks, 1, 3, and 6 months post-treatment initiation. At each visit (with the exception of the 2-weeks visit), data relating to the clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and ultrasound of the affected joints will be collected according to standard clinical practice; questionnaires on disease activity will also be completed. In the case of axial involvement, a magnetic resonance imaging will be performed at baseline and after 6 months of therapy, only if required by the standard of care.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicentric prospective observational study in which consecutive patients diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis (any subset) and Rheumatoid Arthritis, that according to clinicians' evaluation should be treated with Upadacitinib therapy, will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Rheumatology Department of the centers included in the study.

The investigators will enroll consecutive patients with Psoriatic Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis with active disease and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria, from the outpatient clinic of the Rheumatology Units of the participating centers. Written informed consent will be obtained prior to the beginning of the study. All patients, in line with clinical routine practice, will undergo a standard clinical, laboratory, and imaging assessment in order to define the disease activity according to standardized disease activity indexes, at baseline and during the first 3 follow-up visits. For patients starting new treatments for Psoriatic Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, the follow-up visits are generally scheduled after 1 month (± 1 week), 3 months (± 2 weeks), and 6 months (± 4 weeks) post-treatment initiation, in accordance with international guidelines and local protocols. In case of suspicion of axial involvement, an MRI of the sacroiliac joints will be performed at baseline and, in case of positivity, will be repeated after 6 months (±1 month) in order to assess disease activity at the spine and the treatment efficacy. Regarding the Patient Reported Outcome, the investigators will assess these during the scheduled visits, and two weeks after the initiation of treatment to evaluate earlier pain and functional improvement. The Patient Reported Outcome assessment at two weeks will be administered in a paper form to participants during the baseline visit, and subsequently participants will return these during the first follow-up visit. The data for the study will be retrieved from the medical records of participants and recorded into an appositely created electronic case report form.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA, run by I.R.C.C.S Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio at 14 sites in Italy.

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 11 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 8 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Italy. 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 Georgios Filippou, MD (0039 0283502707, georgios.filippou@grupposandonato.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference between US synovitis score (time frame: from baseline to 24 weeks). 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 NCT06630715, which also lists 36 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 8 Oct 2024.
