Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Psoriatic"

Blood clots occurring in the legs and in the lungs are relatively common; they occur in around 3 in a 1000 people per year. They can cause disability and are also potentially life threatening. When a clot occurs in the legs it is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. When they occur in the lungs they are called a pulmonary embolism or PE. The risk for DVT and PE is higher in people with conditions which cause inflammation. The most common of these are inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis (a condition comprised of psoriasis and joint inflammation). What is not known is how much higher the risk of DVT and PE is in these groups compared with people without inflammatory disease, and what causes the excess risk in these people. This study aims to assess the measure the exact increase in risk for DVT and PE in people with these inflammatory conditions and to identify which risk factors are most strongly associated with the increased risk. These data should help with an understand the causes of blood clot risk in these inflammatory conditions and in identify targets for reducing risk.

Pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases is suitable for eliciting neuropathic pain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of NP among PsA patients and relationship between disease activity, quality of life, functionality, and other numerous factors.

3-part study of patients with psoriasis, including 1) a population based questionnaire 2) cross-sectional clinical study with focus on musculoskeletal ultrasound and patient reported outcomes 3) 12 months follow-up study of patients with certain ultrasonic signs of psoriatic arthritis. Patients with pain: Interventional with 6 months treatment with apremilast, followed by 6 months observation. Patients without pain: 12 months observation.

This was a multicenter, retrospective, and non-interventional study using secondary data captured in the Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The extraction of the data captured in the EHRs was performed with EHRead® by SAVANA, an innovating data-driven system based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and big data analytics. Data was extracted and analyzed at Index Date, Follow Up, or as specified for each variable.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of AbbVie Care 2.0 on adalimumab's compliance, patient reported outcomes and utilization of health resources over 12 months.

The objective of this study is to access retention rate, persistence and adherence in population of spondylarthritis (SpA) (ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA)) participants treated with adalimumab in routine clinical settings in the Russian Federation.

When patients with psoriasis develop joint pain, it is often hard to decide whether or not the pain is due to psoriatic arthritis (PsA). At this time, doctors use information from the history and physical exam to determine the diagnosis. X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound have been used to help with the diagnosis but all three have limitations. A newer imaging technique, whole body Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) uses the idea that inflammatory cells take up sugar to locate inflammation in the body. Because patients with PsA have inflammatory cells in their joints and tendons, this type of scan allows the physician to take a picture of the whole body and locate inflammation. The investigators have found that some patients with psoriasis (but without arthritis) have inflammation in joints and tendons even before the patient has symptoms. In this study, the investigators will explore how well PET/CT works for assessing inflammation in patients with PsA. This would be a very exciting tool that could be used to find and treat inflammation before it causes damage or pain.

This study aims to collect Australian data on the prevalence of undiagnosed psoriatic arthritis in patients with plaque psoriasis. In addition the study will assess disease severity and quality of life in Australian patients with psoriasis attending specialist dermatology clinics.

The purpose of this study is a long-term, observational study of Abatacept in patients with Psoriatic Arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disorder.

The study is a Worldwide Survey on the Understanding of Psoriatic Disease among Patients with Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis.
