Active clinical trials for "Spondylarthritis"

Axial Spondyloarthritis is an inflammatory arthritis disease and its main symptoms are chronic pain and stiffness, causing structural damage to the spinal vertebrae. Axial Spondyloarthritis leads to physical disability and a decrease in the level of physical activity. Frailty is a syndrome characterized by decline in physiological reserve and loss of muscle strength. Frailty can lead to vulnerability of individuals to possible injuries and a decrease in independence, and ultimately an increase in mortality. Although frailty is associated with older adults, it has been reported that it can be detected in patients with cancer, diabetes and rheumatological diseases and it is not related with age. Frailty has been reported to be a reversible and a treatable condition. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of frailty and the relationship between frailty and disease activity, physical functional level, quality of life and other associated factors in individuals with Axial Spondyloarthritis.

Susceptibility to SPA has been shown to be largely genetically determined. The objective of this study was to prospectively investigate the impact of several environmental factors on disease activity.

The purpose of this study is collection and analysis of information pertaining to pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to infliximab during pregnancy, relative to the background risk in similar but non-biologic exposed patients; and information pertaining to health status, during the first year following delivery, of infants born to women following prenatal exposure to infliximab and their unexposed counterparts.

The study is a cross sectional, epidemiology study of disease severity for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis in four geographic regions in Australia (Illawarra, Sutherland, Hunter Urban and Hunter Rural).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of Quantiferon-TB Gold (QFT-G) assay in the screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in rheumatologic patients due to start or on treatment with TNFα antagonists. The results of QFT-G will be compared to tuberculin skin testing (TST) and correlated to clinical and demographic data. The study hypothesis is that the inclusion of QTF-G in the screening strategy will allow a more accurate assessment of LTBI infection.

Cross sectional study assessing food practices and beliefs in RA, AS and DA (digital arthritis)

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between decrease in work productivity and social activities in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) with disease activity, depression and quality of life together with demographic data.

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.
