NCT07486960
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA). This study will help find out if a study medicine called tulisokibart (MK-7240) can treat symptoms of active PsA. This study assesses the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tulisokibart in adult participants with active PsA. In this study, researchers will look at different doses of tulisokibart. Researchers want to learn if at least one of the study doses of tulisokibart works better than a placebo to lessen PsA symptoms. A placebo looks like the study medicine but has no study medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers better understand the effects of the study medicine.

Rheumatic diseases constitute a group of non-communicable diseases characterized by chronic inflammation. The most common autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myositis, Sjogren's syndrome and systemic scleroderma. These autoimmune disorders lead to joint destruction and adversely influence the human body systemically. One of their characteristics is comorbidity, since patients usually suffer also from other pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases and obesity. In addition, their treatment requires a combination of both biological and conventional pharmaceutical interventions as well as other parameters such as physical activity programs, nutrition, and the use of smart electronic devices. Therefore, the ARDs burden health systems worldwide. Apart from the physiological manifestations of ARDs, specific changes are observed at the cellular and molecular level. A common biochemical/molecular symptom of these diseases is oxidative stress. This condition leads to the disturbance of blood and tissue redox status due to the excessive production of free radicals. Given that free radicals are highly reactive moieties with strong oxidative capacity against biomolecules (i.e., proteins, lipids, DNA), they compromise the efficacy of the intrinsic antioxidant mechanisms and, finally, induce the disruption of redox homeostasis. However, there is no sufficient data linking the levels of redox status of patients with the progression of ARDs over time. Indeed, the onset and symptoms of ARDs are intertwined with the disruption of the patient redox homeostasis and the induction of oxidative stress. Concurrently, the absence of a completely effective pharmaceutical treatment emerges the need for the adoption of novel biomarkers for monitoring the severity of the symptoms and the evolution of ARDs in general. To that end, this study aims at first to investigate the blood redox status of patients with ARDs. Thus, specific redox biomarkers will be evaluated in the blood of patients in three time points (i.e., at Days 1, 180 and 360), and they will be associated with the clinical manifestations of their diseases. The ultimate goal is to clarify whether these biomarkers could putatively exert clinical significance, namely whether they could constitute an additional tool for the monitoring of the progression of these diseases in clinical practice.
NCT03410992
Phase 3 study to compare the efficacy of bimekizumab versus placebo in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
NCT05590247
Our study aims to determine whether intermittent fasting (IMF) is a valid method to improve psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) disease severity and quality of life. Patients within OSU Dermatology with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis will be enrolled in a dietary intervention for a 24-week period. A prospective, single-blind parallel group randomized control trial will include an IMF dietary intervention group and a standard routine diet group for a duration of 24 weeks. After the initial 12 weeks of the dietary intervention, patients will be followed for an additional 12 weeks to assess changes in their disease state and quality of life after returning to their initial dietary routines. In total, the study will be 24 weeks. Baseline assessment will consist of standard psoriasis and PsA clinical parameters; evaluation will be performed by a blinded physician. These parameters will be reassessed every 4 weeks via video visit for the three month duration of the study, and then again at the 24-week conclusion of the study. In addition, each visit will assess patient-reported outcomes using dermatology-specific quality of life indices. Biometric measurements of weight, height, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio will be recorded at baseline and all subsequent visits. Dietary adherence will be assessed by virtual check-in visits, and dietary guidance will be provided and reviewed at each visit by the research coordinator. A physician or the research coordinator will be available for questions between times of data collection. The primary outcome measure will be feasibility of a larger study, which will be determined at the initial 12-week timepoint. This data is vital to determine effect size and dropout frequency for future studies. Secondary outcomes will include changes in clinical indices, biometric measurements, and quality of life indices at 12 weeks after randomization and at the end of the 24-week study. Achievement of a 5% weight reduction at 12 weeks, and a 10-15% weight reduction at 24 weeks will be additional secondary endpoints. Data for each patient will be stored in a password-protected and encrypted REDCAP database on a secure OSU server.

NCT07460739
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA), including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), are chronic painful diseases that impair quality of life. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are used to control disease activity, reduce functional disability, and improve prognosis. These include conventional DMARDs such as methotrexate, as well as targeted DMARDs (tDMARDs), i.e., biological agents (bDMARDs) like anti-TNF alpha and JAK inhibitors. Patients treated with tDMARDs face a risk of adverse effects, including an increased risk of infections. Therapeutic patient education has been shown to help patients develop safety skills, but its effectiveness is only short-term. Mobile health applications are increasingly used by patients to manage their health. The French Society of Rheumatology (SFR) has developed a smartphone self-management application aimed at supporting people with inflammatory arthritis in managing their treatments, symptoms, and information needs. It provides advice on lifestyle and daily living, promotes treatment adherence, and enables self-assessment of disease status. The app includes seven features: a safety checklist before treatment administration, daily life aids based on French academic recommendations, treatment reminders, self-assessment of overall well-being, disease monitoring (pain, fatigue, patient global assessment of disease activity), periodic advisory messages, and a diary. The application is not a medical device; collected data are stored on the user's smartphone. Patient data are not directly shared with physicians. Patients can use the app during consultations or share screenshots with their doctors. The app is more widely used and has a longer lifespan than most available apps, but its impact on patients still needs evaluation in a randomized controlled trial. The primary hypothesis of the study is that using the app will improve safety skills in patients with inflammatory arthritis treated with tDMARDs compared to usual care, including access to the SFR patient information website. The secondary hypothesis is that using the app will improve patient adherence and the patient-rheumatologist relationship. Objectives : To determine whether the mobile application improves patients' ability to acquire safety-related skills in the daily use of targeted disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (tDMARDs), compared to usual care, including access to an informational website for patients. The primary outcome will be the change in the BioSecure questionnaire score at 6 months after inclusion, comparing the group using the mobile application with the group using the informational website.

NCT06100744
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a type of arthritis that happens when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Symptoms can get worse and go away for periods of time. PsA that begins before a patient's 16th birthday is called juvenile PsA (jPsA).This study will evaluate how safe risankizumab is for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and to assess change in disease symptoms. Risankizumab is being studied for the treatment of jPsA and adalimumab is approved for the treatment of jPsA. Participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to receive adalimumab. Approximately 40 juvenile participants with jPsA will be enrolled at approximately 30 sites worldwide. Participants will receive risankizumab and adalimumab as subcutaneous (SC) injections based on body weight. At the start of Period 1, participants are randomized to receive risankizumab or adalimumab for 24 weeks. Participants who respond to the study treatment received in Period 1, will continue to receive the same treatment in Period 2 for another 100 weeks. Those with worsening jPsA symptoms in Period 2 will be withdrawn from the study. Participants who receive adalimumab are followed for safety for 70 days after the last study treatment. Participants who receive risankizumab are followed for 140 days after the last study treatment. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
