This is an open-label, multi-ascending dose (MAD) phase 1 study, with dose expansion at selected doses, in adult patients with select autoimmune rheumatic diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of the study is to identify possible optimal dose(s) by assessing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and preliminary clinical response of SAR448501/DR-0201. The study duration per participant will be a minimum of approximately 13 months, including a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period of 71 days, and a follow-up period of 42 weeks. If necessary, participants will continue to have visits after End of Study (EOS) every 4 weeks until peripheral blood B cells return to at least 80% of either the lower limit of normal (LLN) or the participant's baseline value.
NCT07484243
This is a large-scale, multicenter observational study on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The study plans to enroll at least 10,000 patients, including a minimum of 1,000 cases with difficult-to-treat RA (D2T RA) and 1,000 cases with RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). Through long-term follow-up, data will be collected on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome characteristics, treatment plans, adverse drug reactions, and complications. Biological samples, including blood and urine, will also be collected. The research will utilize multi-omics technologies such as genomics and proteomics, combined with clinical data, to deeply explore the modern scientific connotation of the "disease-syndrome-symptom" framework in RA. The goal is to clarify the patterns and advantages of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. Based on these findings, a scientific and standardized efficacy evaluation system for integrated treatment will be established, and optimized treatment strategies for D2T RA and RA-ILD will be developed. The project is led by multiple national TCM clinical research centers and regional diagnostic and treatment centers, including the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of TCM and Shanghai Guanghua Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. These institutions have mature clinical research platforms, biobanks, and databases, providing a solid foundation for the successful implementation of this study. The results of this research will provide a scientific basis for the integrated treatment of RA, promote the standardization of diagnostic and treatment protocols, and ultimately improve the overall level of RA prevention and treatment in China.

NCT07268326
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of a plant-based diet (PBD) intervention in adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) on disease activity. The investigators hypothesize that if patients with RA follow a 100% PBD over a 16-week period it will lead to improvements in: \- Disease activity (measured by DAS28), including reduction in symptoms and overall improvements in health-related quality of life. The effects of the PBD will be compared to a habitual diet, that includes no dietary changes. Participants in the intervention group will: * Receive weekly delivery of food boxes which include plant-based food items * Receive a daily multivitamin supplement * Receive continuous dietetic guidance * Participate in a practical cooking class to get an introduction to a PBD * Participate in three online supervisions throughout the intervention period Participants in the control group will follow the same plan for the project visits at the hospital but will be restricted to continue their habitual diet. Thus, not performing any dietary changes.

NCT07435272
Objectives: Impairment of physical function is a core feature of RA, particularly in patients with high disease activity where pain and inflammation directly limit movement. but, Reduced mobility in RA is not exclusively driven by inflammatory pathology. There are non-inflammatory factors, including kinesiophobia, fatigue, depression, and anxiety, may significantly contribute to functional limitation and may initiate a self-perpetuating cycle in which movement avoidance leads to physical deconditioning, muscle weakness, and progressive functional decline. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia and functional outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and to investigate its associations with disease activity, pain, fatigue, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and sarcopenia, with a focus on factors relevant to functional assessment and rehabilitation. Patients and Methods A case - control study will be conducted on Two hundred adult patients previously diagnosed with RA according to ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria for RA and 200 apparently healthy volunteers with age and sex matching will be involved in the study. The study will be conducted in Rheumatology department, Minia university Hospital, Egypt. All patients will be subjected to history taking, clinical examination, and assessment of the following parameters: 1. Kinesiophobia: using the Arabic version of TSK-17 2. Disease activity: using DAS 28 3. pain severity using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) 4. Fatigue: using the Arabic version of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) 5. Depression: using the Arabic version of the BDI-2 6. Anxiety: using the Arabic version of the BAI 7. sarcopenia using the Arabic version of the SARC-F questionnaire 8. Functional disability: using the Arabic version of the HAQ-DI 9. Physical activity:using IPAQ-SF

The study consists of a screening period (≤ 4 weeks), a placebo-controlled treatment period (14 weeks), an extension treatment period (14 weeks), and a follow-up period (10 weeks), with a total of 17 scheduled visits.
NCT07416656
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the blood test Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) gives an accurate picture of blood glucose levels in patients with inflammatory arthritis who are treated with sulfasalazine. HbA1c is widely used to diagnose and monitor diabetes, but sulfasalazine can shorten red blood cell lifespan and thereby lower HbA1c values independently of actual glucose levels. This may lead to underdiagnosis of diabetes in patients who develop diabetes during sulfasalazine treatment, and to undertreatment in patients with known diabetes due to falsely reassuring HbA1c values. The study aims to answer two main questions: 1. How many patients treated with sulfasalazine have undiagnosed diabetes despite having HbA1c values below the diagnostic threshold? 2. Does HbA1c underestimate actual glucose levels when compared with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with sulfasalazine-treated inflammatory arthritis, both in those with known diabetes and those that are not diagnosed with diabetes but have borderline HbA1c values (≥ 38 mmol/mol)?

NCT05544448
Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is a critical cytokine for the survival and function of regulatory T cells (LTreg). This cytokine has a dual role in the immune system. IL-2 stimulates immune responses by acting on the intermediate affinity IL-2R receptor, IL-2Rβγ, expressed by conventional T cells (LTconv) during activation, but also contributes to the inhibition of immune responses via LTreg that express the high affinity receptor IL-2Rαβγ. This difference in IL-2 receptor affinity for IL-2 has led to the development of low-dose IL-2 therapy to stimulate LTreg and improve control of excessive inflammation in autoimmune (AID), inflammatory or alloimmune diseases Low-dose IL-2 therapy is being studied in several of these diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, type 1 diabetes, alopecia, HCV (hepatitis C virus)-induced vasculitis, atopic dermatitis and chronic allo-transplantation-related graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Some of these studies have shown an increase in LTreg numbers and an improvement in certain clinical signs. To improve LTreg targeting in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases or GVHD, mutated IL-2s (muteins) have been developed with selective LTreg agonist properties. These IL-2 muteins are linked to an Fc fragment to increase their half-life. Two IL-2 variants (IL-2Vs)-Fc preferentially stimulate STAT5 phosphorylation in LTregs compared to conventional FoxP3- (LTconv) CD4+ or CD8+ T cells

NCT02350491
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease, which mainly targets joints and results in osteoarticular destruction and serious disability. When clinical symptoms (painful and swollen joints) occur, the innate and adaptive immune responses against self antigens have already been largely amplified. This might explain that even when RA patients are treated very early and aggressively, a remission of the disease can only be obtained in approximately half of them. This proportion of remission under treatment can only be achieved using treat to target strategies involving biologics, such as anti-TNF. Unfortunately, less than 20% of patients remain in remission after treatment discontinuation. Thus, despite the availability of 5 different types of biologics, there are still therapeutic unmet needs. However, a spontaneous, drug-free decrease of disease activity can be observed in a physiological condition, pregnancy. Although most of treatments of RA have to be discontinued during pregnancy, a marked improvement, and sometimes remission, can be observed during pregnancy, with frequent post-partum flares. The situation is the opposite with an increased risk of flares in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a rare systemic autoimmune disease which generally progresses in flares-up and can affect nearly any organ (the skin, joints, kidneys, the brain, the heart, …). The course of the disease remains unpredictable for a given patient, and very few biomarkers are available to help clinicians to identify patients a risk of flares. Thus, safe therapeutic options remain limited, especially in patients with serious complications. A specific concern in SLE is the fact that the disease usually starts in women entering their sexual and reproductive life. Even with a stable condition (i.e : lupus without recent flares and no impaired renal or cardiac function) as it is medically recommended before getting pregnant, up to 40% of SLE patients flare up during pregnancy. We hypothesize disease-specific and pregnancy-induced epigenetic changes, especially those regarding the pattern and levels of microRNAs, could explain the clinical improvement and the risk of flares in RA and SLE, respectively. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms could help to identify new biomarkers, notably those predicting flares in SLE, and therapeutic targets, by trying to mimicking or amplifying micro-RNA changes observed in RA and targeting them in SLE.

NCT06902519
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug GS-0151. The study is done to find how safe, well-tolerated the drug is. This will also assess how the drug is absorbed, modified, distributed and cleared from the body (the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the drug), when given multiple times to participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The primary objectives of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of GS-0151 in participants with RA and to characterize the PK of GS-0151 following multiple doses of GS-0151 in participants with RA.
NCT03852888
Methotrexate is a key treatment for inflammatory rheumatism. Therapeutic compliance with methotrexate is difficult to measure because of a lack of objective testing; however, therapeutic compliance is essential for the proper management of a patient. The objective is to characterize the kinetics of elimination of methotrexate and its main metabolite7-OH-methotrexate for observant patients according to treatment (dosage, administration) and patient characteristics. Once this kinetics is characterized, it will be considered as a comparison reference to identify non-observant patients that is to say having concentrations lower than the lower bound of the confidence interval of the observed concentrations.
