About this trial

Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) are a group of rare disorders caused by dysregulation of the innate immune system, characterized by recurrent fever, systemic inflammation, and involvement of specific organs. Diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical features, laboratory tests, genetic findings, and response to treatment. Still's disease is a representative type of AID, marked by high spiking fevers, polyarthritis, evanescent rash, and markedly elevated inflammatory markers. Among its complications, macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is the most life-threatening, affecting approximately 10-15% of patients. MAS involves uncontrolled immune activation and systemic inflammation, and if left untreated, may result in a mortality rate exceeding 50%. This study aims to develop a standardized clinical dataset and diagnostic-treatment framework for AIDs based on their disease characteristics. After establishing a data collection template, eligible patients aged 18-75 years with AIDs will be enrolled. Clinical data will be collected to build a prospective follow-up cohort, focusing particularly on adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), to explore the clinical features and pathogenesis of AIDs.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Sustained Event-Free Remission

Proportion of participants who maintain clinical remission without experiencing disease-related complications or treatment-related adverse events, including glucocorticoid-associated toxicity.

Time frame
From the date of remission until the first documented disease progression, occurrence of treatment-related severe adverse events, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, assessed up to 60 months.

Secondary outcomes

1

Glucocorticoid discontinuation rate

Proportion of patients who successfully taper and discontinue glucocorticoids

Time frame
3 months
2

Time to biologic DMARD initiation

From enrollment to the start of biologic DMARD therapy

Time frame
From enrollment to 36 months
3

Time to first MAS event

Time from enrollment to first documented macrophage activation syndrome

Time frame
From enrollment to 3 months
4

Time to Onset of Glucocorticoid-Associated Complications

Time interval between the start of glucocorticoid treatment and the occurrence of the first treatment-related adverse event, including but not limited to infections, osteoporosis, hypertension, or diabetes.

Time frame
From initiation of glucocorticoid therapy to the first documented complication, with follow-up of up to 60 months.
