Psoriatic Arthritis

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works alone and in combination with other treatments, such as ipilimumab, cabozantinib, platinum containing therapy, and fluoropyrimidine, in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib blocks certain proteins, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Cabozantinib is a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a type of angiogenesis inhibitor. Chemotherapy drugs, such as platinum containing therapies and fluoropyrimidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab alone and in combination with other treatments, including ipilimumab, cabozantinib, platinum containing therapy, or fluoropyrimidine, may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and advanced, metastatic, or unresectable cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of adding two questions and pictures to the validated PEST on the potential diagnosis of PsA in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO in Canada.

Primary purpose of the study is to assess the concentration of bimekizumab in mature human breast milk.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints and skin in people who have psoriasis (PsO). The main aim of the study is to know how well zasocitinib (TAK-279) works in participants with active PsA who have not previously been treated with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The participants will be treated with either zasocitinib, active comparator, or placebo. Participants will be in the study for up to 60 weeks.

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.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long-term inflammatory disease that affects the joints and skin. The purpose of this study is to check how safe zasocitinib is, how well it is tolerated and how well it works in adults with PsA over a longer period of time. Adults who completed the 1-year (52-week) treatment period in one of the parent studies (TAK-279-PsA-3001 \[NCT06671483\] or TAK-279-PsA-3002 \[NCT06671496\]) may be able to join this continuation study (also called long-term extension or LTE study). All participants in this continuation study, will receive zasocitinib (lower or higher dose), once a day (QD). Each participant can be in this study for approximately 2 years (108 weeks). This includes a treatment period of up to 2 years (104 weeks) and a 1-month (4-week) follow-up period to monitor a participant's health.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints and skin in people who have psoriasis (PsO). The main aim of the study is to know how well zasocitinib (TAK-279) works in participants with active PsA based on their previous experience with specific treatments. The participants will be treated with either zasocitinib, or placebo. Participants will be in the study for up to 60 weeks.

This observational study aims to assess the frequency and severity of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and associated ocular surface changes in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases compared with healthy volunteers. Meibomian glands are specialized glands in the eyelids that produce the lipid layer of tears, preventing tear evaporation. Systemic inflammation in rheumatologic conditions may affect these glands, leading to dry eye symptoms and ocular surface damage. A total of 150 participants (120 rheumatologic patients and 30 healthy controls) will be evaluated in a single cross-sectional examination. Rheumatologic diagnoses include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Sjogren's Syndrome, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and Psoriatic Arthritis. Participants will undergo a standardized series of non-invasive and minimally invasive eye examinations, including: * An ocular symptom questionnaire (Ocular Surface Disease Index) * Non-contact infrared meibography to assess meibomian gland loss (Meiboscore) * Non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT) and tear meniscus height measurements * Slit-lamp biomicroscopy and corneal fluorescein staining The study also examines how meibomian gland alterations correlate with systemic disease activity scores and inflammatory blood markers.

The aim of this work is to compare the efficacy of Apremilast combined with Methotrexate versus Adalimumab combined with Methotrexate

This study is designed to provide treatment with deucravacitinib for participants with SLE/SjD (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus/Sjögren's Disease) and pediatric participants with PsO/PsA (Psoriasis/Psoriatic Arthritis) who have completed their qualified parent studies and/or long-term extension if applicable.

This study is a marketing-oriented clinical trial of TQH3906 Capsules. A total of 156 participants are planned to be enrolled, aiming to evaluate the dose-effect relationship of TQH3906 versus placebo in the treatment of active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) at Week 12, with the proportion of participants achieving an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Improvement Criteria (ACR20) response at Week 12 as the primary endpoint.

The objective of the resarch is to study the cytokine profile of patients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis in order to better understand the pathophysiology of the disease and the contribution of cytokines to the presence or absence of joint involvement. This research will compare cytokines levels in sera, in PBMC culture after LPS or CD3/CD28 agonist antibodies, and in skin biopsy.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disorder that causes joint pain, stiffness, skin lesions, and functional disability, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) provide essential insights into the impact of disease from the patient's perspective. The Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease-12 (PsAID-12) questionnaire is a validated tool designed to evaluate 12 physical and psychological aspects of disease burden. The main purpose of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate disease impact using the Arabic version of the PsAID-12 questionnaire and to investigate how disease impact correlates with clinical disease activity measured by the Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) score in adult patients with PsA. Participants will undergo routine clinical and rheumatological evaluations, including joint examinations (tender and swollen joint counts), laboratory tests (complete blood count, inflammatory markers such as ESR and CRP, liver and kidney function tests, and lipid profile), and plain radiography of affected joints (hands, feet, and sacroiliac joints). Patients will also complete the Arabic PsAID-12 questionnaire and patient global and pain assessments. All assessments will take place during a single evaluation visit at Assiut University Hospital.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that frequently involves the entheses, where tendons, ligaments, and fascia insert into bone. Early detection of enthesitis is important for disease assessment and management. Conventional musculoskeletal ultrasonography, including grayscale and Power Doppler ultrasonography, can identify structural and inflammatory changes, while shear wave elastography (SWE) provides quantitative information about tissue stiffness. This observational cross-sectional study aims to evaluate bilateral enthesis sites using grayscale ultrasonography, Power Doppler ultrasonography, and SWE in patients with PsA and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The study will investigate the relationship between imaging findings and clinical disease characteristics, disease activity, functional status, and laboratory parameters. The findings may improve understanding of enthesis involvement in PsA and clarify the potential role of multimodal ultrasound assessment, including SWE, in disease evaluation.

This is an expanded access program (EAP) for eligible participants. This program is designed to provide access to upadacitinib prior to approval by the local regulatory agency. Availability will depend on territory eligibility. A medical doctor must decide whether the potential benefit outweighs the risk of receiving an investigational therapy based on the individual patient's medical history and program eligibility criteria.

The goal of this project is to critically evaluate the effectiveness of an online health program designed to improve diet and self-care in patients with rheumatological conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjogren's syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), anxiety disorders, depressive disorders and moderate depression. Additionally, investigators will assess the program's effectiveness, as well as the challenges and facilitators involved in using an online wellness program to reduce fatigue and enhance the quality of life in patients suffering from these conditions.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a chronic immune-mediated heterogeneous inflammatory disease characterized by musculoskeletal inflammation (arthritis, enthesitis, spondylitis and dactylitis), usually occurs in patients with psoriasis. The spondyloarthritides (SPs) (of which psoriasis is one) are a group of inflammatory diseases that share an association with the HLA-B27 MHC class I molecule. Given this association, these diseases are classically regarded as disorders of adaptive immunity. In bone marrow donation, HLA-B exon 1 dimorphism (HLAB leader) is associated with risk of graft- versus-host disease, relapse and overall survival after unrelated hematopoietic cell transplantation (UHCT), haploidentical UHCT and cord transplantation. In the literature, there are no studies suggesting the involvement of the HLA B leader gene in MS and RPs. The main aim of this study is to compare the presence of the HLA B leader gene between a group of patients with psoriatic arthritis and a healthy group without inflammatory disease.

To demonstrate that bimekizumab administered intravenously is noninferior to subcutaneous administration.

This prospective single-center interventional study aims to investigate the effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on disease activity, pain, quality of life, autonomic dysfunction symptoms, and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Participants diagnosed with PsA according to the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) will undergo non-invasive auricular vagus nerve stimulation using the Vagustim device. Clinical outcomes including the Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA), Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score based on C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), pain scores, sleep quality, quality of life, anxiety/depression, and inflammatory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) will be evaluated before and after treatment.

While many studies examine Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), little is known about its progression to high-risk nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in PsA patients. Shared disease mechanisms may explain the increased severity in PsA. This study involves two visits from PsA patients with NAFLD and active disease signs (e.g., swollen joint, enthesitis, or psoriatic plaque). It aims to assess the impact of biological therapies on liver disorders, joints, and skin in PsA patients.

HIPPOCRATES is an Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) funded EU Consortium established to address key unmet clinical needs in psoriatic disease. As part of the project, the HIPPOCRATES Prospective Observational Study (HPOS) is a study of patients with psoriasis which is recruiting across Europe. The study is led by a research team at University of Oxford and supported by a team at University College Dublin. This current study aims to identify people with psoriasis who are at risk of developing psoriatic arthritis. Up to one-third of patients with psoriasis will develop a related arthritis causing inflammation in the joints and tendons. The investigators want to identify which patients will develop arthritis with the long-term and ambitious aim of trying to prevent the development of arthritis before it occurs. The HPOS study is currently recruiting/approaching adults with psoriasis and asking study participants to complete questionnaires every 6 months via a dedicated study website. The questionnaires include a 'screening questionnaire' to try to identify arthritis. Adults with psoriasis but without a pre-existing diagnosis of PsA are currently being recruited via clinics, national and international patient support organisations including those under the umbrella of EUROPSO, and media campaigns. Participants are recruited across Europe in the following countries: UK, Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Switzerland, Poland and Romania. The University of Oxford is the sponsor for the study across all countries, but local regulations will be followed, and local ethical approval has been sought for each different country. Data is requested from participants every 6 months and they will be prompted by email. Likewise, the iPROLEPSIS consortium is a Horizon Europe funded consortium investigating digital biomarkers in PsA. In 2024, the consortium launched a study recruiting 600 patients with PsA across 4 counties, utilising digital biomarkers to identify disease flares. This includes the use of smartwatches, a mobile phone app and active video tests. This will allow us to develop algorithms to identify active disease. Similar approaches are proposed for a study called the Inflammation Digital Biomarkers Study (IDBV) which will try to identify the onset of PsA in people living with psoriasis. Patients in HPOS who have given consent to be contacted about additional studies, will be offered the opportunity to join this study. They will complete an additional consent form and will download the miPROLEPSIS lite app to their mobile phone. The Study app will passively collect data from the user's phone; participants do not need to perform any specific tasks apart from some initial configuration steps like logging in and connecting their wearables (Connecting a wearable is optional). The investigators intend to run IDBV as a sub-study in HPOS and invite participants enrolled into the HPOS study who do not have a diagnosis of PsA.

This study learn how easily patients can use an educational tool that will be created for patients with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune diseases who receive or will receive immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs. Patients will be asked their opinions about the design, accessibility, and content of the tool. Researchers will use the information collected to improve the educational materials that will help patients make future decisions about their treatment.

CARTIZ is a prospective observational clinical registry of adults in Mexico receiving tirzepatide (a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist) under an independent clinical indication - typically type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, renal protection, metabolic hypertension, or associated off-label metabolic use. The registry is entirely observational: CARTIZ does not initiate, modify, interrupt, or supply tirzepatide, and does not dictate dose, route, or duration. All pharmacological exposure decisions are made by the treating physician independently of study participation. The registry is operationalized through a four-institute architecture integrating three Mexican National Institutes of Health and one national imaging laboratory. Core 1 (Knee Cartilage Imaging, Ci3M UAM-Iztapalapa) performs bilateral 3T MRI with quantitative T2 mapping at Week 0 and Week 52. Core 2 (Cardiac Imaging, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez) performs non-contrast cardiac computed tomography for radiomic phenotyping of epicardial adipose tissue at Week 0 and Week 52 under cardiovascular Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Erick Alexánderson Rosas. Core 3 (HLA Typing, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, Transplant Department) performs Class I and Class II HLA typing by PCR-SSO Reverse Luminex. Core 4 (Body Composition, Universidad La Salle México) performs multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (seca mBCA) at six longitudinal timepoints capturing visceral adipose tissue trajectory, phase-angle trajectory, appendicular skeletal muscle mass, and hydration ratios at zero marginal cost. The registry enrolls n=30 patients across three clinical sites with identical protocol (IMSS Clínica Río Magdalena, INCMNSZ outpatient clinic, and a private practice site in Mexico City), generating 60 evaluable knees and 30 paired cardiac CT studies. The primary co-endpoints address a mechanistic question no other tirzepatide study is positioned to answer: whether the articular response to tirzepatide in inflammatory arthropathy precedes and mechanistically precedes weight loss, through formal mediation analysis of Week-4 ACR20 response via high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, SERPINB2, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 activity, restricted to the Mechanistic Analysis Set of patients with tirzepatide exposure ≤16 weeks at Week 0 and delta-BMI \<1.0 kg/m² through Week 4. A prespecified Surgical Tissue Subcohort is declared at initial registration to establish public scientific priority on direct human epicardial adipose tissue transcriptomic characterization under dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonism. Subcohort participants who undergo clinically indicated cardiac surgery at INCar during follow-up (coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement, or combined procedures) are invited to provide specific additional informed consent for collection of epicardial adipose tissue fragments routinely excised during operative access and otherwise discarded as surgical waste. Operational launch is contingent on separate INCar tissue-specific approvals and will proceed via PRS record amendment when ready

Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) most often affect young patients and have high impact on morbidity and mortality with a significant alteration in the quality of life of patients with professional, social and emotional repercussions. Beyond this burden, IMIDs share many common pathophysiological mechanisms and treatments, known as "targeted therapies". Despite progress in this field, much remains to be done in clinical, therapeutic and fundamental research to address the efficacy, resistance and side-effects of treatment. These similarities between IMIDs have led the FHU IMMINeNT to propose the creation of a prospective, multidisciplinary clinical-biological database (IMMINeNT cohort), associated to a biobank, of patients with IMIDs. The main objectives of this database will be to identify new prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers in order to develop new therapeutic targets and biomarkers, to identify prognostic factors and determinants related to the activity, severity and quality of life of patients with IMIDs as well as to the response and tolerance to treatment.
