Pain Processing in Inflammatory and Non-Inflammatory Chronic Pain Syndromes

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder that afflicts up to 4% of the general population. The evaluation of pain mechanisms in FM has shown predominant central abnormalities and therefore has been designated as nociplastic pain syndrome. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by polyarthritis and pain from inflamed tissues, consistent with nociceptive pain. FM and RA patients may utilize overlapping pain mechanisms resulting in nociceptive and nociplastic pain.

Development and Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the SMART-HAND Protocol for Hand Rehabilitation in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) frequently affects the hand and wrist, resulting in pain, reduced joint stability, impaired proprioception, muscle weakness, and limitations in daily activities. Although conventional rehabilitation primarily focuses on range of motion and strengthening exercises, sensorimotor impairments such as proprioceptive deficits are often underaddressed. The SMART-HAND (Sensory, Massage, Approximation, ROM, Training = Strengthening + Perturbation) protocol was developed as a structured, mechanism-based rehabilitation program to improve proprioception, joint stability, motor control, and hand function. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the SMART-HAND protocol in individuals with RA by comparing its effects on hand function, proprioception, pain, dexterity, muscle strength, and functional performance with conventional rehabilitation and a control group.

Inflammatory Disease Biobank for Immunophenotyping and Cardiovascular Research

INFLAME-BANK is a French multicenter prospective observational ancillary study of the international EACVI-INFLAME project. It aims to establish a biobank and perform immunophenotyping and proteomic analyses in patients with suspected inflammatory cardiovascular diseases and autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ICARDs). The primary objective is to identify immune biomarkers associated with cardiovascular prognosis and develop disease-specific prognostic scores to predict 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Secondary objectives include evaluating the diagnostic and prognostic value of immunoproteomic biomarkers, assessing the role of photon-counting CT (PCCT) imaging, and investigating immune signatures associated with genetic variants in acute myocarditis. The study plans to enroll 300 patients from French centers participating in EACVI-INFLAME. Blood samples will be collected during routine clinical care at inclusion, with optional follow-up sampling at 12 months and optional PCCT imaging and genetic analyses depending on each center's participation. Patients will be followed for 12 months to monitor cardiovascular outcomes. The expected impact is to improve understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying ICARDs, facilitate earlier diagnosis and risk stratification, identify new therapeutic targets, and ultimately support more personalized management of patients with inflammatory cardiovascular diseases.

Testing an Immunotherapy Anti-cancer Drug, Nivolumab, for Advanced Cancers in Patients With Autoimmune Disorders, AIM-NIVO

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.

Disulfiram in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent joint inflammation and systemic immune activation. Obesity is common among individuals with RA and is associated with increased disease activity, reduced treatment response, and worse functional outcomes. Inflammation in adipose tissue, driven in part by activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and downstream gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pathways, may contribute to systemic inflammation and RA disease severity. Disulfiram (DSF), an FDA-approved medication for alcohol use disorder, has recently been identified as an inhibitor of GSDMD-mediated inflammatory signaling and pyroptosis. Preclinical studies suggest that DSF reduces inflammasome activation, inflammatory cytokine release, and metabolic dysfunction. This study is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of DSF in overweight and obese adults with active RA despite stable disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. Participants will be randomized to receive either DSF (250 mg daily) or placebo. The primary objective is to assess safety and tolerability. Secondary and exploratory objectives include evaluating the effects of DSF on systemic inflammation, RA disease activity, metabolic parameters, and adipose tissue inflammasome activation. Findings from this study will inform the feasibility and design of larger clinical trials targeting GSDMD-mediated inflammation in RA.

RA-PRO PRAGMATIC TRIAL

The 2021 ACR RA treatment guideline, based on widely acknowledged low to moderate quality evidence, recommends switching to a non-tumor necrosis factor (TNFi) biologic (choose among existing medications, currently, rituximab, abatacept, tocilizumab, or sarilumab) or a targeted synthetic DMARD arm (tsDMARD; choose among existing medications, currently, tofacitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib) in patients with active RA despite the use of a TNFi-biologic. In practice, most patients receive another TNFi-biologic, i.e., a second TNFi-biologic first. This is not based on solid evidence, but on arbitrary algorithms often proposed by health insurance plans, and/or physician experience and habit (TNFis launched 22 yrs ago vs. the first tsDMARD 8 years ago vs. first non-TNF-biologic launched 17 years ago). This study will fill a critical knowledge gap by generating CER data for important PROs between these treatment options, switching to a non-TNFi biologic or a tsDMARD in patients with active RA despite the use of a TNFi-biologic.

A Study to Evaluate Different Targeted Therapies for Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease causing pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of joint function. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of targeted therapies through a series of substudies for the treatment of moderately to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This study currently includes 3 substudies evaluating different treatments in participants with RA. Substudy 1 will evaluate lutikizumab monotherapy (treatment given alone) compared to placebo (looks like the study treatment but contains no medicine). Substudy 2 will evaluate ravagalimab monotherapy compared to placebo and Substudy 3 will evaluate lutikizumab and ravagalimab combination therapy (treatments given together) compared to placebo. Approximately 180 participants who have failed 1 or 2 biologic/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (tsDMARD) therapies will be enrolled in the study at approximately 65 sites worldwide. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care treatment without participating in this study. 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.
