Consequences of Anti-interleukin 6 Immunotherapy Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis on Periodontium (ParoPAR)

November 2, 2015 updated by: Nantes University Hospital

Multicenter, Prospective Study, on the Consequences of Anti-interleukin 6 Immunotherapy Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis on: - Healthy and Pathological Periodontium - The Level of Expression of Some Markers of Inflammation and Periodontal Pathogenic Bacteria in Periodontal Sulci and Periodontal Pockets

Rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis are two inflammatory diseases that share many pathophysiological similarities as some inflammatory mediators like TNF-alpha, IL-1, Il-6, Il-17, Il-12 et Il-17, RANK-L, or OPG The most severe or progressive forms of rheumatoid arthritis require in 10-30% of cases, the use of biotherapies such as anti-TNF-alpha, anti CD-20 and anti-lL-6. All these treatments results in, among other things, an increased risk of infection, both viral and bacterial.

These new biotherapies could have an impact on periodontal status

  • either by favouring sub gingival colonization of root surfaces by periodontal pathogenic bacteria and initiate periodontitis or exacerbate pre-existing periodontitis,
  • or a positive modulation of the host response by inhibiting bone resorption of the alveolar process.

To date, very few studies have been conducted on this subject which is really a translational research, involving several medical specialties.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Other: patient with parodontitis
Patient with rheumatoid arthritis and pparodontitis.
Other: oral exam and
The study will be conducted with patient presenting a rheumatoid arthritis and for which an anti IL6 biotherapy treatment is planned. Each patient will benefit a record oral exam that will evaluate his periodontal status and on a possible periodontitis associated. Bacterial samples and cytokine will be realized (in defined periodontal pocket or in the most affected periodontal pocket depending of the periodontal status of patients) before the IL6 biotherapy and 6 month after. A periodontal charting will be realized at the same time.
Other: Patient without parodontitis
Patient with rheumatoid arthritis but periodontally healthy
Other: oral exam and

Each patient will benefit a record oral exam that will evaluate his periodontal status and on a possible periodontitis associated. Bacterial samples and cytokine will be realized (in defined periodontal pocket or in the most affected periodontal pocket depending of the periodontal status of patients) before the IL6 biotherapy and 6 month after.
