Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with rheumatoid polyarthritis as defined by the ACR-EULAR 2010 criteria, treated orally or subcutaneously with MTX for at least 3 months being followed in the rheumatology department of Montpellier, Toulouse, Bordeaux or Nîmes hospitals.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patient must have given their free and informed consent and signed the consent form
  • The patient must be a member or beneficiary of a health insurance plan
  • The patient is at least 18 years old
  • The patient has rheumatoid polyarthritis as defined by the ACR-EULAR 2010 criteria, treated orally or subcutaneously with MTX for at least 3 months with a stable (unchanged) dosage for at least 1 month, and a stable (unchanged) route of administration for at least 1 month. And no planned change in Methotrexate intake at least until the second study visit. Other treatments at the same time are authorized

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The subject is participating in an interventional study, or is in a period of exclusion determined by a previous study
  • The subject refuses to sign the consent
  • It is impossible to give the subject informed information
  • The patient is under safeguard of justice or state guardianship
  • The subject has a contraindication to taking methotrexate (including a patient with a desire to become pregnant).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
