Investigating blood markers in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Angiogenic Inflammatory Biomarkers in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT05534347

This study is testing if certain blood markers can help predict how severe juvenile idiopathic arthritis will be in young patients as they move from pediatric to adult care.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate whether serum inflammatory angiogenic markers, such as semaphorins and CCN1, can predict the severity of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) by assessing structural progression and therapeutic escalation. The research focuses on patients transitioning from pediatric to adult care, examining the relationship between these biomarkers and disease severity. By analyzing blood samples and joint punctures, the study seeks to establish predictive parameters for JIA severity, similar to findings in rheumatoid arthritis.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals aged 16 and older diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis who are receiving specialized follow-up in rheumatology.

Not a fit: Patients under curatorship or guardianship, or those receiving French state medical aid, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new method for predicting disease severity in juvenile idiopathic arthritis, leading to better management and treatment strategies.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown success in using angiogenic biomarkers to predict severity in rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting potential applicability in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
