Oxidative stress in autoimmune joint diseases

Official title: Investigation of the Role of Redox Status of Patients With Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases on Disease Progression: An Epidemiological Study

Run by University of Thessaly · NCT07536529 · Data updated 2026-11-12

Researchers will see if oxidative stress and antioxidant markers differ in adults with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 or older with a confirmed primary diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis are eligible regardless of disease duration, status, comorbidities, or current treatments.

Probably not a fit

People under 18, those with non-autoimmune joint conditions, or patients unable to attend hospital visits are unlikely to benefit from or be eligible for this work.

What this trial studies

This observational project will enroll adults with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis at the General University Hospital of Larissa. Biological samples (such as blood) and clinical information on disease status, treatments, comorbidities, diet and physical activity will be collected. Laboratory assays will measure oxidative stress and antioxidant markers and statistical analyses will look for patterns and correlations with disease type, severity, comorbidity and therapy. No experimental treatments are given; the work aims to deepen understanding of molecular changes associated with these conditions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could reveal oxidative stress patterns that inform personalized supportive therapies or lifestyle recommendations to reduce complications.

How similar studies have gone: Previous observational studies have reported altered oxidative stress markers in rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, so this work builds on existing evidence rather than testing an entirely novel concept.
