Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or psoriatic arthritis who require treatment with biologics or targeted synthetic DMARDs.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are already on biologics or targeted synthetic DMARDs at the time of screening will not benefit from this registry.

What this trial studies
This registry collects data on patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis who are treated with biologics or targeted synthetic DMARDs in Korea. It is a multi-center, prospective, observational program that reflects real-world treatment practices without imposing experimental interventions. Physicians will determine treatment plans, and data will be gathered during routine clinical visits, ensuring that the registry captures the safety profiles of these therapies in everyday use.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could provide valuable insights into the safety and effectiveness of biologics and targeted synthetic DMARDs for patients with rheumatic diseases.
How similar studies have gone: Other observational registries have shown success in capturing real-world data and improving understanding of treatment outcomes in similar patient populations.
