Prospective, Multi-Center, Observational, Whole Blood Specimen Collection Study in Participants With Rheumatoid Arthritis With Inadequate Response or Intolerance to a DMARD Starting a New bDMARD or tsDMARD Treatment +/- csDMARD

Study Purpose

The primary goal of this study is to assess a cfDNA-based blood test using genetic, transcriptomic and/or epigenetic information to help doctors predict the best treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with inadequate response or intolerance to previous therapies.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05936970
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

PRIMA

  • - 102 aims to predict response to bDMARD or tsDMARD therapy through analysis of cfDNA in blood.
PRIMA
  • - 102 will enroll participants with inadequate response or intolerance to previous therapies.
Participants will undergo screening and baseline visits, followed by the initiation of new bDMARD or tsDMARD therapy per standard of care. The study will evaluate treatment response and disease activity at a 12-week follow-up visit. Blood will be drawn and Clinical Outcome Assessments performed at baseline and at the 12-week follow-up visit.
