NCT03011242

Brief Summary

The Investigators will examine if DC-STAMP can serve as an early marker of TNFi response in PsA. Identification of such a biomarker would permit rapid transition to a new agent, a major treatment advance. TNFi are the most effective therapies in PsA, however, methotrexate is frequently initiated early in the disease course based on its significantly lower cost. Unfortunately, the efficacy of MTX has not been supported in clinical trials and up to 40% of patients do not respond to TNFi therapy. Moreover, valid biomarkers to predict MTX or TNFi responses are currently unavailable. This study may also provide the first data on the comparative efficacy of MTX and TNFi using clinical, Ultrasound (US) and biomarker outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessing the Change of DC-STAMP as an early TNFi response biomarker.

    The Investigators will analyze the change in DC-STAMP expression from baseline to 2 weeks using flow cytometry.

    Baseline to 2 weeks of standard of care treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessing the Change of Clinical Response at 16 weeks.

    Baseline to 16 weeks of standard of care treatment

Study Arms (3)

Longitudinal Cohort: Psoriatic Arthritis

Individuals diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis starting standard of care treatment with a TNFi or non-biologic DMARD.

Assay Development: Healthy or Psoriatic Arthritis

Individuals that are healthy or with a diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis will be enrolled for blood draws for assay development and/or for an ultrasound for development of techniques and scoring system validation.

Cross-Sectional: Psoriatic Arthritis

Individuals diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis in good disease state on stable non-biologic DMARDS or on stable TNFi.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Male and female subjects that are 18 years old and older. Due to the demographic distribution of the disease the investigators expect all or nearly all subjects to be caucasian, however no subjects will be excluded based on race or ethnic origin.

You may qualify if:

  • Ability to provide written informed consent.
  • Subjects can be of either gender but must be at least 18 years old.
  • Subjects with PsA should fulfill CASPAR criteria.
  • Longitudinal: Patients with active PsA who will be starting a TNFi or non-biologic DMARD treatment (Subjects starting non-biologic DMARDS can have their blood drawn within the first few days of starting therapy).
  • Additional Blood Draw: Positive DC-STAMP signal at baseline
  • Cross-Sectional: Patients on stable DMARDS or TNFi for more than 16 weeks.
  • Healthy Subjects: Healthy controls should have no active systemic disorders or inflammatory conditions that would confound the results of the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Unable to donate blood because of poor venous access or intolerance of phlebotomy.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Samples of any type collected at the University of Rochester may be shared with researchers at other institutions. Subjects will be made aware of this in the informed consent form.

Time Frame
Once a subject signs the consent form to allow for sharing, if any samples remain after all tests are completed, the samples will be stored for future research indefinitely or until the subject cancels consent to share.
Access Criteria
Investigators at other collaborating institutions may have access to leftover samples and data. Data will not include any information that is identifying.
