NCT06656169

Brief Summary

A study in geriatric rheumatology on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in older adults is described. Its objective is to compare the effects of subcutaneous polyvidone collagen versus placebo, analyzing clinical improvement, biochemical response and quality of life in people over 60 years of age. The Phase IV, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be conducted between 2023 and 2026. Sixty patients with early-stage arthritis will participate, assessing factors such as pain, functionality and synovitis with various statistical tools and analyses.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Effect of subcutaneous polyvidone collagen treatment on clinical hand recovery in adults with rheumatoid arthritis using the modified Kapandji Index, pain scale, and hand pressure strength.

    The clinical recovery of the hand in adults with rheumatoid arthritis will be evaluated by means of a modified Kapandji index, which consists of a test that allows evaluating the result of three different functions of the hand; the pain scale, where the patient is asked to observe the pain he/she feels and quantify it from 0 to 10, 0 being no pain and 10 being maximum pain; and the manual pressure force (MPF) where a maximum grip force is applied for a time of 3 seconds, with a rest of 1 minute between each repetition, making two attempts, measuring both times to obtain the best value.

    Every 15 days for 2 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Effect of subcutaneous polyvidone collagen treatment in quality of life in adult rheumatoid arthritis

    2 months

Study Arms (2)

Case group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with unilateral or bilateral arthritic hand, both genders, age of 60 years or older in treatment with subcutaneous polyvidone collagen.

Drug: Subcutaneous polyvidone collagen

Control group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Patients with unilateral or bilateral arthritic hand, both genders, age of 60 years or older

Other: saline solution

Interventions

Use collagen-polyvidone at a dose of 0.2 ml, applied to the affected area of the hand.

Also known as: Fibroquel
Case group

administer saline solution at a dose of 0.2 ml, applied to the affected area of the hand.

Control group

Eligibility Criteria

Age60 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with arthritic hand uni or bilateral
  • Early rheumatoid arthritis (\> or equal to 2 years of evolution with treatment and stable)
  • Conventional treatment based on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) alone for the disease without the use of biologic therapy or DMARDs.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient with previous treatment of the arthritic hand with steroids, previous surgery and/or some other local medical treatment
  • Persistence of symptoms and functional alterations.
  • Patients with diabetes mellitus, rheumatic polyarthropathy, scleroderma, fibromyalgia, systemic lupus erythematosus or any other autoimmune disease.
