Biologic Abatement and Capturing Kids' Outcomes and Flare Frequency in Juvenile Spondyloarthritis

Study on reducing symptoms and flare-ups in kids with juvenile spondyloarthritis.

Recruiting
8-21 years
All
Phase N/A

This study is about kids with juvenile spondyloarthritis (a type of arthritis that affects children) who have their disease under control using a medication called TNFi (tumor necrosis factor inhibitor). The study will last for 12 months and will include children aged 8 to 21 years. Patients will be split into three groups: keep taking the same amount of TNFi, take it less often, or stop it completely. Doctors will check on the kids every 3 months to see how they are doing. After the 12-month period, doctors and families can decide together if they want to change the treatment plan. There will be two more years of follow-up to see how the kids are doing long-term.

  • Study length: 12 months, with a 24-month follow-up.
  • Visits every 3 months during the study.
  • No compensation mentioned, but involves de-escalating treatment.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
