Overview

The primary objective of the study aims to compare the biodiversity of intestinal microbiota between spondylarthritis (SPA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and healthy volunteers, by microbiota DNA sequencing in order to further and respond the prior results, which suggested that there is a specific dysbiosis for each of the 2 diseases. A comparative analysis will allow to identify the biomarkers of the specific bacteria.

Description

As secondary objectives, the study aims to analyse the relation between different clinical parameters such as age, gender, duration of the disease, or the nature of ongoing treatment, and the the composition of intestinal microbiota, and identify dysbiosis of bacteria, which will be specific functional signatures of intestinal microbiota in SPA and/or RA.

This study will be performed in the rheumatology department in Ambroise Paré hospital of APHP group in France.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

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?
