Overview

This project aims to develop and validate a model of human organoids derived from patients with Spondyloarthritis, focusing on synovial and intestinal tissues as targets of the gut-joint axis. The tissue marker profile of patient-derived organoids studied by gene expression, immunohistochemistry, and cytokine production profile will be compared with that of controls in order to test for the presence of specific biomarkers.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • More than 18 years of age;
  • Ability to understand and sign an informed consent form;
  • Clinical indication for intestinal and/or synovial biopsy;
  • Only for SpA patients group: meeting ASAS classification criteria.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Actively treated cancer;
  • Severe comorbidities that, in the investigator's opinion, may affect the quality of samples for planned experimental applications;
  • Only for patients undergoing ileal-colic biopsy: history of colorectal cancer disease, celiac disease;
  • Only for patients undergoing a synovial biopsy: septic arthritis.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

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?

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