Clinical and Immunogenetic Characterization of Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) and Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)
A multi-centre observational study recruiting prospective and retrospective cohorts of patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA). The primary aim is to find genetic determinants of GCA and PMR susceptibility, in order to yield novel insights into disease pathogenesis. A subset of the retrospective cohort is also …
DANIsh VASculitis Database (DANIVAS)
The aim of this national pragmatic observational study is to investigate whether the use of new diagnostic imaging modalities facilitates disease stratification that can potentially predict treatment response, relapse risk and complications and hence guide management strategies to improve disease control and reduce disease and treatment related damage.
Visual Involvement in Giant Cell Arteritis
This observational study aims to enhance the description of the different ways Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) affects vision. The latest technology and knowledge are used to improve how we diagnose and predict patient outcomes. GCA is the most frequent vasculitis, an inflammation of vessels, in older adults. It involves large …
Studies of the Natural History, Pathogenesis, and Outcome of Idiopathic Systemic Vasculitis
Background \- Vasculitis is a group of diseases that inflame and damage blood vessels and tissue. It can cause many medical problems. Few tests can diagnose the disease, and none can reliably predict a relapse. Researchers want to study people s genes and follow people over time to see how …
One-Time DNA Study for Vasculitis
The purpose of this study is to identify genes that increase the risk of developing vasculitis, a group of severe diseases that feature inflammation of blood vessels. Results of these studies will provide vasculitis researchers with insight into the causes of these diseases and generate new ideas for diagnostic tests …
Armenian NAtionwide REGistry of Systemic Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Diseases
Longitudinal prospective multicenter Armenian registry of systemic autoimmune, autoinflammatory diseases with constitution of bio-banking.
Rheumatology Patient Registry and Biorepository
To facilitate clinical, basic science, and translational research projects involving the study of rheumatic diseases.
VCRC Tissue Repository
The purpose of this study is to collect existing tissue specimens from subjects enrolled in Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC) studies. Analysis of these tissue specimens and linked clinical data collected through VCRC studies may lead to the identification and development of a series of translational research projects. Results of …
Pilot Study to evaluateThrombomodulin to Rule Out Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) in Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Patients. (THROPIQ)
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a rheumatologic condition occurring in patients \> 50 years old, characterized by inflammatory pain of the scapular (shoulder) and pelvic (hip) girdles. PMR is most often isolated but can be associated with giant cell arteritis (GCA), a large vessels vasculitis, in 16 to 21% of case. …
Predictive Factors for Treatment Response in Patients With Newly-diagnosed Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis
This prospective study is to explore different predictive factors for response to steroid treatment in patients with PMR and/or GCA. It evaluates the association of endogenous GC suppression (plasma and urinary cortisol and cortisone) to the responsiveness of PMR/GCA to GCs.
