PADIRRA: Prediction of Abatacept Discontinuation Using Test Reflecting Immunological Remission in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to identify a panel of immunological molecular and cellular biomarkers able to predict the success of major dose-reduction or discontinuation of abatacept in rheumatoid arthritis patients

Detailed Description
Parameters studied at different time points (before initiation of abatacept if sample is available in our biocollection; prior to dose tapering; prior to discontinuation) ACPA (anti-citrullinated proteins antibodies) repertoire
-IgG (Immunoglobulins G) and/or IgA auto-antibodies repertoire directed against major epitopes of well-known autoantigens
B cell repertoire B cell repertoire and transcriptome of regulatory B lymphocytes, memory B cells and B cells targeting specific autoantigens.
Analysis of type I interferon signature Expression levels of 7 type I interferon (IFN) response genes will be determined to calculate on type I IFN score

Primary Outcome Measures
- relapse [from date of inclusion until the date of documented flare assessed up to 24 months]
Increase of DAS(Disease Activity Score)28 ESR (or CRP) > 3.2 at 2 consecutive time points.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (> pr = 18 years) fulfilling the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria
-
Associated to high levels (> 3 x upper limit of normal in UA/ml) of ACPA measured by the usual anti-CCP(cyclic citrullinated proteins)2 test at the start of abatacept treatment
-
Receiving IV (intravenous) or SC (subcutaneous) abatacept alone or in combination with a conventional Disease Modyfying AntiRheumatic Drugs (cDMARD) (methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalasin in monotherapy or in combination) according to the usual scheme or in tapering phase
-
Without intra-articular injections of corticosteroids during the last 6 months prior to down-titration of abatacept
-
Having discontinued corticosteroids at he time of entrance in the study
-
In deep remission (Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 ESR (or CRP) < 2.6 without clinical synovitis) since at least 1 year
-
In sonographic remission at the time of enrollment (absence of PD (Power Doppler)-positive synovitis on 28 joints defined by a score < 2 on a 0-3 semi-quantitative scale for each joint)
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Age < 18 years
-
RA negative for ACPA (anti-citrullinated proteins antibodies) or not fulfilling ACR/EULAR criteria
-
Abatacept discontinuation due to serious adverse event, loss of efficacy or pregnancy project
