Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

There is only one arm in this trial. Please see interventions for more detailed descriptions.

History and Physical Exam

Intervention Type OTHER

The physical exam includes vital signs and ECOG performance status.

Grip Strength Measurement

Intervention Type OTHER

A hand grip strength test will be used to measure and compare baseline and post-AI treatment forearm muscle strength in each hand.

Surveys

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Self-administered surveys including Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index, CES-D, FACIT-F, PSQI, GAD7, number of minutes of morning stiffness, and questions pertaining to vasomotor symptoms will be used in this study to assess for presence, severity, characteristics, and associations of AI-associated musculoskeletal symptoms.

Blood Collection

Intervention Type OTHER

A set of blood markers will be assayed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.

Ultrasound of Hand/Wrist

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

An inflammatory arthritis ultrasound scoring method similar to the RAMRIS scoring system used in rheumatoid arthritis, will evaluate joints in the most affected hand and wrist at 6 months.
