Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the link between the lungs and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Additionally, to understand why RA patients get lung disease, how to treat, and prevent the disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is to learn more about the risk factors for the development of lung disease among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an auto-immune disease. Additionally, those at heightened risk of developing RA such as in the pre-RA period. This is a prospective and retrospective study, which 420 patients will be enrolled into the study. In-person participation will be up to 4 years, completing different standard of care assessments yearly. Additionally, quality of life questionnaires will be completed every 6 months at 4 time points. Lastly, an extended follow-up will be performed yearly for an additional 6 years, an overall 10 year participation.

Study Groups

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

Pre-RA

Subjects with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or airways disease, no rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and positive antibodies will participate in 5 in-person study visits. Additionally, quality of life questionnaires will be mailed/emailed and completed at home every 6 months, at 4 different time points. Overall participation will take place over a 4 year time frame and an additional 6 years of survival follow-up.

In-person Study Assessments Include:

1. Medical History and Physical Exams
2. Quality of Life Questionnaires
3. Collection of blood
4. Radiology
5. Lung Function Test
6. 6 Minute Walk Test
7. Bronchoscopy (Clinically indicated)
8. Sputum (Optional)
9. Musculoskeletal ultrasound (Optional)

No interventions assigned to this group

RA without LD

Subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and no interstitial lung disease (ILD) or airways disease, will participate in 5 in-person study visits. Additionally, quality of life questionnaires will be mailed/emailed and completed at home every 6 months, at 4 different time points. Overall participation will take place over a 4 year time frame and an additional 6 years of survival follow-up.
