Brief Summary

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

Purpose:

The study aims to investigate how Filgotinib affects proteins and micro-RNA in the blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This could help understand its impact on inflammation and bone health in these patients.

Study Design:

This is a single-center, prospective randomized study.

Detailed Description

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

Population:

The study will include 30 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis: 15 patients treated with Filgotinib. 15 patients treated with Adalimumab (used as a comparison group).

Procedures:

Participants will have blood samples taken at the start and then every 4 weeks up to 12 weeks. These samples will be used to analyze changes in proteins and micro-RNA. Participants will continue their regular rheumatoid arthritis treatment during the study.

Primary Objective:

To observe changes in the metabolic profile (proteins and micro-RNA) in patients treated with Filgotinib.

Secondary Objectives:

Compare the metabolic profile changes between Filgotinib and Adalimumab. Identify metabolic factors associated with early clinical response to Filgotinib.

Safety and Data Management:

Adverse events will be monitored and reported. Patient confidentiality will be maintained according to privacy laws.

Study Duration:

Recruitment: 16 weeks. Patient involvement: 12 weeks. Total study duration: 28 weeks.
