Arterial stiffness and arthritis features study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how stiff your blood vessels (arteries) are and how that relates to arthritis symptoms in people with ankylosing spondylitis. It involves simple tests to measure blood vessel health along with your regular arthritis care.

This study looks at how a body signal called IL-23 may drive inflammation in spondyloarthritis (including joints) using samples from your care. It may help researchers identify which body cells and targets are involved, and how treatments could work better for active disease.
This study examines joint tissue from people with different types of arthritis to understand the disease better. It may help researchers develop better treatments in the future.
This study is looking at early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and heart health. It compares people newly diagnosed with RA (within the last 6 months) to healthy people of similar age and sex. The goal is to see if there are early signs of hardening of the arteries in people with RA.
