This study looks at levels of certain immune system proteins (IL-6, IL-12, IL-15, and IL-23) in the blood of people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to understand how these proteins relate to the disease and may help guide future treatments for better outcomes.
This study looks at specific genetic differences and blood levels of immune proteins to see how they relate to rheumatoid arthritis risk and how active the disease is. It may help researchers understand who is more likely to have rheumatoid arthritis and when the condition is more active.
This trial measures levels of a protein called CCL-21 in the blood of people with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if CCL-21 levels relate to disease activity and could help track inflammation.
This study looks for new markers in the blood or breath that could help doctors find and track lung disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. If you have RA and are over 18, this could help us better understand how lung problems start and how to catch them early.
This trial looks at cardiovascular risk factors in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), comparing those who test positive or negative for certain blood markers. It aims to understand how heart health may differ between these groups.
This study looks at whether a blood test can predict how well people with rheumatoid arthritis will respond to a type of medication called anti-TNF. If successful, it could help doctors choose the right treatment earlier.
