This study looks at whether a new blood test (anti-PCOLCE) can help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis, especially in people who test negative for standard markers.
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 study follows people who are at high risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis, as well as first-degree relatives of RA patients and people with very early untreated RA. It aims to learn more about the disease so doctors can better predict and prevent it.
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 tests a smart home blood collection platform for people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to make remote monitoring easier by allowing you to collect blood samples at home using a smartphone or tablet.
