What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will measure a protein called IL-41 in the blood of 90 people with ankylosing spondylitis or psoriatic arthritis, plus healthy volunteers. Researchers want to see if higher levels of this protein are linked to more active disease. The goal is to find a simple blood test that could help doctors track inflammation and disease activity in these chronic conditions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new way to measure disease activity in these conditions using a simple blood test.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study, so results may not apply to all patients. It only looks at a marker, not a treatment.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * patients diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS)and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), in addition to age- and sex-matched healthy controls. AS diagnosed according to the modified New York criteria, while PsA was diagnosed based on the CASPAR criteria. Exclusion Criteria: Patients under the age of 18 years, patients with other autoimmune diseases, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney or liver disease, active infection, or malignancy were excluded to avoid confounding factors affecting inflammatory markers.
