The Role of IL-23 in Chronic Inflammatory Disease: Exploring the Cellular and Molecular Targets of IL-23 Signaling in Peripheral and Axial Spondyloarthritis
This is a research study involving humans, of the interventional type with minimal risks and constraints (RIPH2). It is a multicentric, non randomized prospective study aiming to better understand the mechanisms of the response to anti-IL-23 biologics in Spondyloarthritis patients attending the rheumatology department of Cochin, Saint-Antoine, Henri-Mondor hospitals (APHP) and Maison-Blanche Hospital (Reims).
