Study of the Functional Status Neutrophils in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients to Identify New Biomarkers of Response to Anti-TNFalpha Therapy

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this interventional pathophysiological exploratory, cohort, prospective, with a 6-month follow-up study is to characterize phenotypic and functional alterations of PolyMorphonuclear Neutrophils as well as monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells in blood samples from rheumatoid arthritis patients. Investigators will perform prospective characterization of these myeloid cells before and after treatment to assess how the functional status of PMNs/myeloid cells affects the response to anti-TNFα (tumor necrosis factor alpha) in rheumatoid arthritis. This will identify key immune components potentially involved in the activation and/or recruitment of PolyMorphonuclear Neutrophils (PMN) (and other myeloid cells) that may play a role in the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis and may help predict the response to anti-TNFα agents, thus guiding the decision-making of therapeutic strategies.
