Brief summary
PRISM is a prospective registry and biorepository, established to facilitate the collection of clinical data and biospecimens with the aim of improving infection prevention, infection surveillance and infection management in patients receiving disease modifying therapies for autoimmune conditions. Research questions which may be address relate to the real-world epidemiology of infections in patients receiving disease modifying therapies, impact of disease modifying therapies on vaccine response, and the effect of sequential immunological therapies on the immune system.
Interventions
Patients with auto-immune diseases receiving, or planning to receive, disease modifying therapies, will be included prospectively in the registry under an opt-out consent. Demographic, medical history, treatment history, vaccination history and infection events will be included. Participants may also be invited, with written informed consent, to participate actively by donating research samples including serology, blood cultures, and infection diagnostics at baseline, and at any pertinent event post enrolment, including infection on therapy, vaccination on therapy, augmentation to therapy or hospitalisation. Any pre-existing infection or treatment data from the medical-record will be reviewed and may be collected retrospectively.
