Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Several biomarkers (concentration of proteins, RNA levels, auto-antibody titers) will be determined at baseline, week 6, 12, 24 and 52 and compared to DAS28 (Disease Activity Score 28) for rheumatoid arthritis, to ASDAS (Ankylosig Spondylitis Activity Score) for axiale spondyloarthritis and to PsARC (Psoriatic Arthritis Response Criteria) for psoriatic arthritis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
• Biomarkers/auto-reactivity will be correlated with clinical response, expressed as DAS28, ASDAS, BASDAI, BASMI and PsARC. Improvement from baseline to week 6, 12, 24, 52 or in case of aborting treatment with Certolizumab Pegol prematurely. • Biomarkers/auto-reactivity will be correlated with radiological data of imaging from centers of rheumatology that use thee daily methods in daily practice at baseline and week 6, 12, 24, 52 or in case of aborting treatment with Certolizumab Pegol prematurely. • To monitor DAS28 partial remission (DAS28 <2,6) and “remission/inactive disease” to the musculoskeletal manifestations for axiale spondyloarthritis (ASDAS and BASDAI) and psoriatic arthritis (PsARC and DAS28) from baseline to week 6, 12, 24, 52 or in case of aborting treatment with Certolizumab Pegol prematurely. • To evaluate the variables: DAS28, ASDAS, BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, PsARC with Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, Leeds Enthesitis Index, Leeds Dactylitis Index and Modified Nail Psoriasis Severity Index, HAQ, EQ-5D, from baseline to week 6, 12, 24, 52 or in case of aborting treatment with Certolizumab Pegol prematurely. • Analysis of different immune parameters ( RF IgM, RF IgA, Anti-CCP, CRP) from baseline to week 6, 12, 24, 52 or in case of aborting treatment with Certolizumab Pegol prematurely.
