Summary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the leading chronic inflammatory rheumatism, with a prevalence of about 0.4% of the population.

First-line therapy with synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (including methotrexate) is insufficiently effective in 40% of cases. These patients are then treated with biotherapies. The use of these bio-drugs increases each year, becoming a public health issue and a considerable economic burden. Besides, their growth is just beginning, as they are among the major purveyors of pharmacy innovations.

There are about ten bio-drugs currently on the market for rheumatoid arthritis with an average annual treatment cost of 8 to 12 K € per patient. This cost is 20 times higher than that of synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. However, among patients treated with biotherapies, clinical practice shows that about one-third will not respond to the selected drug. In the case of non-response, practitioners currently have no choice but to perform an empirical rotation between the different treatments, because no tool capable of predicting the response or non-response to these molecules is currently available.

The study is a prospective, phase III, controlled, multicenter, and randomized, single-blind (patient) clinical trial.

* Intervention arm: Prescription of biotherapy (rituximab, adalimumab, abatacept) using SinnoTest® software
* Control arm: Prescription of biotherapy without the SinnoTest® software which corresponds to current practice (all biotherapies).

In addition, a sub study will be carried out within this trial to analyse the proteomic profile of the patients included and their modification throughout the study.

To study the clinical and pharmacoeconomic impact after 6 months of the use of the SinnoTest® predictive tool in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have failed to a first anti-TNF biologic agent compared to usual care.

Conditions

  • Arthritis, Rheumatoid

Interventions

DEVICE

SinnoTest®

The selection of the biotherapy is carried out based on the recommendations of SinnoTest®. This test categorizes the bDMARDs based on the probability of response. It will allow to prescribe both original molecules, as well as biosimilars, in an equivalent way. In the SinnoTest® arm, the investigator prescribes the treatment defined as the most effective by SinnoTest®, except in case of contraindication. If contraindicated, the investigator prescribes the second-choice treatment (if any) of SinnoTest® in terms of efficacy.

OTHER

Biotherapy prescription without SinnoTest® software

The rheumatologist will use the current guidelines of rheumatoid arthritis to choose the more adapted biotherapy treatment to the patient
