Preventing arthritis relapse

The project consortium focuses on:

Text

Investigating the possible superiority of early treatment of psoriatic spondyloarthritis (pSpA) patients with biologic treatment as compared to the standard of care.

Text

Delineating the window of opportunity for pSpA: a transient time frame in which a disease is more susceptible to treatment.

Text

Unravelling new biomarkers of therapy response using cutting-edge single-cell technology and epigenetic profiling.

Text

Determining health-economic and societal impact of earlier and more biologic intensive treatment of patients with recent onset pSpA.

Text

Increasing awareness among referring physicians and patient-advocacy groups about the value of early recognition and treatment in rheumatology.

In short, SPARTACUS will explore the societal and economic impact of this new, temporally restricted biologics treatment and improved diagnosis.​
