An interventional study of Blood sample analysis of patients treated as standard care in Rheumatoid Arthritis, sponsored by University Hospital, Montpellier. Terminated at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-30.

This study will investigate whether inhibitors of the JAK / STAT signaling pathway can increase anti-inflammatory functions of B cells in patients with RA using in vitro and in vivo experiments.
This study will first analyze the effect of inhibitors of the JAK / STAT pathway in vitro on B-cell phenotypes and functions in 30 RA patients and 30 patients with osteoarthritis. It will also study the phenotypes and functions of B cells in RA patients for whom JAK / STAT inhibitor treatment has been prescribed by the patient's usual rheumatologist. The analysis will be done before the start of treatment and 3 months later. The phenotypes of B-cells will be assessed by flow cytometry with intra- and extra-cellular stainings. The functions of B cells will be assessed by their ability to differenciate naïve T cells in coculture.
