Study summary

The aim of this study is to offer patients two treatment options: morning or evening administration of a JAK inhibitor prescribed within the framework of its marketing authorization, according to the EULAR response.

The objective is to determine whether evening administration in our patients with rheumatoid arthritis provides greater efficacy than morning administration in our patients taking JAK inhibitors once daily.

Study population

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, treated at the Princess Grace Hospital Centre. It will take place in the Rheumatology department.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patient aged over 18 years
  • Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis according to the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria
  • Patient meeting the criteria for initiation of a JAK inhibitor according to the marketing authorization and international recommendations
  • Patient capable of providing informed, written, dated, and signed consent before the start of any trial-related procedure.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No to a bDMARD
  • Not stable dose of in the 4 weeks preceding enrollment
  • Not stable dose of maintenance therapy (methotrexate, leflunomide, hydroxychloroquine, cyclosporine, gold salts) in the 4 weeks preceding enrollment
  • Prior treatment with a JAK inhibitor
  • Patient unable to be followed-up in the study during 6 months
  • Minors or adults under guardianship or curatorship, or deprived of their liberty
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding patient
  • Patient refusing to use an effective method of for the duration of the study
  • Person not affiliated with a social security scheme.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. EULAR response criteria between the two groups

    Comparison of the evolution of the response rate (according to EULAR response criteria) between the two treatment modalities between the two groups (morning + evening vs evening + morning)

    Time frame: From first intake to six months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of remission (DAS<2.6) or low disease activity

    Time frame: 3 months and 6 months

  2. Adverse events related to study treatment

    number of adverse events between the two groups that led to a dose reduction or discontinuation of treatment

    Time frame: From Baseline through study completion

  3. Continuation of treatments

    Time frame: From baseline to 3 months and from 3 months to 6 months

  4. EULAR response at Month 3

    Percentage of patients meeting EULAR response criteria after 3 months of treatment.

    Time frame: from baseline to third month

  5. EULAR response at Month 6

    Percentage of patients meeting EULAR response criteria after 6 months of treatment.

    Time frame: from baseline to six month

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Apr 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2026, 31 months after the start.

Of 234 non-industry observational studies under Arthritis, Rheumatoid, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 145. This study's planned 31 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 389 studies reached it within 50 months; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 113.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 29, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
