Clinnova-RD: A Prospective Cohort Study of Patients With Rheumatoid Diseases
100 participantsStarted 2026-04-01
Plain-language summary
This study is part of the Clinnova program. This is a prospective cohort study including patients with RD recruited at the time of a treatment change. At least 800 participants (recruited in France, Germany and Luxembourg) will be enrolled, of which 100 participants are expected to be recruited in Luxembourg with the present study protocol. The mission of Clinnova is to support the digitalization of healthcare and precision medicine by creating a data-enabling environment for accessing, sharing and analyzing interoperable, high-quality health data. The main hypothesis is that treatment change decided by clinicians is predictable using objective surrogate markers derived from clinical, epidemiological, and omics data. Identifying these objective markers may facilitate future treatment decisions, provide new insights on the molecular causes for differential treatment response, pathogenesis and progression, and potential pointers for improved personalized therapeutic interventions.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
