Pan-immune-inflammation Value (PIN) in Behçet's Disease and Its Correlation With Disease Activity
Egypt80 participantsStarted 2023-12-01
Plain-language summary
Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis affecting both small and large blood vessels in the venous and arterial systems. It is a multiorgan disease with various manifestations, including mucocutaneous, articular, ocular, gastrointestinal, vascular, and neurological involvements. The aim of present study is to assess pan immune inflammation value (PIN) value in BD in comparison to healthy control ,assess the PIN value in association with demographics and clinical characteristics of Behcet patients and to assess the PIN value in association with disease activity.

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.
1This study looked at something called the Pan-Immune-Inflammation (PIN) value in people with Behçet's Disease — can you explain what the PIN value is and whether measuring it could tell us anything useful about how active my disease is?
2Since this trial has already been completed and was comparing Behçet's patients to healthy controls, has any data or results been published yet, and if so, what did they find about how the PIN value differs in people with Behçet's Disease?
3This study was observational rather than testing a new treatment — does that mean the PIN value is still just a research tool, or is it something you might actually use to monitor my Behçet's Disease in clinical practice today?
4If the PIN value turns out to be a reliable marker of disease activity in Behçet's, could it eventually change how you track my flares or decide when to adjust my treatment, and is that something worth following as more research comes out?
5Are there other established blood markers or scoring systems you already use to measure my Behçet's disease activity, and how might the PIN value compare or add to what we're already monitoring?

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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
