IMPACT - AndHealth Autoimmune Research Registry

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Root-cause autoimmune treatment program: The AndHealth autoimmune treatment program combines validated and guideline-driven approaches along with emerging evidence-based modalities. The program includes a comprehensive assessment of disease severity, analysis of root causes and comorbidities, and an evaluation of the patient's readiness for implementing important lifestyle changes. This is followed by the development of an optimized and personalized plan to achieve and sustain clinical remission while monitoring their progress. Each patient participating in the AndHealth program receives a personalized care plan developed by the patient's medical provider in collaboration with a team of healthcare specialists. Helping a patient manage everyday lifestyle decisions can have a profound effect on their ability to achieve and maintain remission. The AndHealth Program has organized these into four basic groups of lifestyle behaviors: 1.) Dietary/Nutrition, 2.) Sleep/Circadian, 3.) Stress/HPA axis, and 4.) Physical Activity.

Study summary

This is a patient research registry aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a comprehensive, root-cause medical approach ("AndHealth program") for autoimmune disorders. This approach involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies offered under the care of a licensed physician with the support of health coaches. While protocol guidance is provided, the therapeutic approach is personalized to the individual needs of patients. The autoimmune disorders of focus in this registry include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis. A variety of validated labs, patient-reported outcomes, and medication usage will be assessed among participating patients over a period of up to five years to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of this approach.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• PROMIS - Global Health — Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
  Change in PROMIS - Global Health is a co-primary outcome for all patients. All patients will provide the PROMIS - Global Health at baseline and all follow-up visits. The 10-item PROMIS Global Health is a patient-reported survey that was designed for use in complex heterogeneous patient populations. The PROMIS Global Health measures overall health status across several physical and mental health areas. PROMIS t-scores range from 16.2 to 67.7 (Physical Health) and 21.2 to 67.6 (Mental Health) with higher scores indicating better health.
• Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID 3) — Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
  Change in RAPID 3 is a co-primary outcome for rheumatoid arthritis \& psoriatic arthritis patients. All patients with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis will provide the RAPID 3 at baseline and all follow-up visits. This 3-item questionnaire is a rheumatological disease activity index that is calculated to reflect severity of disease. Scores range from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
• Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) — Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
  Change in DLQI is a co-primary outcome for psoriasis patients. All patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis will provide the DLQI at baseline and all follow-up visits. This 10-item questionnaire is a common measure of the health-related quality of life for skin disorders. DLQI scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating worse quality of life.
• Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) — Baseline and approximately quarterly thereafter for up to 5 years
  Change in BASDAI is a co-primary outcome for ankylosing spondylitis patients. All patients with ankylosing spondylitis will provide the BASDAI at baseline and all follow-up visits. This 6-item questionnaires is a brief, validated measure of ankylosing spondylitis activity. BASDAI scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
