  • HPOS (Hippocrates Prospective Observational Study)

    This is now closed

    Institution: University of Oxford

    Main study contact: Professor Laura Coates

    Public contact details: hpos@ndorms.ox.ac.uk

    Description of activity: We are planning to launch a European online study in June of this year to monitor people with psoriasis to see who develops PsA. The study will be completely remote with participants filling in questionnaires online and sending small fingerprick blood samples by post.

    We are aiming to recruit 25,000 people with psoriasis across 10 countries. We think this cohort of patients will help us to completely change how we think about the development of PsA and how to predict this.

    It will help us to design prevention studies, where we would offer potential drug treatments or lifestyle interventions (like exercise, stress management etc) to see if we can prevent PsA. We have really carefully designed the study with a number of patient partners across Europe.

    Recruit criteria: People with psoriasis but not (yet) PsA

    Where? All remote

    Time commitment: Approx 20 mins every 6 months

    Closing date: June 2024

    Funder/sponsor: IMI funded consortium

    Email: dylan.mcgagh@ndorms.ox.ac.uk or through QR code registration

    Description of activity

    We are looking for people to join our patient partner group for the PREDICT study. This study will investigate whether blood tests can predict which patients will respond to different treatments. This study will also test the use of digital tools such as smartwatches and apps to capture more about how patients with psoriatic arthritis feel and function in response to different treatments. We want to gather the perspectives of individuals with psoriatic arthritis on our overall study aims, gain some feedback on our study specific app and more broadly ask on perspectives of using digital measures to capture information on symptoms and mobility.

This is an anonymous online questionnaire which will take about 25 minutes to complete. This study has been approved by The University of Hertfordshire Health, Science, Engineering and Technology Ethics Committee with Delegated Authority, reference: aLMS/PGR/UH/05068(1).
