MOUNTAIN Trial Summary

A study to identify patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis - Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (RA-ILD) that are at the highest risk for progression. The goal of the investigators is to recruit a group of patients with RA-ILD and collect information to help us understand more about disease progression. The investigators will do this using a combination of clinical, radiologic, and biologic features.

Eligible Conditions
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Interstitial Lung Disease

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Evaluating the role of novel quantitative imaging
Secondary outcome measures
Comparing peripheral blood telomere length (PB-TL)
Defining peripheral blood transcriptomic profiles
Exploring if a composite profile more accurately identifies progressive RA-ILD

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Patients with RA-ILDExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Assessments include: Clinical: height, weight, oxygen saturation at rest, and 6-minute walk test. Rheumatological: study Rheumatologist will document rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and clinical findings at baseline and follow-up. Pulmonary Function Testing: data will be collected from clinically performed spirometry and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging: HRCT scans will be collected at baseline and 12 months in line with standard of care for treatment of RA-ILD. Lab specimens: peripheral blood will be obtained for DNA, RNA, serum, and plasma at baseline and at 12 months for all sites or every 3-4 months in Colorado. Buccal swabs (cheek) will also be collected once each year. Information collected: will include demographics, co-morbidities, disease history, medication history, pulmonary function, radiographic imaging, and transplant/survival status through questionnaires and medical chart review.
