Spondyloarthritis
A group of inflammatory rheumatic diseases with the
following common features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
peripheral as well as axial arthritis
radiological sacroiliitis
mucosal and skin inflammation
tendency for familial aggregation
absence of rheumatoid factors
absence of subcutaneous nodules
Ann Rheum Dis 2011;70:1-3.
A trans-disciplinary national research program
focusing on Genetic and Pathogenesis Studies
and Outcome Measures for Patients with SpA
Established 2003
Funded by The Arthritis Society National Research
Initiative Grant 2006-2010
The SPARCC Executive Committee
SPARCC Objectives
Overall Objective
• To improve the health of SpA patients in Canada by
better defining, diagnosing, and predicting the
course of AS and PsA
The three objectives and key elements of the
SPARCC research network are
• Improved understanding of the biological basis
of SpA
• Improved clinical outcomes in SpA
• Improved assessment of the impact of SpA in
Canada.
SPARCC Research
Areas of focus
•Cohort expansion and detailed longitudinal
follow up
•Identification and validation of biomarkers
•Development of personalized treatments
•Development of strategies for early detection
•Development of tools and techniques for best
practices for clinicians
