Arthritis Alliance Launches Accessible Clinical Trial Portal Ahead of Family Summit

JA Family Summit convenes arthritis patients, family members, and healthcare professionals to share information on trial enrollment, discuss support services, and present educational sessions on managing disease and navigating research opportunities.

Arthritis Clinical Trials are now compiled in an online Spanish-language portal that sorts studies by joint affected, therapy phase, and participant criteria, allowing users to filter results and locate trials that match their medical profile.

Patients register on the portal to receive email alerts when new studies open that align with their diagnosis, reducing dependence on physician referrals and shortening the time between diagnosis and trial participation.

Researchers say that the combined outreach of the portal and the family summit aims to boost enrollment, improve diversity of participants, and speed the evaluation of emerging therapies for arthritis, potentially bringing treatments to market sooner.
