Multicentre ObservatioNal Initiative in Treat to Target Outcomes in Psoriatic Arthritis

A Multicentre Observational Psoriatic Arthritis Cohort Study Addressing Real-life Outcomes of a Treat to Target Approach in Routine Clinical Practice.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

MONITOR is a cohort study recruiting patients with a new diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) which will establish outcomes using a pragmatic feasible 'treat to target' approach in a real-life clinic population. It is the central cohort for a planned Trials Within Cohorts (TWiCs) design which will test alternative therapies and interventions in embedded clinical trials comparing outcomes to those receiving "standard care" in the cohort.
