We are looking for adults to join a national study to help us learn more about how rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develops.
We want to learn more about how rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develops in people who are at-risk. You are at risk if you have a positive blood test called ‘anti-CCP’ which may show a higher chance of developing RA in the future. By joining our study, you can help us better understand who gets RA.
If you join this study, we will ask you and your doctor about your health, have you fill out surveys, and collect blood samples. We will study your immune system and how it may be linked to RA. This includes looking at your samples for immune activity and checking your genes to find causes that may affect how your immune system works.
You will have at least one visit each year. You can have your blood drawn at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus or at a lab near your home.
You may join this study if:
