HELP ACCELERATE RESEARCH FOR
Psoriatic Arthritis
Study
Psoriatic Arthritis At-Home Research Study
Location: Nationwide
Compensation: $100
Length: 30 MINUTES
The goal of this research is to allow researchers to enhance our understand of psoriatic arthritis, in support of developing new diagnostic and treatment options for patients living with this condition.
You may qualify if you:
- Are age 18 to 85 years old
- Are diagnosed moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis for at least 6 months
- Live in the United States
You may not qualify if you:
- Are pregnant or nursing
- Have a known history of HIV, hepatitis, or other infectious disease
- Experienced excess blood loss including blood donations defined as 250 mL in the last two months
- Have undergone treatment with Stelara (ustekinumab), Tremfya (guselkumab), Ilumya (tildrakizumab), Skyrizi (risankizumab), Consentyx (secukinumab), Taltz (ixekizumab), Siliq (brodalumab), or received anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha biologic therapy Humira (adalimumab) within 16 weeks of blood donation
- Have undergone treatment with Tysabri (natalizumab), Benlysta (belimumab), Orencia (abatacept), or Visilizumab within 16 weeks of blood donation
- Have received JAK inhibitor Xeljanz (tofacitinib), or Rinvoq (upadacitinib) within 4 weeks of blood donation
- Have received Rituxan (rituximab) or Lemtrada (alemtuzumab) within 26 weeks of blood donation
- Are undergoing phototherapy or had phototherapy in the last 4 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions
You can withdraw from the study or decline participation at any time for any reason.
All of our studies and staff are HIPAA compliant and follow all state and federal regulations. We keep your information confidential. Check out our privacy and protection policies to learn more.
Yes. However, to participate in most studies, you will need to provide proof of your diagnosis. Even if you are not currently seeing a physician, you can still sign an authorization for Medical Record Release from your former physician that can serve as proof of diagnosis. Previous medical records can serve as proof of diagnosis.
We may ask you to sign a Release of Medical Records so that we can provide researchers with the data they need to conduct as comprehensive of a study as possible. Your de-identified medical information will help translate laboratory results from collected samples into clinical information that may be used to develop new therapies and/or diagnostics.
No. We collect blood and other samples from donors in order to provide scientists with quality samples for their research. We do not perform diagnostic tests.
