Hippocrates

HIPPOCRATES is a research project which aims at promoting early identification and improving outcomes for patients with psoriatic arthritis. By looking into the disease mechanisms of psoriatic arthritis, the 26 European partners collaborating in HIPPOCRATES aim at improving diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients living with this condition.

Through gaining a better understanding of the complex interplay between clinical and environmental factors, genotype and molecular pathways, the team aims to enable earlier diagnosis and a more accurate prediction of disease progression. This will revolutionise treatment and deliver profound patient benefits. The HIPPOCRATES partners contribute a diverse range of backgrounds including clinical, scientific, data analytics, ethics, patient participation as well as SME and pharmaceutical industry expertise.

Data management

In order to achieve its goals, the HIPPOCRATES project will set up a single integrated database combining the cohorts and datasets of the most important European PsA studies and establish a Europe-wide library of relevant clinical biosamples. HIPPOCRATES will also establish a large, prospective, observational study of 25,000 patients with psoriasis who will be recruited and followed online for the development of PsA.
