About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to describe the transcriptomic and metabolomic profile of patients with chronic Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition (CPPD) compared to those with acute CPPD.

The hypotheses are as follows :

* It is hypothesised that there is a transcriptomic and metabolomic signature of CPPD which explains why therapeutic responses to different anti-inflammatory treatments differ from one phenotype to another one * It is hypothesised that the acute and chronic clinical phenotypes of CPPD have different clinical, biological and imaging characteristics, as well as a differing predisposition toward crystalline deposition and inflammatory pathway activation.

The management of participants with chronic forms of the disease included in this research was modelled on the usual recommended management, including a biological workup, joint puncture, ultrasound and radiographic workup. Double-energy CT scans and transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses on plasma are not routine tests.
