About this study

Official title: Research Registry for Inherited Disorders of Keratinization

The ichthyoses are a family of genetic skin diseases characterized by dry, thickened, scaling skin. Dermatologists estimate that there are over twenty varieties of ichthyosis, with a wide range of severity and associated symptoms. This registry is designed to identify people in the United States with the ichthyoses and other related disorders and to collect information about their skin ailment and how it has affected them. The database is available for review by approved research applicants. The registry is confidential and provides investigators a way to share information about studies and trials with potential participants while maintaining participants' privacy.

Although the Registry is closed to new enrollment, it is still maintained in order to provide information related to understanding the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of ichthyoses. Support for studies continues and inquiries from investigators are welcomed.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this registry is to support studies aimed at determining the cause of the ichthyoses and treating them more effectively. The Registry offers blinded information about well-characterized groups of individuals with specific diagnoses for study by skin biologists, pharmacologists, and others. The Registry also provides information about research projects to those that have enrolled in the Registry and expressed an interest in participating in studies.

Participants enrolled in the Registry by contacting the registry officials. All participants participated in a phone interview with the study research nurse. Participants were asked about diagnostic testing, treatments, birth history, medical history, degree and type of involvement, current physical condition, and other family members with skin disorders. A quality of life index was embedded in the interview. Participants also indicated whether they would like to be contacted about participating in clinical research. This information was complemented by an enrollment form from the enrollee's caregiver.

Diagnosis was confirmed by specific criteria based on clinical involvement, review of histology, and where appropriate, serum cholesterol sulfate determination or DNA analysis.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00074685, which also lists 15 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2022.
