Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male and female subjects of all ages and racial groups will be included. The lower age limit will be determined by the ability to cooperate with saliva collection methods: i.e. 6 months to 100 years old.
  • Patients will be recruited from current NIH Clinical Center pools or the outside community. Patients must be diagnosed with cystinosis, sarcoidosis, head and neck cancer, Sjogren's syndrome or diabetes by their institute physician. Controls will be recruited from various NIH populations who are generally healthy and without one of the diseases listed above or through the NIH Healthy Volunteer Program.
  • Patients with both benign and malignant disease undergoing bone marrow transplant or hematopoeitic stem cell transplant will be eligible. Among patients with malignant disease both solid tumors and leukemias will be included. Patients who can be diagnosed unequivocally with GVHD via biopsy of the affected organ system will be included in the disease group. Patients will be included in control group when GVHD can be reliably excluded.
  • For caries studies, we will examine salivary samples already collected from a large twin cohort study in Brazil. These samples were collected from twins and their siblings as part of a study of early childhood caries. Results from that study suggest that genetics has a role in the development of caries. Whole salivary samples have been collected and frozen for further analysis. These samples will be examined for differences in salivary proteins which may be associated with the development of early childhood caries. Samples are coded with a unique numerical identifier with clinical diagnosis for caries, as well as subject age, gender and ethnicity. No other patient information is linked to this identifier to ensure patient confidentiality.

Who cannot join

  • Patients receiving autologous HCT or peripheral stem cell transplants.
  • Patients unable to cooperate with saliva collection.
  • Controls with a medical history or laboratory findings consistent with Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, diabetes, or generally poor health, or controls taking medications known to alter salivary protein profiles.

About this study

Official title: Salivary Proteomics in Disease and Health

This study will examine saliva samples from healthy volunteers and patients with various diseases to learn more about how disease affects the mouth and salivary glands. It will use a method called salivary proteomics to identify multiple proteins in saliva and discover if there are protein patterns unique to specific diseases. The study will:

  • Characterize the salivary proteome in patients with Sjogren's syndrome, graft-versus-host disease, diabetes, sarcoidosis, cystinosis, dental caries, and immunodeficiencies and in patients who have had head and neck radiation
  • Evaluate the possible use of salivary proteomics for early diagnosis
  • Evaluate the potential use of salivary proteomics for prognosis and treatment

Patients participating in NIH clinical studies who have Sjogren's syndrome, graft-versus-host disease, diabetes, sarcoidosis, cystinosis, dental caries, or an immunodeficiency, or patients undergoing head and neck radiation may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical and dental history, head and neck examination, and photographs of any mouth sores or disease. Healthy volunteers also have blood drawn for routine laboratory testing.

Participants have saliva collected from the floor of the mouth, the parotid salivary glands in the cheek, and the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands under the tongue. Patients with certain diseases also provide a urine sample. Saliva samples are collected as follows:

  • One time from healthy volunteers and patients with Sjogren's syndrome, diabetes, sarcoidosis, cystinosis and immunodeficiencies
  • Five times from patients undergoing stem cell transplant: at baseline before transplant and about 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after transplant.
  • Three times from patients undergoing head and neck radiation: at baseline before radiation and at 3 and 6 months after the conclusion of radiation.
Read the detailed description

The diagnostic potential of the proteomic methods has been explored by several groups in recent years. Saliva contains many proteins, some of which are altered in various disease states. In this study, saliva is to be sampled in patients with head and neck radiation, diabetes, hematopoietic stem cell transplant, Sjogren's syndrome, cystinuria, methylmalonic acidemia and other conditions. Various novel analytical and data-processing tools will be used to infer characteristic salivary protein and salivary analyte signatures of these disorders. In some cases, these data will be evaluated with data for the oral flora present in the saliva and plaque of these patient groups and relate the presence and levels of particular bacteria to the proteomic profile.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus and Sarcoidosis, run by National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 2 Jul 2017. 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 NCT00100204, which also lists 3 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 2 Jul 2017.
