About this study

Official title: Viral Infection of Lymphoid Cells Occuring at the First Manifestation of Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the association of a latent infection of lymphoid cells during the first manifestation of steroid sensitive nephrite syndrome. The thirty nine units of general pediatrics and pediatric nephrite covering the parisian area will participate to the study. We speculate that hybridization of the genome, or a part of the genome, of a virus in lymphoid cells is responsible specific changes of genes expression, leading to the development of the disease.

Read the detailed description

An additional blood volume will be sampled in patients and controls during a scheduled biological check-up for the initial disease and viral genome of EBV, CMV, HHV6, HHV7 as well as adenovirus will be searched for using PCR reaction in total blood DNA extract. The frequency of a latent hybridization of virus genome within human genome will be compared between patients with steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome and controls matched for age and sex. Secondary studies will include a comparison of steroid dependency in nephrotic patients according to the occurence of a latent viral hybridization, the epidemiology of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in the Parisian area and a pharmacogenetic analysis of steroid sensitivity and dependency. If necessary, the chromosomal localization of viral hybridization will be studied with fluorescence in situ hybridization using specific probes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hybridization of viral genome will be studied at the first manifestation of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome

    Measured: Within the 3 days of the first manifestation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Steroid sensitivity will be checked by 1 month of prednisone therapy according to the recommendation of the " SOCIETE DE NEPROLOGIE PEDIATRIQUE" and steroid dependency will be checked at 4.5 months of prednisone therapy.

    Measured: 4.5 months

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 3 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 27 Feb 2014. 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 France. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hybridization of viral genome will be studied at the first manifestation of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (time frame: Within the 3 days of the first manifestation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00577525, which also lists 14 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 27 Feb 2014.
