About this study

The etiopathogenesis of periodontal disease results from complex interaction between infectious agents, mainly including bacteria, and host cellular and humoral immune responses. However it is thought that bacteria-induced pathogenesis is not sufficient alone to explain all biological and clinical features of the destructive periodontal disease. The main hypothesis is that herpesviruses, such as Epstein-Barr Virus, may participate as well by altering epithelial gingival cell biology and consequently may promote the initiation and progression of periodontitis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence/absence of EBV in the epithelial cells of periodontal pockets (by Immunofluorescence and in situ Hybridization

    Measured: at time = 0 (baseline)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Presence/ absence of latency and/or lytic proteins (by immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization

    Measured: at time = 0 (baseline)

  2. - Epithelial tissue infected (by Immunofluorescence and In situ Hybridization) : detection of oral gingival epithelium, sulcular epithelium, junctional epithelium.

    Measured: at time = 0 (baseline)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biopsy in people with Parodontitis Aggressive and Parodontitis Chronic, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 Jun 2024. 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?

Presence/absence of EBV in the epithelial cells of periodontal pockets (by Immunofluorescence and in situ Hybridization (time frame: at time = 0 (baseline)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Jun 2024.
