Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if there are any genetic differences between people with and without disorders of the head, face, and eye. We will create a biorepository of samples from people with and without these types of birth defects. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to find out if there are any genetic differences between people with and without disorders of the head, face, and eye. We will create a biorepository of samples from people with and without these types of birth defects. A biorepository is a collection or "bank" of human tissue materials (such as blood or saliva) for research purposes. These samples will then be available to investigators studying these disorders.

Read the detailed description

Samples from the FaceBase Biorepository and data collected from these samples will be available to investigators who are studying birth defects of the head, face, and eye. Data and samples will be deidentified prior to use by other investigators. Researchers will be allowed to use samples and medical information only after approval by the FaceBase Biorepository Data Access Committee. Once the FaceBase Biorepository Data Access Committee has established that the proposed use of the samples and clinical data meet the criteria for sound, ethical research, then the investigator will be granted permission to use a small portion of the sample and have access to clinical data stored in the computer database. Investigators who are not part of the FaceBase Biorepository Research Team will not know participant's names or other personally identifiable information.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Craniofacial Abnormalities and Cleft Lip, run by Jeff Murray 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 2 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 4 May 2018. 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 NCT01252264, which also lists 2 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 4 May 2018.
