Trial summary

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Quantitative urine screening for mucopolysaccharides (MPS) has been the primary method for detecting mucopolysaccharidoses in children. This method may not be sufficiently sensitive and may miss some patients with arylsulfatase B (ARSB) deficiency. Read more about this study

About this study

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Quantitative urine screening for mucopolysaccharides (MPS) has been the primary method for detecting mucopolysaccharidoses in children. This method may not be sufficiently sensitive and may miss some patients with arylsulfatase B (ARSB) deficiency. Investigators propose to identify patients retrospectively and prospectively who carry a diagnosis of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, bilateral proximal femoral epiphyseal dysplasia, or bilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes. For these patients, investigators will perform enzyme testing on a blood sample which will identify MPS VI or IVA.

Patients who have an earlier diagnosis of MPS are likely to have better health outcomes with medical management. Therefore, it is important to determine effective diagnostic methods. Investigators believe that bilateral hip involvement should alert the clinician to the possibility of MPS VI and further examination. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the correct diagnoses of two MPS storage disorders are delayed in patients with bilateral proximal femoral epiphyseal dysplasia and normal quantitative urine MPS studies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mucopolysaccharidosis IV A and Mucopolysaccharidosis VI, run by Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota at 2 sites 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 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 4 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Subjects identified with MPS IVA or VI (time frame: 2 years). 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 4 Aug 2015.
