Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to find out more about some of the unusual chemicals (called oligosaccharides) that can occur naturally as a result of processes in the body. Researchers want to look at how these chemicals change with time and how they change between different patients with MPSIVA. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Discovering New Biomarkers for Monitoring Disease Progression in Patients With Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPSIVA)

The purpose of this study is to find out more about some of the unusual chemicals (called oligosaccharides) that can occur naturally as a result of processes in the body. Researchers want to look at how these chemicals change with time and how they change between different patients with MPSIVA. These unusual chemicals were recently discovered in the urine from patients with MPSIVA. The investigators would like to study these chemicals before a specific enzyme replacement therapy is used. If the investigators understand how these chemicals change, the investigators may be able to use them to monitor this condition in the near future as well as help doctors know whether certain therapies work well in their patients.

Read the detailed description

This is not a clinical trial and there is no outcome measurement. The biomarkers in this study are oligosaccharides that secreted in the urine from patients with MPSIVa. In this study, we will try to define the variability of these oligosaccharides in the same patient at different time points, including different month of a year and different collections during the day as well as variations of these oligosaccharide in different affected patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantification of urinary oligosaccharides in urine from a first morning void in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA.

    The variability of oligosaccharides in the same patient over different time points and urine specimen type will be evaluated.

    Measured: Every 2 months over the course of a year.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quantification of urinary oligosaccharides in urine from a random collection in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA.

    The variability of oligosaccharides among different patients with MPSIVa will be evaluated.

    Measured: One urine over the course of a year or 6M

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IVA, run by Emory University 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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Original PI relocated to another institution). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Quantification of urinary oligosaccharides in urine from a first morning void in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA. (time frame: Every 2 months over the course of a year.). 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 NCT01733615, 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 Sep 2014.
