About this study

Official title: A Historical Chart Review and Longitudinal Follow-Up of Identified Patients With Wolman Disease or Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease, Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency

The purpose of this study are: to characterize and understand the natural history of disease progression in WD and CESD, and to provide historical controls for WD and CESD for developing clinical treatment trials. The hypothesis is that the variability and clinical progression in WD and CESD is large and represents a continuum of severities from a lethal infantile to near normal adults with only "fatty livers".

Read the detailed description

This is a single institution historical cohort study of patients with Wolman (WD) or Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease (CESD). Retrospective data will be collected and abstracted from the medical records of both living and deceased patients. Additionally prospective data from living patients will be collected and abstracted annually until the end of the study. Literature sources will be used as secondary source data and will be screened to minimize/eliminate duplicative reports.

Being tested
There are no interventions in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Organ Measurements using Ultrasound Imaging

    Measurement of the effect over time of LAL deficiency on the liver, spleen, intestines, lungs and adrenals will be performed using ultrasound imaging. Measurement using ultrasound imaging will only be completed if clinically indicated during clinical-care patient visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change in Organ Measurements using X-Ray Imaging

    Measurement of the effect over time of LAL deficiency on the liver, spleen, intestines, lungs and adrenals will be performed using X-rays. Measurement using X-ray imaging will only be completed if clinically indicated during clinical-care patient visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

  2. Change in Organ Measurements using Computerized Tomography

    Measurement of the effect over time of LAL deficiency on the liver, spleen, intestines, lungs and adrenals will be performed using Computerized Tomography. Measurement using Computerized Tomography imaging will only be completed if clinically indicated during clinical-care patient visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

  3. Change in Organ Measurements using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Measurement of the effect over time of LAL deficiency on the liver, spleen, intestines, lungs and adrenals will be performed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Measurement using Magnetic Resonance Imaging will only be completed if clinically indicated during clinical-care patient visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

  4. Change in Liver Function using Standardized Laboratory Liver Function Assessment

    Measurement of the effect over time of LAL deficiency on the liver will be performed using standardized laboratory liver function assessments during clinical-care visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

  5. Change in Pulmonary Function using Standardized Pulmonary Function Assessment

    Measurement of the effect over time of LAL deficiency on the lungs will be performed using standardized pulmonary function assessment during clinical care visits. Measurement using standardized pulmonary function assessment will only be completed if clinically indicated during clinical-care patient visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

  6. Change in Subjects's Overall Health Status using Clinical Exam

    Measurement of the effect over time of LAL deficiency on the subject's physical health status will be performed using clinical physical exams during clinical-care visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

  7. Change in the Subject's Overall Health Status using Verbal Report

    Measurement of the effect over time of LAL deficiency on the subject's overall health status will be performed using patient's or parents' verbal report during clinical-care visits.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Wolman Disease and Cholesterol Ester Storage Disease, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati 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 6 inclusion and 0 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 28 Jul 2015. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Organ Measurements using Ultrasound Imaging (time frame: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4). 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 28 Jul 2015.
