  • Ages Up to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: We plan to recruit 75 patients who will meet chart review criteria, selected from a population of 250-300 patients in the Shriners Hospitals for Children--Greenville (SHC) database. In addition, any patients evaluated at a monthly Genetics clinic held at SHC who meet eligibility criteria will be offered enrollment in the study in person (with a goal of 15). Participants of any ethnicity and both genders will be represented in this study. Since participants will be selected from the SHC patient database, as well as Greenwood Genetic Center clinics held at SHC in Greenville, SC, study participant's geographic location will be concentrated in the Southeastern region of the United States.

Who may be able to join

  • Eligible participants must currently receive care in the Shriners Hospitals for Children system, and therefore, will be under 19 years of age.
  • Eligible participants must have one of the following diagnoses: bilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, bilateral hip dysplasia, multiple joint pain, unidentified skeletal dysplasia
  • Eligible participants (or legal guardian) must be able and willing to sign informed consent/assent in English or Spanish.

Who cannot join

  • Participants with one or more or the above inclusion diagnoses who have a specific etiologic diagnosis will not be eligible to participate in this study.
  • If we are unable to obtain the necessary specimens, the participant will be removed from the study.

About this study

Official title: Screening an Orthopedic Population for Mildly-affected Individuals With Morquio Syndrome Type A and Maroteaux-Lamy Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to identify patients with Morquio syndrome type A (MPS IVA) and Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (MPS VI) who may have been missed or misdiagnosed due to atypical clinical features, a milder course, and/or negative urine screening. We will recruit participants who have certain hip and/or joint problems that could potentially be caused by one of these two genetic conditions through a chart review process conducted at Shriners Hospital for Children in Greenville, SC. Diagnostic testing will be performed for each participant to determine if he or she is affected by one of these two conditions. Results will be disclosed to all participants and their legal guardians, and appropriate follow up will be recommended for those who are found to have abnormal results.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of MPS IVA and MPS VI in an pediatric orthopedic population

    The primary objective of this study is to identify patients with Morquio syndrome type A or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome who may have been missed or misdiagnosed due to atypical clinical features, a milder course, and/or negative mucopolysaccharidosis urine screening.

    Measured: Data will be reviewed at the end of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. DNA and urine collection and storage in a pediatric orthopedic population

    The secondary objective of this study is to obtain and keep blood and urine samples for possible future research on Morquio syndrome type A, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome, or other related or unrelated diseases.

    Measured: Specimen collection will occur within one year, and specimen storage will be indefinite

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Morquio Syndrome A and Maroteaux Lamy Syndrome, run by Greenwood Genetic Center 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 13 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 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?

Prevalence of MPS IVA and MPS VI in an pediatric orthopedic population (time frame: Data will be reviewed at the end of 1 year). 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 13 Aug 2015.
