About this study

Official title: Different Doses of IVIG for Kawasaki Disease: a Multicentre, Prospective, Randomised Trial

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of different doses of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (1g/kg once, 1g/kg twice, 2g/kg once) for Kawasaki disease (KD) in a multicentre, prospective,randomised trial.

Read the detailed description

Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile illness recognized most often in young children. Coronary abnormality is the most serious complication preventable with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration. Various treatment regimens of IVIG have been reported.The optimal administrative doses of IVIG deserves more observations.We will conduct a multicenter, randomized, prospective trial to determine the effect of different doses of IVIG (1g/kg once, 1g/kg twice, 2g/kg once) for Kawasaki disease. The KD children will be randomly assigned to three groups and were given different IVIG regimen (1g/kg once, 1g/kg twice, 2g/kg once)as initial treatment. Patient age, gender, white blood cell count, hemoglobin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), red blood cell specific volume (HCT) , serum albumin, the fever days,and the cost of hospital stay will be analyzed among the three groups. The primary outcome is the duration of fever subsided and the incidence of coronary artery lesions .

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IVIG (1g/kg,once)Drug

    Also called Asprin

    Group C patients received IVIG 1g/kg per day once. The IVIG was started on the fifth to tenth day of illness. In combination with IVIG, the patients were administered aspirin at a dose of 30 mg/kg per day; this dose was reduced to 3-5 mg/kg per day after the fever disappeared for 3 days and the CRP value was ≤8mg/L. Patients who were admitted before the fourth day of illness were treated only with aspirin. Each immunoglobulin was administered at a dose of 1 g/kg for 10h.

    Patients who did not respond to initial IVIG therapy were given a second dose of IVIG 24-36 hours after the initial dose at 2g/kg. Patients who did not respond to second dose IVIG were given methylprednisolone 10mg/kg for 3 days or infliximab 5mg/kg once.

  • IVIG (1g/kg,twice)Drug

    Also called Asprin

    Group B patients received IVIG 1g/kg for 2 days continuously. The IVIG was started on the fifth to tenth day of illness. In combination with IVIG, the patients were administered aspirin at a dose of 30 mg/kg per day; this dose was reduced to 3-5 mg/kg per day after the fever disappeared for 3 days and the CRP value was ≤8mg/L. Patients who were admitted before the fourth day of illness were treated only with aspirin. Each immunoglobulin was administered at a dose of 1 g/kg for 10h.

    Patients who did not respond to initial IVIG therapy were given a second dose of IVIG 24-36 hours after the initial dose at 2g/kg. Patients who did not respond to second dose IVIG were given methylprednisolone 10mg/kg for 3 days or infliximab 5mg/kg once.

  • IVIG (2g/kg.once)Drug

    Also called Asprin

    Group A patients received IVIG 2g/kg per day once. The IVIG was started on the fifth to tenth day of illness. In combination with IVIG, the patients were administered aspirin at a dose of 30 mg/kg per day; this dose was reduced to 3-5 mg/kg per day after the fever disappeared for 3 days and the CRP value was ≤8mg/L. Patients who were admitted before the fourth day of illness were treated only with aspirin. Each immunoglobulin was administered at a dose of 1 g/kg for 10h.

    Patients who did not respond to initial IVIG therapy were given a second dose of IVIG 24-36 hours after the initial dose at 2g/kg. Patients who did not respond to second dose IVIG were given methylprednisolone 10mg/kg for 3 days or infliximab 5mg/kg once.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of fever subsided to normal after initial IVIG finished

    Hours of fever subsided to normal after initial IVIG finished

    Measured: 36 hours after IVIG finished

  2. incidence of coronary artery lesions(CAL) after IVIG finished

    incidence of coronary artery lesions(CAL) after IVIG finished diagnosed by echocardiography

    Measured: start from IVIG finished, ended by the end of 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. incidence of coronary artery lesions(CAL) after IVIG finished

    incidence of coronary artery lesions(CAL) after IVIG finished diagnosed by echocardiography

    Measured: start from IVIG finished, ended by the end of 1 month

  2. incidence of coronary artery lesions(CAL) after IVIG finished

    incidence of coronary artery lesions(CAL) after IVIG finished diagnosed by echocardiography

    Measured: start from IVIG finished, ended by the end of 3 month

  3. incidence of coronary artery lesions(CAL) after IVIG finished

    incidence of coronary artery lesions(CAL) after IVIG finished diagnosed by echocardiography and coronary atery angiogram

    Measured: start from IVIG finished, ended by the end of 6 month

  4. Total dose of immunoglobin used for every patient

    Total dose of immunoglobin used for every patient

    Measured: estimated about up to 10 days, start from admission,ended by discharge

  5. total medical cost for KD treatment during hospital stay

    record the hospital duration of every patient and the medical expenses for KD

    Measured: estimated about up to 10 days, start from admission,ended by discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing IVIG (1g/kg,once), IVIG (1g/kg,twice) and IVIG (2g/kg.once) in people with Kawasaki Disease, run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 11 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Duration of fever subsided to normal after initial IVIG finished (time frame: 36 hours after IVIG finished). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02439996, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 May 2018.
