Trial summary

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitic syndrome with coronary tropism. It has been reported worldwide, but it is ten times more common in Asian population. It is the second vasculitis of the child by its frequency after rheumatoid purpura. Read more about this study

About this study

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitic syndrome with coronary tropism. It has been reported worldwide, but it is ten times more common in Asian population. It is the second vasculitis of the child by its frequency after rheumatoid purpura. It occurs in 80% of cases between 1 and 5 years, with a maximal incidence around the age of 12 months.

KD is not well understood and the cause is yet unknown. It may be an autoimmune disorder. The problem affects the mucous membranes, lymph nodes, walls of the blood vessels, and the heart.The clinical picture of KD associate a persistent fever and an antipyretics resistance with mucocutaneous signs and bulky cervical lymphadenopathy usually unilateral.

There is currently no vaccine available against Kawasaki disease so it is extremely important to be able to recognize symptoms before they set in and become too severe.

Chagas disease (CD) is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Acute CD occurs immediately after infection, may last up to a few weeks or months. Infection may be mild or asymptomatic. There may be fever or swelling around the site of inoculation, and acute infection may result in severe inflammation of the heart muscle. The notion that the pathology of CD has an autoimmune component was initially based on the finding of circulating antibodies binding heart tissue antigens in patients chronically infected with T. cruzi.

A recent study reports a possible antigen (non-cruzi-related antibody NCRA) mimicry characterized by a serological reactivity to a well-defined T. cruzi antigen in blood samples from individuals not exposed to the parasite. The measured seroprevalence of such cross-reactivity is in favor of a highly prevalent immunogen acquired in childhood.

There are similarities in mechanism of CD and KD: it could be interesting to explore the presence of NCRA in blood samples from adults with a history of KD.

The objective of the study is the measurement of the biomarker NCRA in serum in adults with a history of KD compare to a control population. This measurement and the prevalence may permit to associate the NCRA to a possible pathogenic agent.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kawasaki Disease, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2016. 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 France. 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?

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?

Prevalence of NCRA in the KD population vs control population. (time frame: at recruitment time. (Day 0)). 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?
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 2 Aug 2016.
