Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 year to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: patients with hereditary angioedema patients with angioedema resulting of mast cell activation healthy patients, without angioedema

Who may be able to join

  • For HAE: patient with a documented diagnosis of HAE:
  • type I (from an antigenic deficiency of the C1 esterase inhibitor) or type II (from a functional deficiency of the C1 esterase inhibitor). The existence of a mutation in SERPING1 was not necessary for the inclusion
  • HAE with normal C1-INH (ex type III) with a required mutation in FXII gene or with a typical family history of HAE diagnosed by a specialized physician belonging to CREAK network.
  • For AE resulting of mast cell activation: a documented diagnosis of AE resulting of mast cell activation included:
  • mastocytosis,
  • chronic spontaneous urticaria,
Show all 10Show fewer
  • acute urticaria after exposure of allergen during allergy challenge tests,
  • mast cell activation syndrome.
  • For the control group:
  • composed of patients who presented a stabilized disease (that was not infectious, not auto-inflammatory or inflammatory disease and without implication of endothelial cells).

Who cannot join

  • Over 18 years or under 1 year.
  • Diagnosis of HAE with a normal C1 esterase inhibitor or AE of unknown aetiology.
  • Patients with HAE who received an acute attack treatment before the blood sample (the C1 esterase inhibitor concentrate or a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist); patients with HAE who received a prophylactic treatment (danazol).
  • Patients who were treated by omalizumab or corticosteroid treatment.

About this study

In emergency room, this is crucial to diagnose an acute attack of hereditary angioedema (HAE) to quickly provide the efficient treatment. Currently, there is no specific biomarker for acute attack of bradykinin-mediated angioedema to help clinicians for patient care. However, previous works are carried out for that purpose. All the potential candidate biomarkers must be validated in prospective studies to estimate their specificity and sensitivity values, and to understand their potential utility in patient care.

The main goal of this clinical trial is to estimate the diagnostic value of VE-cadherin in pediatric population, for the differential diagnosis between HAE crisis and angioedema resulting of mast cell activation crisis (the main differential diagnosis of HAE).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hereditary Angioedema and Healthy Volunteers, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 14 sites 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 10 inclusion and 4 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 18 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Recruitment difficulties). 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?

VE-cadherin level (time frame: Half a day). 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 NCT02854397, which also lists 39 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 18 Nov 2020.
