About this study

Official title: Clinical Implication of the Molecular Diagnostic Retinitis Pigmentosa Molecular Diagnostic Using High Throughput Sequencing (RP-SEQ-HD)

The retinitis pigmentosa (RP) are genetic conditions that cause retinal degeneration leading to severe low vision and is the leading cause of consultation in reference centers dedicated to the ophthalmic genetics. These rare diseases are characterized by a triple heterogeneity (clinical, genetic and molecular), which made them unreachable by traditional molecular diagnostic sequencing technology by the large number of genes to be tested (> 190).

The advent of high-throughput sequencing (NGS) and targeted capture has opened unexpected possibilities of investigation and ultimately to improve the care of patients. This project aims to study the genetic and molecular epidemiology of an interregional french (grand EST) cohort of patients. Patients receive a detailed retinal phenotype (visual acuity, visual field, photographs of the fundus and ERG). Their DNA will be analyzed by NGS targets the 190 known genes (https://sph.uth.edu/retnet/).

This research will provide a molecular epidemiological cohort study compared to prior publications on the frequency of genes involved. The benefit for patients is important to: establish a mode of transmission of the disease and optimize genetic counseling (currently very empirical); establish phenotype-genotype correlations in the French population (very few studies to date) and from the data of international literature; identify patients likely to be included in future therapeutic protocols of research; identify patients with significant potential for future projects to identify new genes.

The primary purpose of the protocol is to use high throughput sequencing to identify pathogenic variants in genes involved in RP.

The secondary purposes will be the following:

  • Determining the diagnostic yield
  • Study the genotype-phenotype correlation.

The secondary purposes will be the following:

  • Determining the diagnostic yield
  • Study the genotype-phenotype correlation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinitis Pigmentosa, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 4 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 20 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hélène DOLLFUS, MD (33.3.88.12.81.19, helene.dollfus@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with a deleterious mutation (time frame: 18 months). 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 20 Apr 2022.
