Trial summary

The intrinsic asthma (atopic or not) is a particular phenotype marked by an early later symptoms, increased severity, sensitivity associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a sinonasal polyposis and eosinophilia. Unlike allergic asthma, this form does not today demonstrated its genetic character. Read more about this study

About this study

The intrinsic asthma (atopic or not) is a particular phenotype marked by an early later symptoms, increased severity, sensitivity associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a sinonasal polyposis and eosinophilia.

Unlike allergic asthma, this form does not today demonstrated its genetic character. However, the existence of familial forms of asthma in this region Pays de La Loire led us to hypothesize the existence of genetic variations can explain some familial forms of non-atopic asthma. Corresponding genes may be relevant to understanding the pathophysiological pathways involved in the more common sporadic forms.

The investigators propose a study combining genetic linkage analysis and complete sequencing exomes to identify one or more genetic abnormalities associated with non-atopic asthma. The clinical stage essential for mutation identification is to identify and recruit large families with members affected by non-atopic asthma and ensure accurate phenotyping of all individuals recruited over several generations.

The aim of this study is to create a cohort of families who have more members within them non-atopic asthma. A high genetic combined exome sequencing throughput analysis in a family linkage study will then reveal the presence or absence of genetic variations associated with intrinsic asthma.

Read the detailed description

Patients with non-atopic asthma will be identified in consultation pulmonology at Laennec Hospital (CHU Nantes) from the consultant population to severe asthma.

These patients will be treated as index case.

The investigator will conduct a family tree of the index case to identify families where the number of healthy individuals and those with non-atopic asthma makes relevant a family genetic study. Before initiating the family screening, it is necessary to have notion of at least two individuals carrying non-atopic asthma at least two generations in the family.

Related agreeing to participate in this study will be included.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing demonstration of genetic mutations causing non-atopic asthma in people with Non-atopic Asthma and Genetic Study, run by Nantes University Hospital 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 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2021. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: not enough available families to get significant genetic results). 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?

broadband genetic and fine characterization of the phenotype in familial forms. (time frame: 36 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 Jan 2021.
