About this study

Official title: A Nation-wide Hospital-based Registry:China Registry for Genetic / Metabolic Liver Diseases

CR-GMLD registry started on June 13, 2015 to collect cases of genetic/metabolic liver diseases from tertiary or secondary hospitals in mainland China. Demographics, diagnosis, laboratory test results, family history and prescriptions were recorded. Patients' whole blood and serum were collected for genetic testing and future researches. These patients will be followed-up every six to twelve months.

Read the detailed description

This web-based database was launched on June 13, 2015 and consists of tertiary or secondary hospitals with special interest and expertise on managing genetic/metabolic liver diseases patients across mainland China. The main inclusion criteria for this registration are patients who were diagnosed or possibly diagnosed with Wilson's disease, hereditary hemochromatosis, hereditary hyperbilirubinemias, inherited cholestatic liver disease or other genetic/metabolic liver diseases. At the first time of data entry, demographics, medical history, biochemistry and hematology results, radiology reports, diagnosis and treatment information were recorded. Patients' whole blood and serum were collected for molecular genetic testing and future researches. Then the registered patients will receive standard of care and be followed-up every 6 to 12 months. On each visit, biochemical, radiological reports, as well as clinical progress were recorded.

    Standard of care according to the updated national and/or international guidelines

Study groups in NCT03131427
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Wilson's DiseasePatients who were diagnosed or possibly diagnosed with Wilson's disease. The diagnosis can be made or possibly made on the basis of Wilson's disease scoring system proposed by the Working Party at the 8th International Meeting on Wilson's disease, Leipzig 2001.
Receives: Drug: Standard of care
Hereditary HemochromatosisHereditary hemochromatosis can be clinically diagnosed if: ① transferrin saturation≥45% and/or elevated ferritin; ② iron overload in liver and/or spleen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of liver or on liver histology; ③ exclude causes of secondary iron overload, such as alcoholic or other chronic liver disease, iron-overloading anemia, and parenteral iron overload.
Receives: Drug: Standard of care
Hereditary HyperbilirubinemiasHereditary hyperbilirubinemias involve four syndromes: Gilbert, Crigler-Najjar, Dubin-Johnson and Rotor, among which the first two are characterized by unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and the second two by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Diagnosis of hereditary hyperbilirubinemia should exclude other causes of hyperbilirubinemia, such as obstructive bile duct (slerosing cholangitis, calculi, parasites), intrahepatic cholestasis(drugs, hepatitis, immune-mediated, infectious), acute or chronic hepatocellular injury(sepsis, parenteral nutrition, severe blood loss/hypotension, trauma, conjestive heart failure), increased bilirubin production(hemolysis, hematological disease), decreased bilirubin uptake (drugs, portosystemic shunting ), reduced conjugation activity (neonatal, thyroid disease, chronic hepatitis/inflammation, wilson's disease).
Receives: Drug: Standard of care
Inherited Cholestatic Liver DiseasePatients who were diagnosed or possibly diagnosed with Inherited cholestatic liver disease, including progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis(PFIC) and benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis(BRIC).
Receives: Drug: Standard of care
Other genetic/metabolic liver diseasesPatients who were diagnosed or possibly diagnosed with genetic/metabolic liver diseases except for Wilson's disease, hereditary hemochromatosis, hereditary hyperbilirubinemias or inherited cholestatic liver disease.
Receives: Drug: Standard of care

What is being measured

  3. Causes of death in Chinese patients of each disease

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Genetic/Metabolic Liver Diseases, run by Beijing Friendship Hospital at 12 sites 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jidong Jia, MD (010-63139816, jia_jd@ccmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

rate of liver-related events of each disease. (time frame: 10 years). 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 NCT03131427, which also lists 3 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 27 Apr 2017.
