About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of a Specific Scale of Life'Quality for Children With Low-flow Vascular Malformations Aged 11 to 15 Years-old.

The low-flow malformations include venous and lymphatic malformations. The malformation often affects the skin and can extend deep to the muscles and bone, as well as to deep organs. Children with low-flow vascular malformation and their family have difficulty living with their illness and have an impact on their life quality.

In this context, the aim of the study is to develope life quality test for the children between 11 to 15 years old.

Read the detailed description

The low-flow vascular malformations include venous and lymphatic malformations. These malformations are made of dilated dysplastic vessels in which the circulation is lowed down, which can lead to phenomena of thrombosis, hemorrhage, with sometimes a repercussion on the general coagulation. The malformation often affects the skin and can extend deep to the muscles and bone, as well as to deep organs. It presents by swelling sometimes voluminous and often painful. Children with low-flow malformations and their families have difficulty living with their illness and have an impact on their quality of life (QOL).

These difficulties seem relative to :

  • the lack of knowledge of the disease by doctors and the general public - medical difficulties directly related to the disease and its evolution: pain, deformation, biological anomaly, chronicity, lack of effective treatment
  • psychological difficulties related to the visible and unesthetic appearance of the lesions
  • excluding certain social activities The difficulties experienced by patients with slow-flow malformations and their family, as well as the impact on their QOL, have never been studied. Although QOL appears to be the best reflection of the severity of a chronic condition, there is no QOL questionnaire that is appropriate for the slow-flow malformations of the child or adult.

The aim of the study is to develope a specific life quality test for children between 11 to 15 years old.

These data will be used in a second time to build and validate a scale of quality of life specific slow-flow malformations of the child aged 11 to 15 years old. The study is build in 3 parts:

Focus group: collect the dimension of the lived experience and the perceptions of the children with slow-flow malformations as well as their needs and their expectations

Validation of the life quality test: the data obtained during focus group will be used to develop the scale of life quality specific to the child aged 11 to 15 years suffering to low-flow malformations. In a second time to validate the scale, this life quality test will be send to patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Focus GroupBehavioural

    First (phase 1), collect experiences, perceptions, difficulties, needs and expectations of patients with slow-flow malformations (for the age group of 11 to 15 years-old), carried out with 3 categories of participants and then (phase 2) development and validation of the specific scale of life's quality of slow-flow vascular malformation in children aged 11 to 15 years-old.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Specific scale of life's quality for slow-flow vascular malformation

    Specific scale of life's quality for slow-flow vascular malformation.

    • the preliminary version of which is created by transforming the qualitative categories resulting from the qualitative analysis of the verbatim into an exhaustive list of thematic items which will then be selected and sorted by the experts
    • and whose final version is obtained by the statistical validation analysis aimed at structural validity and unidimensionality and convergent and discriminant validity.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Focus Group in people with Vascular Malformations, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 3 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 5 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 5 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 Juliette Mazereeuw-Hautier, MD (5 67 77 81 41 ext. 33, mazereeuw-hautier.j@chu-toulouse.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Specific scale of life's quality for slow-flow vascular malformation (time frame: 12 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 5 Mar 2018.
